What this is, in plain language
Child Development Watch is Delaware's early intervention programme for children from birth to three with disabilities or developmental delays, providing screening, evaluation and service coordination at no cost. If autism is a concern for a child under three, the programme works with the local school district to evaluate the child and arrange services.
