By capitalizing on the tested hub-and-spoke approach of the ECHO model, cohorts of providers received free evidence-based consulting services from subject matter experts in the field of AAC. The project employed distance technologies to reach professionals and reduce barriers to knowledge, increasing the capacity for AAC services throughout the region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Funding
