Is your child showing signs of autism?
Wondering how to get your child tested for autism or where to begin an early autism evaluation? At Action Behavior Centers, we are here to help you navigate the autism evaluation process so your child can access the care they need when they need it.
The first step is completing a simple online autism screening tool for children of all ages. If screening results suggest your child may be at risk for autism, we offer in-person assessments like the ADOS-2 for children ages 18 months to 6 years old. Access to care is important to us, and our autism screenings and ADOS-2 assessments are completed at no cost.
We have immediate openings for ABA behavioral therapy at our centers in the Dallas–Fort Worth region.

We meet you where you are
Center-based
Our centers are lively and engaging places for children. In the center-based setting, children ages 18 months–8 years can learn new skills like speaking, independence, and interacting with their peers.
ABC at Home
An at-home environment allows children to engage in play-based learning in a familiar setting. Children work one-on-one with a qualified clinician who teaches them how to apply what they're learning to real-life situations.
ABC Academy
This innovative program provides part-time or full-time ABA therapy for children ages 5–12. Children receive individualized instruction and learn skills that can prepare them for the future.

Frequently asked questions
Does ABC provide other types of therapy besides ABA?
Our specialty is ABA therapy, guided by Board Certified Behavior Analysts. However, we coordinate with outside providers such as speech, occupational, physical, and feeding therapists. This ensures your child has a comprehensive treatment plan and seamless care across all services.
To make accessing services easier, we maintain a list of approved speech, occupational, physical, and feeding therapy providers that we work with. These professionals can deliver sessions at our centers during the therapy day, so your child can receive multiple therapies in one familiar setting without extra transitions or travel. Families are welcome to choose their own outside providers. We’ll work closely with them to support continuity of care, ensuring your child’s growth and progress remain our shared goal.
