Below are links to our Call To Action Campaign for Pediatricians and  Early Childhood Educators (ECE’s).  Throughout 2019-2020, DDPA has been laying the foundation for many key advocacy and educational campaigns.  Two such campaigns were developed by our Action Coordinators from the Education Committee.  Early Childhood Educators and Pediatricians play a vital role in detecting early literacy education.  

Please read, print, or download the letters below and share these letters and their resources with your local Early Childhood Centers and Pediatricians.  Please share this letter far and wide on your own various social media sites.
