🔍 Recognizing Early Signs of Autism in Toddlers
Early identification can make a big difference. This 9-minute video from Kennedy Krieger Institute helps parents, educators, and pediatric professionals recognize subtle behaviors in one-year-olds that may indicate early signs of autism.
🎥 What to expect:
• Real toddler video clips
• Side-by-side comparisons of typical and atypical behaviors
• Clear voiceover explanations of what to watch for
Created by Dr. Rebecca Landa and supported by the NIH, this video is a powerful tool to promote early screening and support. Research shows that about 50% of children with autism show signs by 14 months, yet many are not diagnosed until later.
Please share with parents, caregivers, early childhood educators, and healthcare providers. Awareness leads to early support, and early support changes lives.
