Overview
ABA Therapy for autism in Dallas
Founded and run by a doctoral-level BCBA, this small Dallas practice delivers ABA therapy for children and young adults from age 2 through 22 across three settings: a Preston Hollow clinic, private homes, and local school campuses. Programs range from play-based early learning (starting at age 2) to school-readiness cohorts for K–3, with in-home and school support extending through age 22. The team stays deliberately small so every child and family gets individualized attention, and the practice has longstanding partnerships with a number of Dallas private schools and preschools.
Best for
Families in Dallas who want a relationship-focused, clinician-owned ABA provider with naturalistic methods and strong school collaboration — a diagnosis is not required to enroll.
Their approach
Sessions are built around naturalistic, play-based activities for younger children and real-life routines for older kids, drawing on 15-plus years of compassionate ABA practice pioneered by founder Dr. Amy Foxman. Progress is tracked with data at every step, and the team works closely with parents and teachers as active partners rather than passive observers.
What to expect
Families reach the practice by phone at (214) 802-4460 or by email at info@abilityaba.com; insurance is accepted for children with an autism diagnosis through BCBS Texas, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, and Magellan, though no Medicaid plans are in-network.
