Center for Autism and Related Disorders - Metairie — Fairfield Street

The official Butterfly Effects Louisiana page currently labels this center-based branch as Independence, LA, at 4201 N. I-10 Service Road West, Metairie, LA 70006; the existing listing name is retained as-is. The branch page describes full-day early intervention for ages 2-6, one-to-one learning pods, and group and social learning spaces. Its after-school copy uses conflicting age wording (5 and up in one program card and 6-12 in body text), so families should confirm eligibility. Butterfly Effects provider pages list in-home, in-center, in-school, and virtual care and name Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Tricare, and United Healthcare. Plan participation, authorization, and current branch availability should be confirmed. Call 888-880-9270 or use the contact form.
