With April being Autism Awareness Month and May being Better Speech and Hearing Month, it seems fitting to share resources that help professionals and parents understand early (0-5 years old) milestones and expectations.
Ok great...but how you ask? Did you know the Center for Disease Control runs a program/website called "Learn the Signs. Act Early" loaded with free information and resources (AND A FREE APP)?
If you have questions about milestones for little ones, if you have developmental concerns, if you are just interested, GO VISIT the website! There are checklist, videos, and FREE books.

Let's talk about these FREE books! What an amazing resource. I thought it might be too good to be true, but I will attest...the books are free and they are great! There are books geared toward 2 year olds and 3 year olds available in English and Spanish. Not only are the stories engaging and the illustrations interesting for littles, they are written to highlight milestones and skills expected for 2 year olds and 3 year olds. You are limited to a max of 10 of each book per order...just a FYI :)
