regions, an ASD State Coordinator, the Nebraska Department of Education and the
University of Nebraska System, which provides consultation regarding training on
autism. The ASD Network is funded by IDEA Part B Set-'Aside Funds from
NDE.

gaining knowledge and expertise in serving students with ASD, thus building the
capacity of local school districts in providing a free, appropriate public
education based on each student's needs.
School districts may request

verification, IFSP and IEP development and in planning appropriate services for
