ECHO Autism: Primary Care Early Diagnosis

Cincinnati Children’s Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics is launching a collaborative training program for primary care providers to learn how to diagnose autism in young children (<4 years) using a reliable, standardized approach. By enrolling in this learning opportunity, you will build capacity for young children to receive timely and accurate diagnosis in their medical home. The goal of ECHO Autism STAT is to promote equitable access to diagnostic and longitudinal care for children with autism especially those living in rural areas or with other barriers to accessing care at tertiary care centers.
