We anticipate the training after that to be January 2024. If you would like to be put on the list of people interested in learning when the next training date is decided, please email Kate Orville, Training Coordinator at orville@uw.edu .

Purpose of the COE Training

To increase the number of qualified clinicians (COEs) across Washington State who can appropriately diagnose children and youth with autism who have Medicaid insurance.

Help children and families access needed services as appropriate, including writing a Medicaid/Apple Health prescription for Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). COE required for Managed Care Organization (MCO) prescription approval.

Who is Eligible to Become a COE

The HCA determines which primary care and other clinicians can become COEs. Currently the list includes medical physicians working in primary care, specialty physicians, clinical psychologists, ARNPs and pediatric naturopaths. Physician Assistants (PA-C) whose supervising clinician is a COE are eligible as of Jan 1, 2023.

As of Oct 17, 2019 , an autism diagnosis from a COE provider (except for naturopath physicians and PA-Cs) can also be used by a family for Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) eligibility.

What the Training Covers

Evaluation and diagnosis of children exhibiting signs and symptoms of autism spectrum disorder and determining which evidence –based treatments, including ABA, are likely to be helpful for individual children

Community and state resources for children and youth with autism and their families

The lived experience of autism from autistics and family members- what they would like you as a health care professional to know

How to write an approved prescription for ABA treatment

Billing

Paperwork and process to complete to become a HCA recognized COE after the training

Join us for a free and enlightening virtual session designed to enhance your practice and enrich the lives of the families you serve. This opportunity will empower you with valuable insights into developmental resources while fostering stronger connections with your local community.

Flyer

Target Audience: Health care providers in Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, and Whatcom Counties but open to all. We invite other child health/early learning providers to attend and listen to what conversations look like between families and their health care providers, hear from a medical provider who is using different child development tools, and connect with other partners.

What to Expect:

Explore Developmental Resources: Discover innovative tools and resources you can use in your practice to promote healthy dialogue with families about child development.

Local County Resources: Connect with your community on a deeper level by delving into the resources available within Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom. Strengthen your network and better serve families by understanding the local support landscape.

Attendees from counties outside of the NW Early Learning Region will not have the benefit of the breakout sessions about local child development resources with people in the counties where they work, but there will be a more general discussion in the main zoom room during the breakout time.

Provider Insights: Learn from a medical provider who has successfully integrated many of these tools into their practice. Gain real-world perspectives, practical tips and success stories.
