Autism Speaks First Concern to Action Tool Kit

If you have a concern about how your child is communicating, interacting or behaving, you are probably wondering what to do next.

The First Concern to Action Tool Kit can help you sort that out. The purpose of this tool kit is to provide you with specific resources and tools to help guide you on the journey from your first concern to action.

The kit was developed to provide families of children under the age of five with:

  • An overview of early child development;
  • Guidance on what to do if you have a concern about your child’s development;
  • Information about obtaining an evaluation for your child’s development and treatment options, if needed.

The kit is divided into the following sections:

  • Introduction and About Autism
  • Understanding Your Child’s Development
  • Talking to Your Health Care Provider
  • Getting a Formal Evaluation
  • What if My Health Care Provider Says “Autism”?
  • Other Things to Know
  • Tools and Resources for Families

Keep in mind that not all concerns result in a diagnosis of autism or a specific developmental disability, but being proactive can make a world of difference.

It is important to remember that you know your child best. If you are concerned at any time, voice it!
