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

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.
