Autism Action Partnership

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.

Thank you Town and Country Animal Rescue for attending our Autism in the Workplace Training and for the incredible work you do for both people and animals in our community! 🐾

We love seeing organizations take steps toward creating more welcoming and inclusive spaces for everyone!

What an amazing experience!! 🥰

Our management staff recently had the incredible opportunity to attend an Autism in the Workplace Training hosted by the Autism Action Partnership 💙

You may not realize it, but so much of the heart behind this rescue comes from people in the neurodivergent community. The love, patience, focus, and connection these staff members and volunteers bring to the animals in our care is something truly special to witness.

Animals have a way of meeting people exactly where they are. No expectations, no judgment, just comfort, trust, and unconditional love. We see every day just how powerful that bond can be. 🥹

This rescue is about creating a safe place for those who need it most (both people and pets alike) and we are so grateful for the opportunity to learn more ways to ensure all feel welcome and supported here. 💕🐾💕🐾
