Autism

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that 1 in 36 children in the United States have autism spectrum disorder (ASD). American Academy of Pediatric guidelines state that early diagnosis and early intervention have significant outcomes.

Led by a panel of subject matter experts in pediatric family practice, developmental pediatrics, pediatric psychology, speech pathology, patient care coordination and parent advocacy, our series will enhance your competencies and provide the opportunity to learn best practices for screening and treating ASD in pediatric care.

Participating in ECHO Idaho also helps you connect with other peers statewide to identify approaches and resources for advancing whole patient care and receive insightful, interdisciplinary feedback on complex patient cases. These sessions are designed to be collaborative, engaging and immediately applicable to your practice.

When

12:30-2 p.m. Mountain time, second and fourth Thursdays.
