Our Mission

First Signs is dedicated to educating parents and professionals about autism and related disorders.

With developmental, behavioral, and learning disabilities on the rise, there is much that remains poorly understood, from cause to cure. However, there is one widely accepted fact: early and intensive intervention can have a profound impact on the quality of life for children at risk and their families. The key is early detection. But recognizing the early signs can be a challenge for parents and healthcare professionals alike.

First Signs aims to educate parents, healthcare providers, early childhood educators, and other professionals to ensure the best developmental outcome for every child. Our goals are to improve screening and referral practices and to lower the age at which young children are identified with developmental delays and disorders.

The First Signs website provides a wealth of vital resources, covering a range of issues: from monitoring development, to concerns about a child; from the screening and referral process, to sharing concerns. We invite you to explore our website in your search for answers.
