Center for Autism and Related Disorders

The Center for Autism and Related Disorders offers therapy and behavioral support services for children and teens at 9089 S Pecos Rd Suite 3600 in Henderson. Age groups are described as toddlers, children, and teens, and the overall listed range runs from age 2 through 18.

Core services listed are Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, social skills training, early intervention programs, and behavioral support services. ABA is typically the centerpiece of autism treatment programs, and pairing it here with speech and occupational therapy suggests a fairly comprehensive treatment model rather than a single narrow service.

The facility includes therapy rooms and a sensory-friendly environment, per the listed amenities. The listing also marks the center as special needs friendly with an extensive set of accommodations: autism-friendly recreation, speech therapy, occupational therapy, behavioral therapy/ABA, early intervention for ages 0-5, autism early intervention, developmental delay programs, sensory processing therapy, sensory-friendly programs, ADHD support, emotional and behavioral support, and general therapy services.

Hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, with Saturday hours of 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and the center closed on Sunday. It operates year-round. Language spoken is listed as English.

Price range is marked as $$$, the higher end of the directory's pricing scale, though an exact dollar figure is not listed. Autism therapy services, particularly ABA, are often billed through insurance, so families should ask directly about coverage and out-of-pocket costs. Call (702) 680-1526 with questions about intake, evaluations, or insurance. The center's website is centerforautism.com.

Given the Saturday hours in addition to a full weekday schedule, families juggling school and other commitments during the week have at least some weekend flexibility for scheduling sessions, which is worth asking about directly when setting up an intake appointment.

The Henderson location places it within reach of families across the southeast valley, and the combination of ABA, speech, and occupational therapy under one roof means a child would not necessarily need to be driven to separate providers for each of those services during the week.
