Overview
Tucked into a Plano suite off W 15th Street, this bilingual ABA clinic targets the window that matters most — ages 18 months through 7 years, when early intervention tends to have the greatest impact. Every child moves through a skills evaluation first, then into one-on-one sessions built around individualized goals spanning communication, daily routines, social development, and independence. English- and Spanish-speaking families are equally at home here.
Spanish- or English-speaking parents of toddlers and young children (18 months to 7 years) seeking intensive, individualized ABA from a clinic where the founder brings both a BCBA credential and roughly two decades of prior psychology experience.
A comprehensive evaluation anchors each treatment plan before therapy starts, and parents are woven into the process from day one — the expectation is that goals practiced in clinic carry over into daily home life. All skill-building happens through play, the medium children learn through most naturally.
Intake begins with a detailed assessment of your child's current skills; therapy doesn't start until you've reviewed and agreed to the proposed plan. The clinic describes its services as affordable and in-network, though the site does not list specific insurers — it's worth calling to confirm your coverage.

Founder & CEO
After nearly 20 years as a psychologist in Cuba, Nilka moved to Texas in 2014 and worked her way from RBT to BCaBA to BCBA while completing a Master's in Psychological Development of Childhood and Adolescence — a path that now informs her holistic, family-centered approach to autism treatment. She founded the clinic to remove language barriers for Spanish-speaking families navigating an autism diagnosis.
