• Rehabilitation - Physical, Occupational, Speech/Communication Therapies

• Community Outreach

We serve all ages and work as a team encouraging clients and family participation through weekly interdisciplinary staffing, family conferences, and close communication with physicians and referral agencies.   Our goal is to provide the highest quality of life by enhancing independence which allows individuals to enter or remain an active part of home, family and community.

Individual programs can be contacted for general information, however all referrals must be processed through the central referral line at (702) 486-9200. Each individual program has a maximum limit to the number of children that they can receive at a given time due to budget allocations. Therefore, a family’s option to choose a specific program is dependent upon current availability. When a child has been assigned to a program, the family and child must remain with that program. If a child’s case is closed and then re-opened, then it is opened back with the previous program provider. If families have concerns about services or their procedural safeguards, then they are encouraged to review the Parent Rights Handbook or contact the Part C office.
