Western Region
Nebraska ASD Network
1/3
The Nebraska ASD Network is a statewide plan for providing support to school districts and parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In the late 1990’s educators and parents requested the Nebraska Department of Education, Special Populations (NDE) take a lead role in assisting schools to develop knowledge and expertise in autism so that students age birth through 21 are provided appropriate services that meet their needs. An Ad Hoc Committee was appointed by the Special Education Advisory Council (SEAC) for the purpose of creating a State Plan for services to children with ASD. The State Plan was completed in 2000 and implementation began in spring 2002. The State ASD Plan divides our state into 5 regions. Each region has an ASD Director, ASD Coordinator, and ASD Team.
Contact your coordinator!
You may contact the Regional Coordinator in their area for consultation in planning for appropriate assessment and verification of ASD, for identifying appropriate goals for Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) or Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) and for selecting and implementing appropriate strategies and interventions for students with autism and related disorders. The Western Region of the Nebraska ASD Network is comprised of 25,000 square miles, and serves ESUs 13, 16 (West of Sutherland), and 17. The region extends from Valentine down to just west of North Platte and everything else to the west in Nebraska.
