The ECHO Autism for Rural Healthcare Providers will offer healthcare providers best practice strategies and support for working with patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The network is being operated by the Utah Regional Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (URLEND) and the Wyoming Institute for Disabilities (WIND).
Sessions are on Fridays, monthly, 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. MT via Zoom video conferencing technology.
Starting this fall 2023, most ECHO sessions will be held on the new iECHO content management platform. (Geriatrics and ECHO for Families/Familias will not be on the new iECHO.) There are a few new procedures. Registering for and joining sessions now require an iECHO account. You'll be prompted to create your account when you register the first time. Sessions will still occur via Zoom, but you will access the Zoom link through the iECHO platform.
The iECHO platform will allow you to:
Directly connect to Zoom to join a session
Access all session materials (also available in the Canvas course)
Register once for all sessions during the semester
A short training video is available on how to register in iECHO.
Zoom also provides access for users with physical disabilities, blindness, and low vision through a range of keyboard shortcuts.
This session presentation will give a brief overview of the importance of using communication to decrease challenging behavior in nonverbal or minimally verbal individuals with autism spectrum disorders. It will discuss what functional communication training is and provide the audience with some guidance on how to implement it in everyday life. Part of the presentation will focus on enhancing self-advocacy through functional communication training.
Presenter: Daphne Hartzheim, Speech Language Pathologist, Utah Regional Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (URLEND)
