During the session, participants shared their thoughts through a live Zoom poll and open discussion. The resulting word cloud highlighted key areas of interest and concern, including autism, supports, resources, waivers, and services. These insights reflect the real-world challenges and priorities of our community.
We also engaged in a case-based discussion, where participants brought forward real-life questions and scenarios to guide collaborative problem-solving and shared learning.
A screenshot from this discussion is included below to highlight the types of questions that guide our collaborative learning.
At HANDS, we believe in responsive offerings. That’s why we’re using your feedback to customize upcoming ECHO sessions, ensuring that the topics we cover are not only relevant but also immediately applicable to your work and lives.
The HANDS in Autism® ECHO series follows the Project ECHO™ model, which is grounded in the philosophy of “All Teach, All Learn.” This approach fosters a collaborative learning environment where everyone from professionals to families contributes their knowledge and experiences. Each session includes expert-led discussions, real-world case sharing, and access to a growing library of tools and resources.
We’re grateful for your engagement and look forward to continuing this journey with you. If you’re new or would like to invite others, we welcome you to register to join and be part of our growing ECHO community.
