Overview
ABA Therapy for autism in Irving
Founded in 2003, this Irving-based nonprofit runs BCBA-supervised ABA therapy for kids from birth through age 12 with autism and other developmental disabilities. Programs range from an intensive center-based intervention to a lower-intensity naturalistic language option (BLIP), plus social skills groups, IEP consultation, and structured parent training. Families outside DFW — including international families — can access remote consultation through the Woodallkids Outreach arm. Medicaid and private insurance are accepted for the intensive ABA program.
Best for
Families in the Irving or broader DFW area whose child (birth–12) needs BCBA-led ABA therapy covered by Medicaid or insurance, or who want structured parent coaching built into treatment.
Their approach
Every treatment plan is individualized and built around positive reinforcement targeting behavioral, cognitive, and social development — with parents trained alongside their child so they can run effective home programs. BLIP, the foundation's naturalistic-teaching option, gives families a $23/hour private-pay path when insurance-covered intensive ABA isn't the right fit.
What to expect
Start by downloading the intake packet from the website; the team helps with insurance authorization for the intensive ABA program. BLIP is private pay only and not billable to insurance, while intensive services are covered under Medicaid and accepted commercial plans.
