A gift from MGM Resorts International will help UNLV address the need for children to receive diagnoses and therapies for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The funding will aid the College of Education to develop new programs to boost the number of Board Certified Behavior Analysts who are qualified to help children with ASD and their families. Partnering with the Grant a Gift Autism Foundation - Ackerman Center, the UNLV/CSUN Preschool, UNLV’s CREW Disability Center, and telehealth services, these new programs will provide future practitioners with a broader base of experiences in a variety of community settings.
