NevadaNevada program coordinates services for children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders
Nevada’s Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Treatment Assistance Program coordinates services for children through age 13 and may offer treatment planning and family guidance when money is available.
What it does
Nevada’s Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Treatment Assistance Program provides and coordinates services for children through age 13. The state’s Autism Treatment Assistance Program runs it.
When money is available, the program may help plan children’s treatment, guide parents or guardians, and connect families with public treatment services. This help is not guaranteed.
Argument forCoordinating care and helping families find public treatment services when money allows could make it easier for children to get help.
Argument againstBecause treatment planning and parent guidance depend on available money, families could face uncertainty about which help they can receive.
More detail
The Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Treatment Assistance Program provides and coordinates services for eligible children.

The Autism Treatment Assistance Program must administer this program within Nevada’s Aging and Disability Services Division. The law takes effect upon passage and approval.
The program may plan treatment, guide parents and guardians, and help families find public treatment services. This help covers eligible children through age 13 and their parents or guardians.

The program may also set an application process, assess children to track treatment progress, and promote cost-effective treatments proven to improve care.
