A New Resource

Pathways Awareness Foundation, a national non-profit organization dedicated to raising community awareness of the benefits of early detection and early therapy for children with physical differences, received an endorsement from the American Academy of Pediatrics for its brochure, "Assure the Best for your Baby's Physical Development."

The brochure, designed to educated parents and assist medical professionals, includes a growth and development chart highlighting speech, play, and physical development milestones from 3 to 15 months of age. This unique tool allows parents to become proactive in tracking their child's development and encourages early therapy.

To receive your free copies of the brochure to distribute to parents or to get more information, call Pathways' "parent-answered" toll-free number at 1-800-955-2445, email friends@pathwaysawareness.org, or visit www.pathwaysawareness.org.

Pathways believes early detection is the best prevention.
