Autism Specialist Support for Primary Care

Want To Learn More?

Many communities in Missouri have no meaningful access to expert autism care, and families touched by autism need medical support in their home communities.

Get autism specialist knowledge in a virtual learning network with a panel of interdisciplinary Missouri providers. With ECHO Autism, you’ll learn about best practices and evidence-based care for children with autism and developmental behavioral concerns. Specific goals and objectives for this ECHO include detecting mental health concerns, diagnosing and treating common mental health disorders, making appropriate referrals, and supporting kids and teens in their treatment for mental health disorders. ECHO Autism takes place year round from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month.
