Learning Hub

Connected Through Learning: Spring ECHO at the Haring Center!

Project ECHO (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) is an innovative online learning model that brings together experts and community members through virtual case-based discussions. Using a “hub-and-spoke” approach, specialists at the center (the hub) connect with participants across different locations (the spokes) to share knowledge and build skills through real-world examples. This interdisciplinary model creates collaborative learning communities where everyone learns from each other’s experiences.

At the Haring Center, we have offered ECHOs for caregivers, birth-to-three providers, special educators, and Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). This spring, we are offering a new ECHO series and hope you can join us!
