This presentation highlights a multi-tiered approach to improving behavioral supports, programming, employee training, and specialized care, such as dental services. By fostering teamwork among behavior analysts, clinical staff, and other professionals, we create evidence-based solutions tailored to diverse client needs. Training initiatives build staff competence, while innovative strategies integrate behavioral science into specialized care to improve client outcomes and experiences. Beyond agency operations, our interdisciplinary ECHO for Autism team connects professionals across healthcare, education, and social services to enhance service delivery through collaborative learning and knowledge sharing. Using the Project ECHO framework, we expand the reach and impact of autism-specific best practices. This session will share practical strategies, success stories, and lessons learned, demonstrating the power of interdisciplinary collaboration to drive innovation and improve care.
