Nevada Autism Center

Nevada Autism Center is an ABA therapy clinic on West Sahara Avenue in Las Vegas, and its full-time clinic kids are usually 18 months to 6 years old. Children ages 6-12 more often come after school. Services take place in the clinic, and the center describes itself as being in the Summerlin area.

The model is center-based. The center says a behavior analyst assesses each child and writes the plan, and a behavior technician then works one-on-one with the child under that analyst's supervision. Goals can cover communication, social skills, daily living routines and school readiness, and parents get coaching so skills carry over at home. For a child who is not talking yet, the analyst can bring in AAC devices or PECS.

Full-time clinic kids typically need up to 40 hours per week, so this is a big schedule commitment. An Autism diagnosis is required first, since most insurance carriers demand one. If insurance stops paying, the family owes the bill, so ask how many hours your plan covers before you start. Full-time spots are limited and go in order.

Current clients may get access to summer programs on social skills and school readiness, which can help over the long CCSD summer break. Staff speak Spanish, and enrollment starts with an online form.
