Join ECHO Autism Hawaiʻi and be part of a transformative learning experience!
ECHO participants engage in a virtual community with their peers where they share support, guidance, and feedback. As a result, our collective understanding of how to disseminate and implement best practices across diverse disciplines continuously improves and expands.
During an ECHO session, participants present real (anonymized) cases to the specialists—and each other—for discussion and recommendations. Participants learn from one another, as knowledge is tested and refined through a local lens. This continuous loop of learning, mentoring, and peer support is what makes ECHO unique, with a long-lasting impact far beyond that of an in-person training, webinar, or e-learning course. Our knowledge-sharing model brings together specialists from multiple focus areas for a robust, holistic approach.
ECHO Autism is a pioneering initiative designed to improve the quality of care for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families. Through virtual collaborative learning sessions, ECHO Autism connects autism service providers and families with autism experts, empowering them with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver timely and effective care. By fostering a community of practice, ECHO Autism aims to reduce disparities in access to autism services and improve outcomes for individuals with ASD across diverse communities.
Our upcoming program for Summer 2024 is “Family-Centered Care.” Led by faculty from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, this program will focus on enhancing autism services through family engagement and culturally responsive practices. Our sessions provide hands-on learning using the ECHO model.
This ECHO is designed for autism service providers, including speech-language pathologists, psychologists, occupational therapists, BCBA/RBTs, social workers, and others. Through the ACEs Model of Alliance, Collaboration, and Empowerment, participants will expand their knowledge, network with peers, and enhance their practice.
