It is essential to support children with developmental differences at an early age, but they often miss the opportunity for early intervention services provided under federal law. Pediatricians Toni Whitaker, MD, and Jennifer Poon, MD, join us to increase awareness of early intervention services for children ages 3-5 years. They provide insights on the work they're doing with pediatric peer providers to equip them with skills to facilitate equitable access to these services.

Guests:
Toni Whitaker, MD,
Professor and Chief of Developmental Pediatrics, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital
Jennifer Poon, MD, Professor and Division Chief for Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University
