The Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) framework is an innovative tele-mentoring model for building capacity for best-practice care. To inform the development of the ECHO curriculum for the current project, EI professionals completed a needs assessment rating scale of potential training topics. Thus, this study developed and tested a new ECHO Autism program for training Part C Early Intervention (EI) professionals in autism-specific care. Results indicated that total self-efficacy scores, as well as confidence in screening/assessment, treatment, care coordination/communication, caregiver engagement, and connecting families to resources significantly improved from baseline to post-training. These findings suggest that the ECHO model may hold promise for equipping EI providers with best-practice strategies for working with young autistic children and their families, particularly those living in underserved communities.
