About the series:
The ECHO (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) is a free, virtual learning workshop series designed to enhance healthcare professionals' understanding and skills in neurodevelopmental diagnoses and care. This series connects researchers and clinicians with specialists (the 'Hub Team') to support continued learning and improve access to best-practice care.
What's covered:
Continuing education opportunities for professionals diagnosing autism are limited. This workshop helps fill these gaps by focusing on:
Developing skills in autism diagnostic practices for children ages 0 to 12 years, including administration and coding of the
Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule - Second Edition(ADOS-2).
Improving knowledge of differential diagnosis and co-occurring conditions for autism in children ages 0 to 12 years.
Exploring appropriate recommendations for children diagnosed with autism and related neurodevelopmental conditions.
Who should attend:
Professionals who have completed the ADOS-2 Introductory Online Workshop through The Neuro and McGill University within the past 2 years.
Professionals from the public system in Quebec who are currently involved in making autism diagnoses for children aged 0-12 years.
What to expect:
Expert lecturers: Each session features a specialist from our Hub Team discussing key topics in neurodevelopmental assessment.
Case studies: Participants present real-life case studies from their practices, providing practical insights and learning opportunities.
Group discussions: Open discussions follow the case presentations, allowing participants to share insights, ask questions, and engage with experts and peers.
Why participate: Connect with other professionals, engage in collaborative learning through case discussions, and stay informed about best practices in autism diagnoses from a diverse team of experts.
