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. What can you expect if you participate in the ECHO Autism STAT Early Diagnostics model training? Attend a two-day STAT training in February 2026 (in Cincinnati or virtually TBD) , Participate in a yearlong training…

Prechtl’s General Movement Assessment Advanced Course
Cincinnati Children’s Division of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy is proud to offer both the basic and advanced general movement assessment courses.
Research conducted in the last 20 years has shown that the qualitative assessment of spontaneous movement in the fetus, newborn, and young infant is an early and reliable indicator for diagnosis and prognosis of neurological disorders. Compelling evidence is now available that qualitative assessment of General Movements (GMs) — a specific type of spontaneous movement — under the age of five months is the best predictor of cerebral palsy.
This course fulfills the standards specified by the Generalized Movement Trust. The course will consist of lessons, demonstration, and discussion of video recordings. Lectures will alternate with exercises in small groups with videos prepared by the tutors.
Participants registering for the advanced course must have previously completed the basic training course. Advanced course participants will learn more detailed…
