Overview

ABA Therapy for autism in Richardson

Just off the US-75/Arapaho interchange near UT Dallas, this Richardson clinic runs BCBA-supervised ABA programs for children starting at age two. Two tiers cover the full childhood span: early intervention for ages 2–6 and a school-age track for ages 7–18, each built around communication, adaptive behavior, and social skill goals set by a board-certified behavior analyst. Insurance is accepted from Optum, Aetna, Cigna, Magellan Health, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, and the clinic currently has immediate openings.

Best for

Children ages 2–18 with autism or behavioral disorders whose families want BCBA-designed therapy with parent coaching built in and a team that will coordinate directly with their child's school.

Their approach

BCBAs open each case with a Functional Behavior Assessment, then write an individualized Behavior Intervention Plan targeting the child's specific goals—whether that's functional communication, executive functioning, or daily living independence. Parent coaching is a standing part of every program, and clinicians share progress data with teachers and align goals to the child's IEP when school collaboration is needed.

What to expect

Reach the intake team by phone at (866) 569-7395 or through the online consultation form; they'll walk through the timeline for starting services. Cancellations and rescheduling require 24 hours' advance notice.
