ABA therapy is a preferred treatment for individuals with autism. However, whether or not ABA therapy is right for a particular child with ASD depends on a number of factors including their individual needs, strengths, and challenges, as well as the family's goals and preferences. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a licensed psychologist or behavior analyst, who can conduct a comprehensive assessment of the child's needs and make personalized treatment recommendations. Once diagnosis is confirmed, our Board-Certified Behavior Analyst will conduct an initial consultation which will serve as the basis for a personalized treatment plan specific to your child’s needs.

Conveniently located on Menchaca Road, our ABA therapy center in Manchaca is easily accessible and always within reach. Our center provides a supportive environment for children with autism and their families, creating an atmosphere of growth and learning that is tailored to each individual's unique needs.

Although we understand the convenience of at-home ABA therapy, our services are only provided at our centers. Research indicates that full-time ABA therapy is more beneficial than part-time treatment, and center-based therapy allows for a more intensive and structured program. Additionally, our centers are staffed by experienced and dedicated professionals who can provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child to learn and grow.

After a thorough evaluation, the BCBA determines the length of therapy. Treatment plans vary in intensity and frequency, so the number of hours may vary. For example, a child with severe communication delays may require more frequent and intense therapy than a child with milder delays.

For your child to be able to benefit from a multidisciplinary approach, we can work with your child's provider and make it possible for them to conduct therapy on our premises in order to provide them with a convenient location.
