We are pleased to announce that the 3rd edition of the UNLV CASD Autism Spectrum Resource Guide is now available!

This year we were able to print 2,000 hard copies of the guide, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors: FEAT of Southern Nevada, Peoples Autism, and the Torino Foundation.

A PDF copy of the guide is available to all members of our community.

If you or your organization would like copies of the guide, please contact us at 702-895-5836 or email us at autism1@unlv.nevada.edu.
