Overview
ABA Therapy for autism in Plano
Serving kids with autism from birth through age 18, this Plano-area center runs age-matched ABA tracks: early intervention for infants and toddlers, a school-age bridge program, and a separate adolescent clinic in The Woodlands for teens 12 and up. Beyond standard programming, a specialty track handles severe behaviors — aggression, self-injury, elopement — with elevated staff ratios and a structured four-phase treatment model. Center-based sessions are the core, with in-home, school, and community delivery available depending on what the BCBA recommends.
Best for
Children ages 0–18 who need BCBA-supervised ABA with strong insurance coverage — including Medicaid — and families who want scheduling flexibility or may eventually need intensive support for severe behavior challenges.
Their approach
Each child starts with a BCBA assessment (caregiver interviews plus direct observation) that shapes an individualized plan, ranging from focused one-to-two-goal work to comprehensive therapy running 10–40 hours weekly. Programs are designed to advance developmentally, so a child who enters as a toddler can move through successive tiers rather than starting over as they grow.
What to expect
After a referral, an insurance specialist walks families through their specific coverage before services begin. Scheduling can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and select weekends, and caregivers are expected to participate actively — typically starting at about an hour per week and building from there.
