Overview The ECHO Autism Communities STAT Early Diagnostic Model trains primary care clinicians (PCPs) to screen, evaluate, and diagnose autism in children ages 14 to 48 months. Participants also learn best practices for ongoing autism care after diagnosis, supported by guided practice. The STAT is an empirically based, interactive level 2 screener that assesses social-communication and play behaviors related to autism. When combined with diagnostic interviews, developmental screeners, and DSM-5 criteria, it enables trained clinicians to provide accurate early diagnoses. Who is eligible to attend the ECHO Autism Communities STAT Training? Family physicians, pediatricians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who work with young children, specifically children under the age of 4.
