Families

Wyoming Institute for Disabilities (WIND)

ECHO for Families is a community that provides opportunities for learning, advocacy, and mentorship with families that have a child with developmental disabilities, autism, or other special healthcare needs. This network allows families to receive professional support and brainstorm evidence-based solutions or share successes with other families around the state and nation.

The UW ECHO for Families is the first ECHO network that provides information directly to families and can be accessed anywhere in the state.

Registration and Information

Sessions

During the Spring 2026 learning series we will introduce the Charting the LifeCourse framework, designed to help individuals with disabilities and families at any age or stage of life develop a vision for a good life, think about what they need to know and do, identify how to find or develop supports, and discover what it takes to live the lives they want to live. Each session will include a presentation on one of the key life domains, followed by time for participants to
complete some of the tools focused on supporting their child or family’s goals, strengths, and needs.

This session will provide an overview of the Charting the LifeCourse (CtLC) framework and how it supports person-centered and family perspective planning across the lifespan. Participants will be introduced to key LifeCourse tools and worksheets and will have time to practice completing them and reflect on how they can be used in real-life planning.
