Overview
Part of the Action Behavior Centers network, this location in The Colony delivers center-based ABA therapy for children ages 5 through 12 who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Sessions run afternoons and Saturday mornings — a schedule intentionally built around the school day — at a facility in Denton County near the State Highway 121 corridor. Therapy rooms include dedicated spaces for games, reading, crafts, and indoor movement, creating a varied sensory environment rather than a clinical-only setting.
Families with school-age children (5–12) who need ABA therapy scheduled around school hours, including after-school weekday slots and Saturday mornings.
BCBAs design individualized programs and supervise all sessions, while RBTs deliver hands-on therapy day to day. Skills targeted include self-regulation, problem-solving, social flexibility, organization, and time management — practical areas that carry over into school and daily routines.
Enrollment starts with a family consultation; children coming from another Action Behavior location can transfer their existing insurance authorization without extra paperwork. The center participates with most major insurers, including Aetna, United Healthcare, UMR, Allegiance, and Medica, along with more than 120 additional carriers.
