ECHO stands for Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes. ECHO Autism uses videoconferencing technology to share autism specialist knowledge with family physicians, pediatricians, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners and allied health professionals throughout Alberta and the Northwest Territories.
A Hub team of autism specialists hosted by the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital facilitate dynamic case-based learning opportunities for the participants. The interactive learning environment encourages all participants to actively contribute to the discussion and embodies the philosophy of “All Teach, All Learn”.
ECHO Moves Knowledge, Not People
ECHO Autism leverages video technology to connect Primary Care Providers to a Hub Team of specialists.
By building the knowledge base and capacity of the primary care provider, more care is able to be provided within the child’s own community by the clinician the child and family knows and trusts.
Each session provides a knowledge burst consisting of evidence based best practices in autism care followed by a case presentation and collaborative discussion. This teaching model empowers primary care providers to learn from the experiences of their colleagues, facilitated by the knowledge of the Hub Team of specialists.
Winter 2026 dates To Be Announced!
