Azrieli Centre for Autism Research (ACAR): Transforming autism research, training and care -- improving lives via Open Science

ECHO-Autism Workshop

The ECHO-Autism telementoring program is breaking new ground in Quebec – under the direction ofÌýJulie Scorah, PhD – and setting a standard for best practices and expanding knowledge about autism and neurodevelopmental conditions among healthcare providers.

​How it works

The consists of a platform for both delivery of services and outcomes research, with the purpose of reducing health disparities by erasing barriers between specialty and primary care, particularly in underserved and remote areas. Using a "hub-and-spoke" model, the program connects expert specialists (the 'Hub Team') with healthcare professionals and trainees in local communities through virtual clinics.

Each session includes a short didactic lecture on a specific topic, followed by a case study by an attendee and a group discussion.
