Early Child Development
World Summit | January 11th - 12th, 2025
On January 11th and 12th, 2025, the first online world summit on screen time and early childhood development, specifically related to autism, was hosted by the documentary team of A Stone Unturned, and featured speakers and experts in early child development from the United States, France and Romania.
The format of the talks included 20 minute presentations from child psychologists, clinicians, autism researchers, and early interventionists as well as parents who removed screen time for their children showing development symptoms related to autism and later saw remediation of those symptoms as part of early interventions.
