Project Description:

The MIDB TeleOutreach Center will bring together clinical pediatric providers and developmental specialists to reach underserved communities around the state with convenient and cost-effective services. MIDB is an interdisciplinary center dedicated to supporting healthy brain development and intervening early to address mental health and neurodevelopmental challenges such as autism, learning disabilities, substance abuse disorders, and other neurocognitive disabilities. Tele-outreach refers to a broad set of training, technical assistance, and intervention services delivered electronically to children, families, and professionals in the field. Using secure, remote video communication technology, leading specialists will provide assessment, intervention, and support for young people with mental health and neurodevelopmental disabilities. The Center will also conduct remote training and coaching for health, education, and human services professionals, as well as families. The technology will allow investigators to conduct innovative research, collaborate with each other, and host community forums for creating better outcomes for children, young people, and their families.
