Collaboration to Support Autistic and Neurodivergent Learners

A collaboration between the Clark County School District (CCSD), UNLV College of Education, the Grant a Gift Autism Foundation – Ackerman Center, and Queens Club Inc. aims to improve support for autistic and neurodivergent students in Southern Nevada.

The partnership focuses on providing:

  • professional development for teachers

  • school-based services

  • easier access to clinical services

  • stronger family and community engagement.

A three-level training program will help educators and specialists create more inclusive, supportive classrooms. By combining educational, clinical, and community resources, this initiative seeks to enhance student success and build a sustainable model for inclusive education.
