  Your Child Receives an Autism Diagnosis   

• The journey to ABA therapy begins with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis from a qualified medical professional, such as a developmental pediatrician, neurologist, psychologist, or psychiatrist. After the diagnosis, your child's provider will submit or recommend a referral for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. At LEAP ABA Therapy, we proudly serve families throughout Dallas, Texas, providing personalized autism therapy for children with ASD. We accept many major commercial insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX), Aetna, Cigna, Optum, UnitedHealthcare, and many others.
