Overview

Autism therapy and services in Allen

With clinics in Allen and Mansfield, this North Texas practice brings ABA, occupational, physical, speech, and counseling services together under one roof — a model its founders built deliberately so families wouldn't have to drive to four separate offices. Kate and Joe Lundgren opened the Allen location in 2013 after navigating autism diagnoses for both of their sons; the Mansfield clinic followed in 2017. The practice works with clients from infancy through adulthood, with particular depth in sensory processing, autism spectrum disorders, and developmental delays.

Best for

DFW families who want coordinated, multi-discipline care — ABA, OT, PT, and speech all in one building — particularly those closer to Allen or Mansfield.

Their approach

Therapists across all five disciplines consult daily and co-treat when it helps, so changes in one area ripple through the whole plan quickly. Speech sessions happen in open sensory gyms rather than small clinic rooms, and the practice's 'Flexibility Model' specifically targets the transition and routine challenges common in autism.

What to expect

The process starts with a comprehensive evaluation before any treatment plan is written; office coordinators at each location handle insurance questions. CEPT is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, will file with most other carriers, and accepts traditional Medicaid for OT and Speech at both sites.
