Early Intervention
Utah Act Early
The Summit County Health Department and the Utah Department of Health & Human Services are partnering to help parents learn about healthy development for their newborns and young children.
Seeing your child reach developmental milestones can be fun and memorable moments. Parents and grandparents often watch for a child’s first steps and words, and remember those moments forever.
But sometimes children have delays in their development, such as not babbling, not responding to their names, or avoiding eye contact.
To learn more about this important program and what you as a parent can do, call us at 435-333-1520 or click here for the Act Early website.
