The objectives of the Pennsylvania First Signs program are to:

1. Increase knowledge of early warning signs among pediatric practitioners in Pennsylvania to raise their level of awareness
2. Improve frequency and quality of screening young children
3. Facilitate timely referral of children in Pennsylvania to local Early Intervention programs
4. Lower the age at which children are identified with autism and other developmental disorders in Pennsylvania
