ATAP is a state funded program designed for children ages 18 months to 19 years that have been diagnosed with Autism. Nevada’s Autism Treatment Assistance Program (ATAP) was created to assist parents and caregivers with the expensive cost of providing Autism-specific treatments to their child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ATAP offers a variety of plan types for the funding of Applied Behaviors Analysis therapy and  ongoing treatment development, supervision and a limited amount of weekly intervention hours based on a child’s individual treatment plan, age, and family income. ATAP can also assist with co-pays and individual deductibles for therapy when the family cannot access their insurance due to the excessive cost of treatment. ATAP also offers a therapeutic plan that provides funding for Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy and/or Physical Therapy when other resources do not provide coverage. ATAP is an assistance program and the monthly allotment is intended to help parents pay for treatment. It is understood that the funding provided by ATAP will not pay for all the recommended hours of treatment, however it is our hope that parents can help to fund additional hours of treatment. ATAP recognizes not all parents can afford to do so.
