Best for
Frisco-area families who want a large, established ABA provider that also handles diagnosis and offers an after-school social group — all under one roof with broad insurance coverage.
Their approach
Each child's program is designed around their specific goals and overseen by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, with continuous data tracking so the plan can shift as the child progresses. The after-school Beyond the Bell program uses ABA principles in small group settings to give school-aged kids a structured place to practice social skills in real time.
What to expect
Reach the intake team by phone at (855) 782-7822 or email admissions@bi-aba.com to begin enrollment; the care team is put in place before the child's first session so there's no gap at the start. Diagnostic evaluations are offered both in-person and virtually for children under 10.
