Project ECHO is a telementoring program designed to create communities of learners by bringing together health care providers and experts in topical areas using didactic and case‐based presentations, fostering an “all learn, all teach” approach.

To mark our 10th anniversary as a Superhub, we've created an Impact Report showcasing a decade of growth, key achievements, groundbreaking innovations, and the lasting impact we've made.
Below are the AAP ECHOs currently recruiting.
Primary care providers (PCPs) are uniquely positioned to make a lifelong difference in the care, development, and well-being of children who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH). PCPs play a central role in identifying needs early, coordinating care, and guiding families through the care journey. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) invites all clinicians who care for young children, including PCPs, to join It takes a Village: Provider Partnerships to Support D/HH Children and Their Families ECHO Program. Participants will learn how to support developmental outcomes of children after their newborn hearing screening, understand how to collaborate with multiple different clinicians and system partners, and engage in peer-to-peer connections with other professionals and lived expertise partners. This ECHO will focus on increasing the knowledge, confidence and capacity of providers to collaborate across the EHDI system to better serve D/HH children and their families.
Each ECHO session will include a live American Sign Language interpreter and other necessary accommodations such as closed captioning to ensure all learners can fully participate.
This ECHO series will be held twice in October 2025—on October 6 at 12 PM CT / 1 PM ET and October 20 at 1 PM CT / 2 PM ET—and will continue with monthly sessions from November 2025 through February 2026, all scheduled for 1 PM CT / 2 PM ET.
