About This Program

Designed for primary care and allied health professionals, the Addressing Disruptive Behavior in Early Childhood ECHO program provides practical, evidence-informed strategies for managing disruptive or dysregulated behavior in young children. Participants will engage with a multidisciplinary panel and peers through interactive, case-based sessions focused on effective interventions, family-centered approaches, and cross-sector collaboration. 

Topics include evidence-based therapies, highlighting both medical and non-medical interventions, educational interventions and school supports, strategies for supporting families of children with disabilities, and military and community resources.

Participants are encouraged to submit de-identified patient cases for group discussion and learning.
