The Early Childhood Holistic Outcomes (ECHO) Framework is a functional outcome measurement and service model, adapted from the U.S. National Child Outcomes Measurement System. ECHO was successfully piloted in 4 Early Intervention (EI) centres leading to national implementation across 17 other EI centres in Singapore. Guided by implementation science principles, ECHO implementation is led by a Technical Assistance (TA) team to enhance the professional practice of EI professionals, Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) and Social Workers (SWs) from participating EI centres. This symposium highlights findings from three papers. Paper 1 reflects key milestones with focus on implementation methodology and lessons for future implementation. Paper 2 shares perspectives on the facilitators and barriers to implementation from ten focus group discussions with ECHO TA and EI professionals (n=37). Paper 3 shares findings from fidelity checklists used to monitor adherence to processes and a survey to gather feedback on implementation confidence, usability and manageability.
