ECHO Autism: Primary Care Early Diagnosis
Cincinnati Children’s Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics is launching a collaborative training program for primary care providers to learn how to diagnose autism in young children (<4 years) using a reliable, standardized approach. By enrolling in this learning opportunity, you will build capacity for young children to receive timely and accurate diagnosis in their medical home. The goal of ECHO Autism STAT is to promote equitable access to diagnostic and longitudinal care for children with autism especially those living in rural areas or with other barriers to accessing care at tertiary care centers.
Dates
2nd and 4th Wednesdays, 12:00 PM – 1:30PM | Coming January 2026

Featured Faculty
I am a developmental-behavioral pediatrician and specialize in providing care to children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, and developmental-behavioral concerns linked to complex congenital heart disease, with a strong focus on long-term support for children and families. My clinical and research work centers on improving developmental outcomes and quality of life through shared decision-making and quality improvement initiatives. I serve as the Director of the Kelly O’Leary Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders. My goal is to ensure children receive the highest standard of care tailored to their needs, values, and potential.
I am a developmental pediatrician at Cincinnati Children’s, where I’ve cared for children with developmental delays and disabilities since 2011, working closely with families and a multidisciplinary team to support early diagnosis and care. I value building long-term relationships with families, guiding them through therapies, services, and shared decision-making as their child grows. My research focuses on improving care for children with developmental delays and disabilities in foster care and enhancing patient safety in outpatient settings. I also serve as the Associate Chair for Clinical Affairs in DDBP at Cincinnati Children’s.
