What to know about autism services in Missouri City
Paying for care in Missouri City
In Texas, both Texas Medicaid and most commercial plans cover ABA therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy for a child with an autism diagnosis. Texas Medicaid added ABA to its benefits back in 2022. Coverage details still vary by plan, so it is worth confirming your benefits before you start. Our guide on whether Texas Medicaid covers ABA walks through how it works.
You can start before a diagnosis
Waitlists for an evaluation can be long, but you do not have to wait to act. If your child is under 3, Texas’s Early Childhood Intervention program can evaluate and begin services without a formal diagnosis. For age 3 and up, your school district can evaluate too. Read getting an autism diagnosis for the full picture.

Autism is diagnosed by a specialist such as a developmental pediatrician, child psychologist, or pediatric neurologist, usually after a screening followed by a fuller evaluation. A diagnosis is also what unlocks insurance coverage for therapy, so booking an evaluation early is often the most important first step.
