NEON assists National Provider Organizations (NPOs) and their affiliated Local Provider Organizations (LPOs), State Intermediary Organizations (SIOs) and State Government Agencies (SGAs) in advancing competitive, integrated employment.
NASP was chosen as one of five state associations to receive free training and technical support through NEON.
