Act Early COVID-19 Response Teams from 43 States and Territories to Receive One-Year Grants
To ensure that children with suspected developmental disabilities don’t fall through the cracks during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Association of University Centers on Disabilities has invested over $4M in their Act Early Network to help identify cases of autism. The Act Early Network has organized specific Act Early COVID-19 Response Teams throughout the country. The goal of these teams is to not only diagnose at-risk children but to strengthen their resilience skills, improve their behaviors, and provide resources to their families.
