MTSS Integrated Conference '26

This presentation will cover WA INCLUDE's use of the ECHO model to bring together educators, clinicians, and community partners to improve outcomes for students with IDD and autism. This session will highlight how cross-sector collaboration among school districts and medical professionals in tele-mentoring fosters shared problem-solving, strengthens behavioral and mental health supports, and builds capacity within school systems. Participants will learn how partnerships between WA INCLUDE and school districts in WA State have led to the creation of innovative, coordinated approaches to supporting students with complex needs as well as how the ECHO model can be expanded in their own districts.
