ECHO Autism

What is an ECHO Autism Community?

Everyone deserves to live their best life.  Accessing all that a community has to offer allows us to do things that make us happy and live the life we want.  People with autism have unique strengths and challenges.  We believe that autism challenges should never stand in the way of a person living their best life and communities need to come together to ensure they are supportive and inclusive.
ECHO Autism programs share knowledge and best-practice resources with medical providers, educators, therapists, advocates and people who work in the community to ensure people with autism and their families have access to the care and support they need to live their best life!  ECHO Autism programs build capacity in professionals who will then support the foundation of communities everywhere.
Businesses like barbershops and grocery stores, organizations like sports teams and clubs, medical clinics, schools, neighborhoods, and everything in between, ECHO Autism is working towards building teams to help communities across the world become a more inclusive place.
