Overview
Autism therapy and services in Plano
An integrated neurodevelopmental clinic in Plano, Cortica brings together diagnostics, ABA, speech, OT, music therapy, pediatric medicine, and mental health counseling under one roof for kids and teens up to age 17. Rather than sending families to separate specialists, all providers — neurologists, pediatricians, therapists, counselors — share treatment plans and coordinate in real time. The center draws families from across Collin County, including Frisco, Allen, McKinney, Richardson, and as far as Dallas and Carrollton.
Best for
Families who want one clinic to handle the full picture — from an initial autism evaluation through ongoing ABA and developmental therapies — without having to juggle appointments across multiple providers.
Their approach
The whole-child model is the core differentiator: every clinician in the building communicates across disciplines so gains in one area reinforce progress elsewhere. ABA at Cortica is framed as brain-based, and the practice is explicitly neurodiversity-affirming.
What to expect
Most major insurance is accepted and the clinic handles authorizations and billing directly, so parents can focus on their child's appointments rather than paperwork; the center runs Monday–Friday 8am–7pm with Saturday medical telehealth available 10am–2pm.
