Overview
Autism therapy and services in Allen
A family-founded practice in Allen has combined occupational, physical, and speech therapy under one roof since 2011, when longtime pediatric OT Jill Christiansen set out to build the kind of clinic she'd want for her own kids. Themed treatment rooms and sensory equipment give the space a playful feel, and the team has worked with children carrying autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, sensory processing differences, and other diagnoses. Most families come from Allen, McKinney, and Lovejoy ISD, though some drive in from Greenville and Denison.
Best for
Best fit for families near Allen, McKinney, or Lovejoy ISD who want one clinic coordinating OT, PT, and speech therapy for a child with autism, sensory needs, or a developmental delay.
Their approach
Sessions lean on play and a themed, sensory-rich environment, with therapists working as a coordinated team and building custom home programs to carry progress outside the clinic.
What to expect
New clients typically start with a screening or full evaluation, followed by treatment planning, parent consultations, and options like handwriting or typing clinics as needs arise. The office lists Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicaid, Amerigroup, Parkland, and CHIP as accepted insurance, and says it will work with families even when a plan isn't in network.
