ECHO Autism Communities

ECHO Autism Communities is a healthcare-focused virtual learning network that disseminates autism and developmental disability best practices using the Project ECHO model. Rather than developing drugs or providing direct patient care, the organization trains and mentors clinicians, educators, and community professionals through case-based learning, guided practice, and digital resources. Its programs are designed to improve access to equitable autism care, education, and support services, especially in rural and underserved communities. The organization also works with self-advocates, families, hospitals, universities, and other partner institutions to launch and scale local ECHO Autism programs in the U.S. and internationally.
