Project Description:

In 2019, the Washington State Legislature provided funding to help us support primary care providers (PCPs) in their ability to diagnose and provide treatment plans for individuals with autism and their families through the ECHO Autism Washington program. ECHO Autism Washington supports PCPs who serve the Medicaid population through the Washington State Centers of Excellence (COE) program. The Washington State COE program was designed to address the Washington State healthcare provider workforce shortage that has contributed to the long waitlist for accessing both diagnostic and treatment services for people with ASD.
