Overview
Autism therapy and services in Austin
A locally owned practice operating since 2012, this North and Central Austin provider pairs ABA therapy with speech-language services and inclusive preschool and kindergarten classrooms for kids with autism and other developmental delays. Board-certified behavior analysts and ASHA-certified speech-language pathologists design the individualized, play-based plans, and the team has expanded beyond Austin to offer in-home ABA across the Dallas-Fort Worth metro.
Best for
A good fit for Austin-area families (or DFW households wanting in-home ABA) who want speech and behavior therapy woven into a play-first, inclusive classroom setting rather than kept separate.
Their approach
Clinicians lean on natural-environment teaching, video modeling, and functional communication training rather than a one-size-fits-all curriculum, with BCBAs writing each child's plan and parents invited to sit in on sessions and receive hands-on coaching.
What to expect
Families can choose center-based, in-home, community, or school-based sessions on a half-day, full-day, or after-school schedule, starting with a phone consultation at (512) 900-1425 to map out goals before scheduling begins.
