As a teacher to student's with autism I am always on the lookout for events and resources to share with my student's families.
Here are a few of the places that families can go to for information, services and support for children on the Autism spectrum.
Thank you to reader McCall for sharing FEAT of Southern NV. She shared that FEAT 'has a regular list of events geared toward kids on the spectrum & their families. They are currently getting ready for the biggest of the year- The A Games. Sport Social is also an incredible resource." Sport Social uses sports and ABA methods to teach children on the spectrum how to play sports and use sports equipment.
The Torino Foundation offers two summer camps focused on ASD kids.
Child Find Project is CCSD's program that identifies and evaluates a child's educational needs. Parents may request an appointment or may be referred once their child turns 3 years old.
Brain Solutions works with the belief that neuroplasticity allows for changes to the brain without medication.
Nevada PEP offers families support by connecting them with resources. These include educational advocates that assist with the IEP process to referrals for home services.
RAD, Real Autism Difference's mission is to make a positive impact in the lives of individuals and families with autism every day.
Patterns Behavioral Services provides 1 to 1 services, social groups, IEP support/educational consulting, staff training by BCBA supervised RBTs.
