One in 88 children may have autism.  Has your practice setting done a good job in identifying those children at a very early age?  Pediatric surveys still show that developmental screening and early diagnosis is a problem area for many
primary care providers.

The NYSDOH Bureau of Early Intervention and the American Academy of Pediatrics, District II (NYS) cordially invite you to join us for a free two-part training session to discuss a simple, sound approach to this important area of caring for children.

EVENT:   Workshop & Dinner
