The Minnesota ABCDII Project was a catalyst for activities around screening, diagnosis, and treatment of infants and toddlers experiencing mental health and developmental disorders and generated long term impact in the community. Activities included: training sessions, repeated requests for the list of professionals who are now trained to diagnose infants and toddlers, a growing interest in other agencies to give dedicated attention to children 0-3, Head Start and Early Head Start adoption of a common screening tool, and many professionals who come in contact with families and their young children who are now better informed about referral resources.
