What to know about autism services in Plano
Paying for care in Plano
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.

Common questions about autism services in Plano
What autism services are available in Plano, TX?

Does Texas Medicaid cover ABA therapy in Plano?
Yes. Texas Medicaid has covered medically necessary ABA therapy for children 20 and younger with an autism diagnosis since 2022, and many commercial plans cover it too. Coverage details vary by plan, so confirm your benefits with the provider before you start.
How do I get an autism diagnosis near Plano?
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.
Can my child start therapy before getting an autism diagnosis?
Often, yes. Speech and occupational therapy for a specific delay usually do not require a diagnosis first, and children under 3 can begin through Texas's Early Childhood Intervention program. ABA therapy does require a diagnosis for insurance coverage.
Which Plano providers accept Medicaid?
7 of the providers we list in Plano accept Texas Medicaid. Filter by "Medicaid" above to see them, and confirm your specific plan when you reach out.
How long is the wait to see an autism provider in Plano?
Waitlists vary by provider and can run from a few weeks to several months, especially for evaluations and ABA. It helps to get on more than one waitlist, ask to be added to cancellation lists, and ask whether telehealth or a nearby location has sooner openings.
What is the difference between ABA, occupational, and speech therapy?
ABA therapy builds communication, social, and daily-living skills through the science of learning. Occupational therapy focuses on everyday tasks, motor skills, and sensory needs. Speech therapy supports all forms of communication, from spoken language to assistive devices. Many children benefit from more than one.
