Very interesting! What are some ways to reduce the gap between minority children and White children having access to diagnosis?
Thank you, Sarah. I believe your question is more of a systems level issue which spans beyond the content of our research. However, your question is definitely the goal follow-up question to our project which draws attention to these gaps and leaves the aspect of “what are the next steps?”
Great poster! Such an important topic. How can we get more educational resources to under represented families?

Hello Ashleigh,
Thank you so much for you question! One resource is the CDC’s “Learn the Signs. Act Early” campaign. This page is available in English and Spanish and offers guidance to families who are concerned about their child’s development. https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/index.html
Thank you for sharing your research and presenting at NEPA!
