World Autism Awareness Day 4/2/26
Acceptance is everything!
Early diagnosis is possible and so important!
Every child should be screened for it at every visit but with formal testing called the MCHAT-R at 18 and 24 months
Early recognition leads to early treatment which improves outcomes
Teach your kids acceptance!! ❤️

20% of infants died due to infectious diseases that are now preventable by vaccines.
Can you imagine the sadness and senseless loss of going back to this!
Kids deserve protection!

3-21 has been chosen as World Down Syndrome Day as that is the only difference between someone who has Down Syndrome versus someone who doesn't, 3 copies of chromosome 21 instead of 2!
"The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just a little extra", in this case an extra chromosome!
WE ARE MORE ALIKE THAN DIFFERENT! ❤️

A federal judge in Boston has temporarily blocked key parts of HHS’s childhood vaccine policy after ruling in a case brought by the AAP and other medical organizations.

A stay granted by Judge Brian Murphy halts the implementation of HHS’s reduced childhood immunization schedule released earlier this year and halts the 13 recently appointed members of the ACIP vaccine advisory panel from serving ahead of their planned meeting later this week. The court also invalidated prior votes taken by the panel to change vaccine recommendations.

At least 50 infants died in an inclined sleeper after the products were recalled, according to a new “Pediatrics” study. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of nearly 5 million inclined sleepers after reports of infant deaths in April 2019. A few years later, Congress banned the manufacturing and distribution of inclined sleepers and crib bumpers.

AAP recommends that infants sleep on their backs on a firm, flat, non-inclined surface with no loose bedding or soft objects. Learn more in AAP News: https://bit.ly/4kWL9EP
