Penn State College of Medicine’s Project ECHO invites the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) Providers to register for a 10-session training program focused on deepening skills, compassion, and collaboration for those providing care where the needs and the impact are profound.


No matter your level of experience, this program meets you where you are, helping you build confidence, competence, and connection in neurodivergent-affirming practice. Through interactive case discussions and expert-led sessions, participants will gain practical tools and real-world insights to enhance the quality of care and support for autistic adults with complex needs.

 

Register early; space is limited.
