For College Students

1 in 150 children have autism.
Nebraska has seen a 75% increase of students identified with autism in the past 5 years. There is a high demand for teachers of children with autism. We have a graduate training program in severe disabilities-autism. Learn more about our program.

For Parents

Do you know someone who is on the autism spectrum, or concerned they might be? There are many resources available for families.

This collaborative project was funded from 2008-2010 by a generous gift from the Autism Action Partnership (AAP) and the Barkley Memorial Center.

For Providers

Serving children with autism takes a team effort. Psychologists, SLPs, PTs, OTs, teachers, physicians, parents and many others can find information on our new multi-disciplinary assessment processes.
