What We Do

Real help, at every stage.

Our programs are free to Las Vegas families. Start with one, use them all, or call us if you're not sure where you are. We'll help you figure it out.

01

Evaluation navigation

Getting a diagnosis in Las Vegas can take months. We help you understand the process, find the right provider, and make every wait count.

What this looks like

  • ·Referrals to local developmental pediatricians, psychologists, and neurodevelopmental clinics
  • ·Help preparing for the evaluation — what to document, what questions to ask
  • ·Guidance on Early Intervention (Nevada Early Intervention Services) for children under 3
  • ·Second-opinion support when results don't feel right
02

Insurance guidance

Nevada has an autism insurance mandate, but most families still hit walls. We help you break through them.

What this looks like

  • ·Understanding Nevada's autism mandate and what your plan must cover
  • ·Medicaid vs. private insurance — which actually works better for your situation
  • ·Step-by-step help appealing ABA or therapy denials
  • ·Translating insurance letters, EOBs, and benefit language into plain English
03

ABA therapy education

ABA is often the first therapy recommended — and also the most misunderstood. We help you become an informed, empowered decision-maker.

What this looks like

  • ·What modern, play-based, assent-focused ABA actually looks like today
  • ·Red flags to watch for (compliance-based models, high hours without justification)
  • ·Questions to ask a BCBA before signing on with a provider
  • ·Direct referrals to local ABA providers, evaluators, and therapists we know and trust
  • ·Overview of complementary therapies: speech, OT, and developmental approaches
04

Premium grant program (limited & case-by-case)

Our grant program is intentionally narrow. It's not always available, funding is limited, and every family is reviewed case-by-case — but for the right situations it can be life-changing.

What this looks like

  • ·Designed specifically to help qualifying families leave a low-support ABA company for one we believe offers stronger, more individualized care
  • ·Can also help cover the cost of diagnostic testing with select partner providers when an evaluation is the barrier to care
  • ·Premium assistance applies only to individual / marketplace (Healthcare.gov) plans — not employer or Medicaid plans
  • ·Available to qualifying Las Vegas families at or below 400% of the federal poverty level
  • ·Subject to available funding and reviewed case-by-case — approval is never guaranteed
  • ·Paired with our insurance guidance team to confirm the new plan supports the ABA provider you're switching to
FAQ

Common questions about our services

Quick answers about eligibility, costs, timelines, and how our programs actually work.

Are your services really free?

Yes. All of our navigation, guidance, and education services are free to Las Vegas families. We're a 501(c)(3) non-profit funded by donations and grants. The premium grant program also provides direct financial assistance at no cost.

Do I need a diagnosis to work with you?

No. Many families reach out before an evaluation — that's often when our help matters most. We can guide you through getting evaluated, starting Early Intervention, and preparing for what comes next.

Who qualifies for the premium grant program?

The grant is limited and reviewed case-by-case — it's not available to every family that asks. Typical recipients are Las Vegas families at or below 400% of the federal poverty level, whose child has an autism diagnosis (or is actively being evaluated), who currently have an individual / marketplace insurance plan (or are switching to one), and who are moving from a low-support ABA provider to one with stronger, more individualized care. Approval also depends on current funding.

What does the premium grant actually cover?

Two narrow things, in qualifying cases only: (1) offsetting the monthly premium of an individual / marketplace (Healthcare.gov) health plan when changing plans is what allows your child to leave a low-support ABA company for a better-supported one, and (2) helping cover the cost of diagnostic testing with select partner providers when an evaluation is the barrier to care. We don't cover employer plans, Medicaid premiums, copays, or deductibles. Our insurance guidance team can help with those conversations separately.

Can you help if my insurance denied ABA?

Yes. Denials are common and very often reversed on appeal. We'll help you request the denial letter, identify the real reason (medical necessity language, network issues, hour caps), draft the appeal, and if needed file a complaint with the Nevada Division of Insurance.

Do you serve families outside Las Vegas?

Not at this time. We currently focus all of our capacity on Las Vegas families so we can stay deeply connected to local clinics, providers, and schools. If you're outside the Las Vegas area, we're happy to point you to statewide and national resources on our Resources page.

How do I get started?

The easiest first step is a free 30-minute intake call. You tell us where you are, we ask a few questions, and together we map out a plan. No obligation, no judgment. Use the contact form or call us directly.

Not sure which service fits?
