April 2 was declared by the United Nations (UN) in 2007 as World Autism Awareness Day. Since then, throughout the world, the month of April has been dedicated to various activities that seek to raise awareness and inform people about what Autistic Spectrum Disorder is and to promote strategies aimed at improving the quality of life of people with this disorder.
On April 28, the Anita Garibaldi Center for Health Education and Research promoted training aimed at health professionals who work in the Family Health Strategy (ESF) in the Municipality of Macaíba-RN on the Tracking of Early Signs of Mental Disorder Autistic Spectrum. The event took place in conjunction with the Municipal Health Department and the Municipal Health Council and was attended by 99 professionals from the 23 ESF teams in Macaíba.
In an approach aimed especially at nurses and community health agents, the main objective of the strategy was to equip professionals who are closest to children in the community with a closer look at signs that may, earlier, suggest Autism Spectrum Disorder.
