To support early detection efforts for developmental disabilities, 
CDC-TV<http://www.cdc.gov/CDCtv> has just released a new video in its

<http://www.cdc.gov/CDCtv/BabySteps/%3E> >".  
The video provides up-to-date information and guidance on identifying 
developmental disabilities and builds upon resources such as NCBDDD's Learn
the 
Signs. Act Early<http://www.cdc.gov/ACTEARLY> campaign.

This video, which is available for viewing through a number of channels 
including mobile phone or as a podcast, is also available for download (See 
"Download this Video" instructions on the CDC-TV
page<http://www.cdc.gov/CDCtv/>) 
allowing organizations to utilize the video in a number of ways including 
present the video as an instructional tool for new parents, caregivers, 
healthcare providers or teachers.  Featuring interviews with a developmental

pediatrician as well as the parent of a special needs chil d, the video
presents 
compelling and instructional information about developmental milestones .

New "Health Matters" features are released each month, and each are produced
in 
collaboration with subject matter experts within CDC's Centers, Institutes
