Welcome to our resource page for our project, ASSERT ECHO!
The ASSERT: All StakeholderS Engaged in Research Together project seeks to engage people on the autism spectrum, with Down syndrome, or with other intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) along with caregivers, clinicians, and researchers. Our goal is to build an online learning community using the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model. In this ECHO model, stakeholders learn about research together in a way that is collaborative and multidirectional (all learners gain knowledge from each other). Through this project, stakeholders “assert” themselves and make their voices heard as they work together as partners in research to improve health outcomes.
