Abstract

This research aimed to analyze participants' demographics, distribution, and engagement for the HANDS Developmental Disabilities and/or Autism ECHO tele-mentoring program. Data was collected through surveys to understand the representation of different participant types, race composition, gender distribution, and geographic distribution. The study also examined the preferred modes of consultation and professional involvement in diagnosing and supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and autism. Key findings indicated that family/caregivers were the most represented participant type, with a predominant race of White or Caucasians and a higher female participation rate. Indiana showed the highest geographic interest. Preferred consultation methods included phone and online consultations, with email consultations being favored by the majority. Professional involvement highlighted the need for increased engagement in early diagnosis and intervention. Workshop preferences leaned towards webinars, with less interest in all-day conferences. Recommendations were made to increase outreach to community providers, expand email consultation topics, diversify workshop offerings, strengthen professional awareness, and leverage geographic interest to develop localized programs.
