Autism Action Partnership Autism Action Partnership creates programs to fill critical gaps in Nebraska's autism community.

Gail Werner-Robertson and Scott Robertson, the founders of Autism Action Partnership (AAP), laid the groundwork for Autism Action Partnership in 2000 when they began the GWR Sunshine Foundation. As the parents of two sons diagnosed with autism, they personally experienced the constant challenges and frustrations associated with finding adequate, cost effective treatment services, medical expertise, and basic educational support for their children. Determined that other Nebraska families would not have to endure the same struggles, Gail and Scott began their work to provide support to individuals with autism and their families across the state. Renamed Autism Action Partnership upon becoming a public not-for-profit foundation in 2008, AAP has taken major strides to positively impact the landscape of support available for individuals with autism in Nebraska. Since its inception, AAP has partnered with various autism service providers to increase diagnosis accuracy, improve behavioral treatment services, begin pilot projects designed to develop critical social skills therapies in schools, and to provide recreation therapy, family respite, and scholarships for individuals with autism to receive the services and treatments so desperately needed.

💼 Everyone brings something different to the workplace!

Some people love working with customers, while others prefer working behind the scenes. And that's okay!

Through PWS, we have participants who are doing great work in roles like microfilm scanning, where attention to detail, focus, and consistency are important. These are tasks that might not appeal to everyone, but they're a great fit for others!

This National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), we're celebrating the different strengths, skills, and interests that people bring to the workforce and the importance of finding a job that's the right fit! 👏
