    Where to begin

    How Can We Help Your Child?

    Choose what sounds most like your family right now. We'll point you toward the information that tends to be most useful next.

    Our approach

    Communication can look different for every child.

    Communication isn't defined by how a child speaks. Our job is to understand how your child communicates today and help expand the ways they can connect, participate, advocate and be understood.

    Discover Our Approach

    Specialty services

    Therapy built around how your child learns

    Every service is delivered by licensed clinicians with specialty experience in pediatric neurodevelopment.

    Speech & Language Therapy

    Evaluation and intervention for understanding, expression, speech sound production and social communication.

    AAC Evaluations & Intervention

    Feature-matched device and system trials, robust vocabulary access, and communication partner training.

    Autism Communication Support

    Neuroaffirming support focused on connection, self-advocacy and participation — not compliance.

    Gestalt Language Processing

    Support for children who learn language in chunks, moving toward flexible, self-generated language.

    Occupational Therapy & Sensory Regulation

    Motor skills, daily routines and regulation strategies built around your child's real environments.

    Feeding Support

    Pressure-free, autonomy-respecting approaches to expanding safe and comfortable mealtimes.

    ADHD & Executive Function Support

    Practical scaffolds for attention, initiation, planning, transitions and time management.

    Parent Coaching & Education

    Clinician guidance that fits everyday family life, so progress continues between sessions.

    Why families choose ABI

    Clinical depth with a human pace

    Specialty depth, not general coverage

    Autism, AAC and complex communication are our core focus areas rather than an add-on service line.

    Neuroaffirming by design

    We support the child in front of us — their communication, regulation and autonomy — rather than working toward a neurotypical performance.

    Families are partners

    Caregivers are the most consistent communication partners in a child's life, so coaching and carryover are built into care.

    Access across Nevada

    In-person care in Las Vegas and Reno, plus telehealth for families across the state.

    AAC at ABI

    Every child deserves a reliable way to be understood

    Augmentative and alternative communication is not a last resort and not a replacement for speech. For speaking, minimally speaking and nonspeaking children alike, AAC widens the range of ways a child can request, refuse, comment, joke, object and self-advocate.
