Brain Architecture
Early experiences affect the development of  brain architecture , which provides the foundation for all future learning, behavior, and health. Just as a weak foundation compromises the quality and strength of a house, adverse experiences early in life can impair brain architecture, with negative effects lasting into adulthood.

News + Happenings
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 in 6 children aged 3-17 has a developmental disability, but many of these children are not identified until they are school-aged. Early identification and intervention are crucial to help each child build new skills and reduce the need for costly interventions in the future. CDC's Learn the Signs. Act Early. program provides early childhood educators, clinicians, and families with resources, materials, and tools to improve early identification of children with autism and other developmental disabilities.
