ABA Clinic in Highland Village, TX

Applied Behavior Analysis is a scientific approach to understanding behavior and using that understanding to create positive change. Unlike some therapeutic approaches that focus primarily on feelings or thoughts, ABA focuses on identifying what happens before and after a behavior occurs, then systematically modifying those conditions to increase desired behaviors and decrease challenging ones. ABA is the most extensively researched and evidence-based treatment for autism spectrum disorder and has also shown effectiveness for ADHD, learning disabilities, and other behavioral concerns. Our BCBAs use specific assessment tools and data collection to track progress objectively, ensuring that treatment plans are continuously refined based on actual results.

The duration and frequency of ABA therapy varies significantly depending on each individual’s needs, current skills, and treatment goals. Some children benefit from intensive programs of 20-40 hours per week, while others do well with 10-15 hours weekly. The length of treatment can range from months to several years, depending on progress and goals. Our BCBAs work with families to determine an appropriate schedule that balances therapeutic intensity with family needs and lifestyle. We regularly review progress and adjust recommendations based on how your child is responding. Many families find that as children develop skills and independence, the intensity of services can gradually decrease.

We accept a variety of insurance plans for both ABA services and mental health counseling. Insurance coverage for ABA has expanded significantly in recent years, and many Texas insurance plans cover ABA therapy for autism and ADHD. We recommend contacting us with your insurance information, and our team can verify your coverage and explain benefits, copays, and any out-of-pocket costs. We work with families to navigate insurance questions and maximize their benefits. For families without insurance coverage or those with high deductibles, we can discuss flexible payment options.

While ABA is most well-known as a treatment for autism spectrum disorder, it’s highly effective for ADHD as well. ABA principles help children with ADHD develop better attention, impulse control, time management, and organizational skills. Our ADHD program combines ABA strategies with other evidence-based approaches like behavioral management and medication management collaboration (when appropriate). Many children benefit from the structured, data-driven approach that ABA provides, especially when combined with our comprehensive ADHD program tailored to the unique needs of each child.

We offer in-home ABA services as a flexible option for families in Highland Village and surrounding areas. In-home therapy allows children to learn and practice skills in their natural environment (home, yard, community), which often leads to better generalization of those skills. Parents also benefit from observing and participating in sessions, learning strategies they can use throughout the day. Our in-home ABA therapists and supervisory BCBAs bring the same level of expertise and commitment to care as our clinic-based team, using the same comprehensive assessment tools and evidence-based treatment methods.
