Title V - Development Statewide System for Assessment Referral and Education
Project Description:
The Nevada State Learn the Signs. Act Early (NvLTSAE) team is a NvLEND leadership project and was formed in September 2011. It has had two summits in February 2012 and February 2013. Primary outcomes established from the summits include: (1) children are identified earlier (reduce time between first concern and diagnosis), (2) individuals of all geographical locations have access to evidence-based, culturally competent, family centered services and care that assure optimal outcomes, and (3) professionals and families collaborate across disciplines, agencies, and a statewide system of care.NvLTSAE has two goals: 1) Address outcome one from the summit to identify children earlier and 2) continue to maintain a statewide, sustainable system for the early identification of children with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders by convening a second NvLTSAE summit of stakeholders.
