Guiding families through autism screening in Northern DFW

If you’ve noticed differences in your child’s development, like limited eye contact, delayed communication, or trouble with social interaction, you may be asking: “Could it be autism?” 

ABC in the northern suburbs of DFW is here to help. We offer no-cost screeners, ADOS-2 evaluations, and immediate access to care, so your child can begin reaching their goals as soon as possible.

Need an autism evaluation?

18 months to 6 years old

After screening for possible autism, the next step is an ADOS-2 assessment. This is a test that helps doctors evaluate whether a child meets the criteria for an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. Qualified ABC clinicians administer the test and send results to your child’s doctor for review.

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.

What is ABA therapy and how does it work?

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is a gold standard in care for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It helps children build practical skills and reduce behaviors that may make learning harder. Through ABA therapy, children can improve communication, develop self-care routines, and better manage emotions.

At Action Behavior Centers (ABC), our Board Certified Behavior Analysts® (BCBAs®) and Registered Behavior Technicians® (RBTs®) use positive reinforcement and individualized strategies to support growth. Families are active partners in therapy, working with our clinical team to set goals and track progress.
