The ECHO Autism team from the UC Davis MIND Institute will be sharing about the ECHO Autism program and their experience. Come learn about the model as CDS prepares to launch its own ECHO Autism program.
ECHO Autism is an interdisciplinary learning network that offers training on evidence based practices and teaching through case-based discussion. The ECHO model has been shown to increase knowledge and confidence in providing care to individuals with autism and other neurodevelopmental disabilities.
The ECHO mentorship model utilizes technology to connect a “hub” of specialty content experts with generalist “spokes” across underserved areas to disseminate knowledge. The main tenant of Project ECHO is “move knowledge, not people.”
