It is also beneficial for a broad array of professionals\, including clinicians\, support staff\, administrators\, leadership\, and anyone who interacts with\, or supports programs for\, young children and their families. By the end of the webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nRecognize the critical role that families play in monitoring and supporting their child’s development.\n\n\n\nUnderstand how engaging families in monitoring as part of ongoing developmental surveillance complements developmental screening.\n\n\n\nDescribe how CDC’s free “Learn the Signs.
