1 in 5 children in the U.S. has a learning, attention, or developmental disability, like autism. That’s 1 in 5 families with a child who is neurodiverse. Exposure to certain toxic chemicals in our air, food, water, and everyday products can impact children’s developing brains. The good news is that many of these exposures are preventable.
This Children’s Environmental Health Day, Children's Environmental Health Network and the Learning Disabilities Association of America’s Healthy Children Project are launching the 1 in 5 Project to support, advocate for, and mobilize families.
