ECECD promotes FIT program accomplishments during Autism Awareness Month
SANTA FE – In recognition of Autism Awareness Month in April, the New Mexico Early Childhood Education and Care Department (ECECD) Family Infant Toddler (FIT) program reaffirms its commitment to help New Mexico families access high quality, no-cost early intervention services for children from birth to age 3 who have or may be at risk for a developmental delay, while also making sure the services provided are accessible, respectful, and family-centered. The Lujan Grisham administration’s commitment is reflected in New Mexico’s ranking third in the United States for identifying young children who could benefit from early intervention services, as determined by the federal Office of Special Education Programs.
