Local Resources
For individuals with autism and their families
Finding the help that your child needs should not be difficult.
Over the past few years, we have slowly updated and added to a resource list first published by The Autism Society of Acadiana. You will find multiple types of resources here, such as other ABA clinics in the area, Pediatricians, other types of therapy (Speech, Feeding, O.T.), as well as medical professionals who diagnose for autism. This list will be updated often. If you see any information that is incorrect or needs to be updated, please email us: office@ldaba.com. Please click on the information button next to each clinic name for more information, such as age restrictions, current wait times, and accepted insurances. For a print-friendly version, please click here.
