Greater Las Vegas — Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, Spring Valley — has Cure 4 The Kids, the Grant a Gift/UNLV Ackerman autism center, and Nevada PEP, the state's parent center. The hard part is knowing which help is genuinely excellent and how to reach the free options first. This is Las Vegas's own directory, ranked by real credentials (ABPP, BHCOE, Orton-Gillingham accreditation, COPAA, board-certification) — never by reviews or who pays. Start with the free Nevada options, then the best evaluators, schools, therapists, doctors, and advocates near you. Then, if you want it, an expert reads your child's records and builds your plan.
