Center-based ABA therapy in Austin

18 months – 8 years

Our bright, engaging centers give autistic children a place they actually enjoy going to. Board Certified Behavior Analysts® (BCBAs®) and Registered Behavior Technicians® (RBTs®) provide individualized ABA therapy and help children build practical social and communication skills through play-based activities and natural learning opportunities. When speech or occupational therapy is part of your child's care, our team coordinates directly with those providers during the therapy day so your child's support stays connected and consistent.

Families also receive two built-in Family Guidance sessions per month with a BCBA, giving parents real strategies to support their child's progress at home and in everyday routines. And with consistent schedules and no unexpected cancellations, you can count on care being there when your family needs it.

ABC at Home

18 months – 13 years

ABC at Home brings the same evidence-based ABA therapy and compassionate care your child would receive at a center, delivered right in your home. Learning in a familiar environment helps skills carry over naturally into daily routines, making progress feel immediate and meaningful. BCBAs and RBTs work with your child where they're most comfortable, and two Family Guidance sessions per month keep parents equipped with strategies to support growth every day.

ABC Academy

5 – 12 years

ABC Academy is a continuation of care program for autistic children who attend school part-time or full-time but could still benefit from extra support. BCBAs and RBTs help children build the skills they need to succeed in the classroom, including social flexibility, time management, and emotion regulation. It's a natural bridge between therapy and school, designed to help autistic children feel confident, prepared, and supported as they grow.

Frequently asked questions

If you have other questions we are happy to help. The interest form is the best way to connect with our team.

What is ABA therapy and how does it work?

Applied behavior analysis therapy is a research-backed method that helps children diagnosed with autism learn new skills and reduce behaviors that may make learning harder. With ABA, children can improve communication, build daily living skills, and better understand their emotions. Our ABA therapists utilize different strategies, like Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) and Natural Environment Teaching (NET), to support each child’s progress. Therapy is delivered through a compassionate care framework and emphasizes the child’s individual needs and goals.

Will my child be sitting at a table all day during ABA therapy?

No way! At ABC, learning happens through a variety of engaging activities. While table time can be part of learning school readiness skills, children also enjoy:

  • Circle Time with therapists and peers
  • “Eats and Crafts” spaces for hands-on activities
  • Group exercise, sensory rooms, and play-based learning

Therapy is designed to be fun, active, and motivating.

Is ABA therapy effective for autism?

Yes! Every autistic child is unique, and some children experience more significant progress with ABA therapy than others. However, studies show that children who receive two or more years of intensive behavioral interventions, including ABA therapy, can often participate in school and social activities at the same level as their peers.

Does insurance in Texas cover ABA therapy?

At Action Behavior Centers, we're committed to making evidence-based ABA therapy accessible to families across Texas. Our experienced insurance team works directly with your provider to verify coverage, handle preauthorizations, and ensure seamless billing.

We're in-network with many major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, Cigna, Optum, UMR, Beacon Health, PHCS, and more.

At this time, we do not accept Medicaid at our Texas ABA therapy centers. If your insurance plan includes ABA benefits, services may come at little to no cost. For families without coverage or facing high out-of-pocket costs, we offer sliding-scale options based on income so you can pay what you're able.

What ages do your ABA therapy centers in Texas serve?

We offer ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism, ages 18 months to 8 years, in the Austin area. Our Austin-area centers also provide autism evaluations, including the ADOS-2, for children ages 18 months to 6 years, led by qualified clinicians.

BCBAs work closely with each family and child to set individualized therapy goals.

Whatever your family's goals, we're here to support you and help your child enjoy a happy, safe, and fulfilling childhood.
