Project ECHO® is a learning framework designed to build capacity of professionals and community members to provide evidence-based services. Led by a multidisciplinary team of experts, ECHO participants engage in a virtual community with their peers where they share knowledge, support and feedback.

The Waisman Center’s Health Care Transition ECHO  is a virtual training series for health care providers across the US who work with youth and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This includes primary and specialty care providers, advanced practice providers (NP/PA), nurses, social workers, and any other provider interested in health care transition.

Participants will learn and share strategies to support youth and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to direct their own transition from pediatric to adult care and a healthy adulthood. Topics for this round include:

  • Working with Schools on Health Care Transition
