We're facing a national crisis: every year, more than one million kids enter school with an undiagnosed disability. The infographic’s visual data tells the story of babies who are born with a developmental delay or disability, but do not receive the help they need early, when they can benefit the most. Many enter kindergarten with learning and health issues that put them far behind their peers and have a lasting, negative effect on their ability to meet their full potential. The infographic, available via Easter Seals’ Facebook page , brings more of this startling data to life:
• A child can be diagnosed with autism as early as age two; most children aren’t diagnosed until after the age of four
• One in five households with children has a child with a special health care need and could benefit from screening and services, yet less than 20 percent of children under the age of 5 receive a developmental screening
