Overview
Autism therapy and services in Arlington
Families in North Mansfield and the surrounding Arlington neighborhoods have a BCBA-supervised ABA option at 8131 Matlock Rd, Building B — part of the Action Behavior Centers network across Tarrant County and greater Dallas-Fort Worth. Kids ages 18 months to 8 years attend sessions in the center, where group rooms, a quiet reading nook, craft space, and indoor play areas give therapy room to look and feel different from a clinic. At-home visits extend up to age 13, and the same location runs no-cost autism evaluations, including the ADOS-2, for children 18 months to 6 years old. Because ABC operates multiple sites across DFW, a family that moves or needs a backup slot usually isn't starting from scratch.
Best for
Arlington-area parents who want a BCBA-directed ABA program that can also handle a formal autism evaluation in-house, with wide insurance acceptance to match.
Their approach
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst writes the treatment plan and oversees the RBTs running daily sessions, and twice a month a BCBA meets with caregivers directly through Family Guidance to pass along strategies for home.
What to expect
Call (682) 841-6914 to set up a tour; the center keeps standard weekday hours, 8am to 5pm, and appointments are recommended. More than 120 insurance plans are accepted, though Medicaid isn't currently accepted anywhere in Texas, and staff can walk families through benefit verification and financial assistance.
