Activity 2

Pathways.org continued efforts reaching a national audience through marketing and outreach to raise awareness about the gift of early detection, promise of early therapy and benefits of tummy time. In fiscal year 2012, pathways distributed over 46,000 printed brochures to parents and health care professionals. Our brochure, assure baby's physical development, includes a growth and development chart to educate parents on developmental milestones and allow them to track their child's development. The brochure is available in fifteen different languages that have been accessed numerous times from our website. Our website, a resource for parents and professionals around the world, received over 150,000 pages viewed with 45,953 unique visitors. Pathways videos vignettes have been viewed over 188,500 times since being posted february, 2009. Our national toll-free information hotline 1-800-955-2445 is answered by parents whose children have benefitted from early therapy services. Our parent resource center has responded to over 175 calls and e-mails from concerned parents, grandparents and caregivers. Pathways exhibited at 13 national conferences, presented at seven professional society annual meetings and 12 residency programs personally connecting with over 20,000 professionals. We received over 1,600 emails of those professionals wanting to stay up to date with our program. Pathways continues to work with the american academy of pediatrics (aap), with our online continuing medical education (cme) course: recognizing early motor delays at the 2-month pediatric well visit. The curriculum uses side-by-side video comparisons of infant observation to help health professionals, students, parents, and caregivers recognize the signs of an early motor delay in children as early as 2 months of age and determine the most appropriate intervention if an early motor delay is observed. Pathways expanded the course and created "2, 4, 6 month motor - course to go", allowing others to present to students, colleagues, parents, and friends. Early detection and early intervention are key to ensuring the best for all children's physical development.
