Does anybody know if there is a public school district in Texas who has ABA in their program?

Our son struggles with impulse control. He becomes overly excited and impulsive when happy. He struggles to engage, share attention and focus, but can focus on his own activity when interested. He is hyper active.

Hi, our kid just diagnosed with ASD 3 months ago and he's about to start going to pre-school this year at a school district we understood their way for treatment is discrete trial (DTT), however, our health insurance could cover a reasnoble portion if we go private ABA therapy, since our kid just turned 3 we would get him the best way of those therapy methods, is there any one went through the same situation could help us to make a decision ?we appreciate your opinions.

Hi. My toddler (2.8) was just diagnosed with autism and of course I am so overwhelmed with questions. I was told that he needs ABA 15 hours a week. How many hours do they do a session? I'm worried about copays and how often I will need to pay them. Fortunately for us, we have insurance, but I'm wildly concerned about cost of visits
Also, he still qualifies for Early intervention. Is this the same as ABA? Or different? IF so, how different
He will be attending an integrated school when he… read more
