Overview
Autism therapy and services in Austin
Since 2010, this northwest Austin practice has paired board certified behavior analysts with speech-language pathologists under one roof, built by an SLP-BCBA pair who started it themselves. Early Start Denver Model play routines form the backbone of care for toddlers and young children on the autism spectrum or with communication delays. Sessions blend one-on-one and group ABA work with speech therapy folded into the same day.
Best for
A good fit for parents of children roughly 12 months to 8 years old who want ABA and speech therapy coordinated together rather than run as separate services.
Their approach
Clinicians lean on ESDM's naturalistic, play-first method, building skills through everyday routines and social interaction instead of tabletop drills, while BCBAs and SLPs sync up on each child's plan and parents get dedicated coaching sessions.
What to expect
A free screening and building tour comes first, after which most kids split their day between individual sessions and a peer social group; Friday home visits carry lessons into the family's own space, and the clinic reports open enrollment with no waitlist.
