Overview
A well-established ABA center tucked off N Plano Road in Richardson, this location is part of a network that has been running autism programs for more than 25 years. Kids ages 18 months through 10 get center-based ABA, autism diagnostic evaluations, and an after-school social skills group — all under one roof. Insurance from Tricare, Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, Humana, and several other carriers is accepted, with staff who help families confirm coverage.
Young children in the Richardson, Plano, or Garland corridor who need intensive center-based ABA alongside — or following — a diagnostic evaluation, all covered by commercial insurance.
One-on-one ABA runs 20–40 hours weekly, with BCBAs designing each child's plan and RBTs delivering sessions; a parallel 'Beyond the Bell' after-school group gives school-aged kids structured peer practice using the same ABA framework while keeping parents actively involved.
Reach out through the admissions line or email to start enrollment; the team walks families through insurance eligibility and can schedule an in-person or virtual autism evaluation for children under 10 before or alongside starting therapy.
