Overview
ABA Therapy for autism in Dallas
Children ages 18 months to 14 years can receive ABA therapy at this Apara center on Greenville Avenue near the 75 expressway in Dallas (Richardson area). What sets this location apart is an on-site partnership with MOST/DFW, a speech and occupational therapy clinic, so families can access coordinated ABA, speech, and OT services under one roof. BCBAs develop individualized plans, RBTs deliver 1-to-1 sessions, and therapy hours run 15 to 40 hours per week based on each child's initial assessment. Caregiver training is included, and Medicaid along with most major commercial insurers are accepted.
Best for
Families of young children through early adolescence (18 months to 14) who want ABA paired with easy access to speech and OT through the co-located MOST/DFW partnership — particularly useful if multiple therapies are needed at once.
Their approach
Treatment plans are BCBA-designed and continuously updated through session-by-session data collection, with RBTs handling direct 1-to-1 work in the center. Caregiver training is woven throughout, giving parents the same strategies their child's team uses so skills carry over at home and in the community.
What to expect
Start by filling out the online intake form or calling the Richardson line; the team handles insurance verification as part of onboarding so families know their coverage before committing. Recommended weekly hours (15–40) come out of an initial clinical assessment, and center-based, in-home, and telehealth formats are all available.
