Addressing a Need for Nevada Families
Our Collaborative Approach
In over 20 years of work, NvCAN collective members have provided affordable neurodevelopment care to hundreds of patients coming from across Northern Nevada, including rural counties. In addition, NvCAN collaborators have helped train over 200 interdisciplinary professionals in standardized autism assessments and provided financial support for professionals from diverse clinical backgrounds who serve individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders.
