Overview
Autism therapy and services in Fort Worth
Two BCBAs who met while building a special-needs ministry program turned that partnership into a Fort Worth ABA practice in 2021, later adding a third co-owner and a second campus. Families here can get center-based, home-based, community-based, or school-based ABA therapy, and the clinic also runs its own speech, occupational, and music therapy services so a child's care team works from one building instead of several offices.
Best for
A good match for families raising a child from about age 2 into their early twenties who'd rather have ABA, speech, and OT coordinated at a single practice than juggled among separate providers.
Their approach
Every plan grows out of an individual assessment, and BCBAs stay closely involved by training and overseeing the RBTs who run day-to-day sessions; parents are expected to attend regular training so new skills carry over at home.
What to expect
Getting started means a tour, then insurance and paperwork to land a spot on the waitlist, followed by a roughly two-hour assessment before sessions begin; the wait itself shifts depending on the child's age and needs.
