The Autism Treatment Assistance Program (ATAP) assists
parents and caregivers of children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by
providing funding for autism treatments.
ATAP provides funding to pay for autism treatments for
Nevada residents ages 19 and under who have been diagnosed with an ASD by a
physician, psychologist, child/adolescent psychiatrist, pediatric neurologist
or other qualified professional. Funding levels can vary based on a child’s
age, family income and treatment plan.
ATAP provides funding for research-supported,
evidence-based treatments, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Verbal
Behavior (VB) and Pivotal Response Training (PRT). Covered treatment-related
services and supports include program training, development, daily intervention
hours, and essential materials. ATAP may also fund speech, occupational and
physical therapies when there are no other resources to cover them.
