In the Training component of the study, the focus is on enhancing readiness to utilize tele-mentoring and tele-education tools, telehealth, and technology-based solutions. The training agenda involves a multifaceted approach with continuous refinement and enhancement of technology and educational products, tailored to the specific needs of developmental and behavioral health support, and services for youth with MEDB needs. Barriers to access are being addressed through innovative strategies, such as Project ECHO®. Additionally, important training-related topics for parents and professionals relevant to working with and growing the knowledge base of parents and caregivers are explored. This includes identifying training needs, primary prevention efforts, asynchronous learning initiatives, virtual or in-person training, digital training tools, and Project ECHO® opportunities. Furthermore, efforts toward collating these resources for greater accessibility and awareness are reviewed and refined.
