Overview
ABA Therapy for autism in Richardson
Founded by a parent who has personally navigated autism services for her own child, this DFW-area ABA practice runs two center-based locations — one in Midlothian and one in Richardson. BCBAs and RBTs deliver individualized therapy spanning early intervention through adulthood, pairing 1:1 sessions with parent training, school advocacy, community skills, and cross-provider coordination. Insurance-accepted plans include Aetna, BCBS, Baylor Scott & White, and Cigna, with private pay available.
Best for
Families who want hands-on help decoding insurance coverage and authorization before therapy even begins, especially those whose child spans a wide age or needs services beyond the clinic walls.
Their approach
Each child receives a 3-hour BCBA-led assessment before any treatment plan is written, ensuring goals reflect that specific child's strengths rather than a templated program. Skills targeted in sessions are intentionally linked to home, school, and community so progress doesn't stay confined to the therapy room.
What to expect
Parents start with a free consultation, then move to assessment — roughly two weeks of report development follow before the team submits to insurance for authorization. Throughout, staff handle benefit verification, explain deductibles and copays, and coordinate directly with the payer so families don't have to manage that paperwork alone.
