Mission Statement
The mission of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Center for Autism Spectrum
Disorders (UNLV CASD) is to
(1) Provide training in evidence-based practices to family members and
professionals
(2) Research best practices in interventions and assessment
(3) Actively engage community stakeholders
UNLV CASD is proud to be a member of the southern Nevada autism community.
The Mission of F.E.A.T.
Our mission is to provide information on treatment resources for families with
children diagnosed with autism, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and related
disorders. We provide support, encouragement, and guidance to parents and
create an opportunity for them to benefit from contact with other parents with
similar needs and concerns.
Purpose of our Resource guide:
This resource guide was designed to help parents identify and select services for
their children with an autism spectrum disorder. We have provided an overview
of the findings from the NPDC for Autism’s 2014 Report as a starting point for
making informed treatment choices based upon scientific evidence.
Disclaimer:
The UNLV Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders Resource Guide was
developed to provide information and does not recommend, endorse, guarantee,
or promote the service providers included in this guide.
Although we made a concerted effort to identify local resources, we recognize
that this list is not exhaustive.
If you would like to be listed in future editions of this resource guide, contact:

Acknowledgments:
We would like to express our gratitude to Families for Effective Autism Treatment (FEAT) for supporting
this project and believing in the importance of the resource guide for our community. Additionally,
thank you to all of the community members who provided their information and those individuals who
referred valuable resources to the CASD!

2 Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders
What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a range of developmental disabilities that
cause impairments in multiple areas of development and typically appear
within the first 3 years of life. ASD is the result of a complex neurological
disorder that affects brain function. The core areas of impairment include
Social Communication and Behavior.
Current DSM-5 criteria now merges previously independent diagnoses of
Autistic Disorder, Asperger’s Disorder, and Pervasive Developmental
Disorder – Not
Otherwise Specified, into a single subtype, Autism Spectrum
Disorder.
An individual’s severity along the autism spectrum is now described
according to the amount of required support, as opposed to differential
diagnoses such as Asperger’s Disorder.
Currently, 1 in 68 children will be diagnosed with ASD (CDC, 2016)
No two persons with ASD are alike; each has unique strengths and
weaknesses. All individuals with ASD exhibit different levels of social and
behavioral challenges.
Examples of Impairment
Social Communication Restrictive, Repetitive Behavior
• Lack of social- emotional • Repetitive or stereotyped
reciprocity movements and/or speech
• Difficulties using or understanding • Preoccupation with interest that
nonverbal cues such as gestures, is abnormally intense or focused
facial expressions, body language
• Inflexible adherence to routine
• Difficulties developing,
maintaining, and understanding • Hyper- or Hyporeactivity to
relationships sensory input, or unusual
interests in sensory aspects of
environment

Legislation that Impacts Individuals with ASD
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is the federal law that governs special education
programs.
Major components of the law are:
• Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)
• Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
• Appropriate Assessments
• Individualized Education Program
• Emphasizes the Role of the Parents
• Related Services
Autism is 1 of 14 disability categories which qualifies students to receive educational services.
IDEA is comprised of parts A, B, C, and D. Parts B and C govern the services of children with disabilities.
Part B of IDEA outlines the regulations that address the needs of children age 3-21 (school age children)
who have qualifying disabilities. Part C of IDEA outlines the regulations that address the needs of
children age 0-3 who have qualifying disabilities or who have a diagnostic condition that places them “at
risk� for future or substantial delay. Goals of Part C are to enhance the development of infants and
toddlers with disabilities thus minimizing potential for delay, and enhance the capacity of families to meet
the special needs of these children.
Part B Part C
• Children Age 3-21 • Children Age 0-3

• Disability must impede ability in the
educational setting.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is the federal anti-discriminatory law which governs
accommodations for students who have a disability but are not eligible for educational services under
IDEA. A child who has trouble learning may not be found eligible for special education services, but may
need accommodations to succeed in the educational setting. This law was designed to implement
regulations that will appropriately accommodate students’needs and conditions as adequately as the
needs of students without disabilities.

What is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) uses the science of learning to create socially significant behavior change. It is a
practical and adaptable approach to helping individuals learn new skills and manage challenging behaviors to live
happier and fuller lives. ABA works by identifying the environmental variables that affect behavior and changing
them to support that desired, target behaviors. It is based on many decades of research. It is used in educational,
therapeutic, community, family, and employment settings all over the world.
FAQs on ABA
Is ABA only for individuals with ASD?
No! The teaching and intervention strategies of ABA are effective with everyone. ABA is used in many fields,
including education, environmental sustainability, addictions, brain injury and stroke, organizational behavior
management, and many other areas.
Will ABA make my child behave like a robot?
The goal of ABA is help individuals learn new skills to lead happier, more fulfilling lives. The goal is not to teach
children to act like robots or to be overly dependent on adults.
Are all ABA programs the same?
No! ABA is a rich science with many options and focuses on customized supports. ABA programs can look
very different depending on who runs them and where the program is implemented. ABA for a 3 year old at
home will look very different from ABA for a 21 year old on the job. Even then, there is no single way to do
ABA with any child or in any particular setting. Input from families regarding their needs and values is critical
to making an ABA program successful.
Does ABA mean that it is all about bribes and punishment?
Definitely NOT! Bribes are things given to persuade someone to act illegally or dishonestly. ABA does not use
bribes! The ABA provider will design a plan that encourages new, appropriate behaviors to happen more and
discourages challenging behaviors by making them less rewarding or effective. We can reduce a challenging
behavior most successfully when we have a new, appropriate behavior to replace it.
How do I know ABA will be effective?
ABA is a data-driven science. That means that every aspect of the program is tracked and measured
objectively. Progress can take time, but every provider should be able to share on-going data on your child’s
progress. Ask to see the data. Ask them to explain all details. Ask them to explain what they are looking for,
when they know progress is happening, and how to tell if progress is not happening. Everyone in ABA loves to
talk about data!
