The products include (a) web-based statewide physician referral and reference guide, (b) fact sheet identifying “red flags” and early screening and surveillance practice, and (c) training module highlighting “red flags”, general and specific developmental screening instruments and suggestions on incorporating routine screening and surveillance into one’s practice.
