Happy Hearts LV

Happy Hearts LV is an ABA therapy center on W Sahara Ave in Las Vegas for children ages 2 to 17 who have a medical diagnosis of autism, an intellectual disability or another developmental disability. It also has a location in Pahrump.

The center calls its style social ABA. Therapists work on social, communication and repetitive behaviors, and parents take part through parent training so the same approach carries over at home. Care comes in a focused level of 10 to 20 hours a week and a fuller level of 15 to 30 hours a week, so ask which level fits your child before you plan the family schedule around it.

Speech and occupational therapy come through partner providers rather than Happy Hearts staff. Chit Chat Speech Therapy handles speech, and Helping Hands OT sees kids at the Las Vegas location three times a week. Reach out to each provider directly to set those up.

For insurance, Happy Hearts takes Aetna and NV Medicaid, plus both commercial and Medicaid plans from Molina, Anthem/BCBS and Silver Summit. Some of the behavior technicians speak Spanish as well as English, which is worth asking about if your family prefers it.
