Shining Star Community Services

Shining Star Community Services, at 4580 S Eastern Ave UNIT 33 in Las Vegas, 89119, provides special needs support services for children and young adults ages 1 to 18, split into 1-3, 4-12, and 13-18 brackets. Its core offerings are Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy, Respite Services, Family Training, Community Integration, and a Summer Program.

The organization's weekly schedule is Tuesday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with Monday, Saturday, and Sunday closed, year round. That four-day week is worth noting for families who might assume standard Monday-through-Friday hours, since Monday is not an operating day here.

Shining Star is listed as special needs friendly with an extensive set of accommodations: Applied Behavior Analysis, Respite Care Services, Developmental Delay Programs, Autism Early Intervention, Behavioral Therapy/ABA, Autism-Friendly Recreation, Inclusive Programs, Sensory-Friendly Programs, Emotional/Behavioral Support, Early Intervention for ages 0-5, Adaptive Recreation, Day Respite Programs, and Special Needs General support. Taken together, this points to a provider built specifically around ABA therapy and family respite rather than a general recreation program that happens to be accessible.

No price range, price detail, or minimum price is listed, and ABA therapy in particular is typically billed through insurance or a state program rather than an out-of-pocket flat rate, so families should call (702) 882-7827 to ask how billing works before scheduling an intake. The website at shiningstarlv.com is the other place to look for intake forms or referral requirements.

Because Respite Services and Family Training are both listed alongside the therapy and community integration programs, this organization appears to support the whole family unit, not just the child receiving services. Parents managing a demanding care schedule for a child with autism or another developmental need may find the respite and family training pieces useful even outside of the ABA therapy sessions themselves. The Summer Program option also gives families a structured option during school breaks rather than needing to find separate summer care.
