Special Needs and Early Intervention - First 5 Nevada

First 5 Nevada offers early intervention services for children ages 0 to 5 with developmental delays or special needs. Services listed include developmental evaluations, assessments, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, nutrition services, nursing services, psychological services, social work services, and a statewide resource directory that connects families to additional support beyond this office.

The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and closed Saturday and Sunday. It operates year round, which fits the nature of early intervention work, since developmental needs do not follow a school calendar. Amenities listed include family resources and case management, meaning families are not simply referred out after an evaluation but supported through a case manager as they navigate next steps.

The organization is special needs friendly, with accommodations and focus areas that include early intervention, developmental delay programs, autism early intervention, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, behavioral therapy and ABA, mental health counseling, and sensory processing therapy. Services are offered in English and Spanish, which matters for a program meant to be a first point of contact for many families across the state.

First 5 Nevada is located at 1161 South Valley View Boulevard in the 89102 zip code in Las Vegas. The listing shows this program as Free, consistent with its role as a public early intervention service rather than a private therapy practice. The listing does not include a phone number, so families should start with the program's website, which describes eligibility and the referral process for the 0 to 5 age range. For parents who suspect a developmental delay in a young child but are not sure where to start, this office functions as an entry point into evaluation and services, including connections to the statewide resource directory for families whose needs go beyond what this location provides directly.
