Early Childhood

Training and Best Practices header

UW ECHO in Early Childhood increases the capacity of early childhood professionals to identify and implement best practices in areas that include early literacy, transitions, behavior support and identification, and referral detection.

Network participants include case managers/family service coordinators, general educators, home daycare providers, paraeducators, related service providers (OTs, PT, SLPs, etc.), school administrators, school directors, school counselors, school psychologists, social workers, special educators, state agency staff and all others interested in improving outcomes for students in the early childhood setting.

UW ECHO in Early Childhood is a collaboration with the Wyoming Department of Health and the Wyoming Early Childhood Outreach Network.

Sessions are on Fridays, bi-weekly, 1:00 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. MT via Zoom video conferencing technology.


Spring 2024 Session Topics

Register for the Spring 2024 Early Childhood Series

Continuing this Spring 2024, 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.

Spring 2024 Series: Supporting Young Children to Cope, Build Resilience and Heal From Trauma Through Play

Session Dates: January 19, February 2, February 16, March 1

For children who experience trauma, play is a powerful tool that provides them with a context to transform the experiences that are overwhelming, frightening, and unimaginable into manageable and predictable events that they have control over. In this training, we go deeper in understanding the intersection of trauma and play and how to support children to have a voice and pathways to heal.

Learning Objectives: Throughout this series, participants will be able to:

  • describe the four parts of the brain and how each part is impacted by trauma and stress and how play supports healing
  • identify 1-2 trauma-responsive strategies to support a child during expressions of trauma during they play
  • name 1-2 trauma-responsive attunement strategies to help trauma-impacted children during play

Presenter: Julie Kurtz, Founder and Executive Director, Center for Optimal Brain Integration (Presenter Bio)
