Overview
Autism therapy and services in Frisco
A dedicated ABA therapy center on Smotherman Rd in Frisco's Collin County serves children with autism across the Dallas–Fort Worth corridor. The multisensory space—equipped with therapy rooms, interactive play zones, reading nooks, and hands-on craft areas—is built around the goal of helping kids grow communication, independence, and social skills. In-center therapy runs from 18 months to age 8, with at-home sessions extending to age 13.
Best for
Frisco and DFW families who want BCBA-supervised, center-based ABA for young children, with the flexibility to continue at-home services as kids grow.
Their approach
BCBAs design individualized treatment goals and oversee every session, while RBTs deliver the direct therapy work. Twice-monthly Family Guidance meetings—led by a BCBA—put practical strategies directly in caregivers' hands for use both at the center and in everyday home routines.
What to expect
An appointment is recommended; the center is open weekdays from 8am to 5pm. The practice works with most major insurance plans and lists more than 120 in-network payers on their website, including UMR, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Optum, Ambetter, and others.
