Overview
ABA Therapy for autism in Mesquite
Located off E Grubb Dr in Mesquite, this Action Behavior Centers clinic delivers BCBA-supervised ABA therapy to children with autism from 18 months through early school age. In-center services run up to age 8, while at-home sessions extend coverage to age 13 — giving families in the Dallas-Fort Worth area two settings to work with as kids grow. Purpose-built therapy rooms, game spaces, and indoor play areas are organized to support skill practice across motor, language, and social goals.
Best for
Young children (toddlers through early elementary) whose families want insurance-covered ABA in a structured center, with the option to extend support into the home.
Their approach
BCBAs design individualized goals and oversee every session, with RBTs carrying out day-to-day therapy work; the model also builds in twice-monthly parent coaching led by a BCBA so caregivers can carry strategies into daily routines outside the clinic.
What to expect
The Mesquite center runs Monday through Friday, 8am–5pm, and appointments are recommended. ABC accepts Cigna, Aetna, Anthem BCBS, United Healthcare, Optum, Ambetter, and more than 120 other plans; autism evaluation referral support is also available for children under 6.
