Hi fellow Arizona Chapter NAPNAP members,  

Please see attached for a letter regarding the support for nurse practitioners to diagnose and manage autism in the state of Arizona. We appreciate any feedback/suggestions within the next week. 

The University of Arizona has a three-semester program for NPs to obtain certification for this. If interested in the program, please see the attached UA College of Nursing ASD Certificate Program Overview. 

Happy Sunday, stay safe our amazing frontline providers.
