Beyond the Checklist: Recognizing Subtle Signs of Autism in Infants and Toddlers

This workshop offers childcare professionals an opportunity to sharpen their ability to spot early signs of autism in babies and young toddlers. Rather than relying solely on checklists, you'll learn refined observation techniques and explore both the benefits and limitations of screening tools like the M-CHAT. The session equips you with practical skills to identify developmental differences sooner, communicate more effectively with families, and guide them toward appropriate evaluations and support services when needed. Presented by the Infant and Toddler Connection of Henrico, this session is designed specifically for childcare providers and includes 1.5 hours of continuing education credit. Registration is required to attend, and spots are limited. You'll receive an email with the online event link once you've registered.
