Interdisciplinary Team Collaboration
Autism & Neurodevelopment Research
NvCAN collaborates with professionals and organizations across Nevada– including UCAN, NvLEND, UNR, NEIS, and school districts statewide– to strengthen autism and neurodevelopmental care. We provide training, mentorship, and scholarships to grow the workforce, while helping families access assessments, supplies, and enrichment opportunities. From supporting school-based providers to reducing wait times and improving culturally responsive care, we bridge gaps in services and systems. Our goal is to create a more inclusive, coordinated network of support for neurodivergent individuals and the people who care for them.
