What’s available in Shreveport
Every setting is realistic here
Shreveport is itself a city of 180,000, which means centers, in-home routes, school collaboration and telehealth are all live options rather than theoretical ones. In a place this size the constraint is almost never whether a service exists — it's capacity at any given moment, and that's exactly what we check on the first call.

Shreveport has shrunk about 5% since the 2020 census — where population is falling, in-person provider coverage tends to thin out first, which is exactly when in-home and telehealth matter most.
Which rules apply to you
Shreveport spreads across 2 counties, and most of it sits in Caddo Parish. That matters more than it sounds: county lines can decide which offices, school district, and local Medicaid contacts you deal with, so it's worth confirming which county your address actually falls in.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Louisiana Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Louisiana, and Louisiana’s autism insurance law reaches private plans issued in the state. Your address changes which providers can reach you — it doesn’t change whether you’re covered.
