ECHO for Families is a community that provides opportunities for learning, advocacy,
and mentorship with families that have a child with developmental disabilities, autism,
or other special healthcare needs. This network allows families to receive professional
support and brainstorm evidence-based solutions or share successes with other families
around the state and nation.
The UW ECHO for Families is the first ECHO network that provides information directly to families and can be accessed anywhere in the state.
Sessions are on Wednesdays, biweekly, 12:00 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. MT via Zoom video conferencing technology.
