Compassionate ABA Therapy, Right in Your Dallas Home

Autism in Dallas County: What the Numbers Tell Us

Understanding the scale of autism in Dallas helps families recognize they are not alone — and that quality support is both needed and available.

• The CDC's latest 2025 report found that 1 in 31 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder by age 8 — a steady increase from 1 in 44 just a few years ago.
• Texas has one of the largest populations of children with autism in the country. With Dallas County's population of 2.6 million and approximately 24% under age 18, an estimated 20,000+ children in Dallas County may be living with ASD.
• Boys are diagnosed at a rate 3.4 times higher than girls, though increasing awareness is closing the diagnostic gap.
• Early intervention — ideally before age 5 — produces the most significant and lasting outcomes for children with ASD, according to decades of research.
• Dallas County's diverse population (40.8% Hispanic, 22.2% Black, 27.1% White) means autism services must be culturally sensitive and accessible to all communities.

Despite growing need, many families in Dallas face significant barriers: long waitlists at autism centers, difficulty navigating insurance, and the logistical challenge of transporting children to and from clinics. Guidepost ABA eliminates these barriers by bringing care directly to you.

Our ABA Therapy Services in Dallas

In-Home ABA Therapy

Our BCBAs (Board Certified Behavior Analysts) and RBTs (Registered Behavior Technicians) come directly to your Dallas home. Sessions are built around your child's natural environment — your living room, backyard, and daily routines become the therapy setting. This approach leads to faster skill generalization, meaning the skills your child learns actually show up in real life.

In-School ABA Support

We partner with Dallas ISD and surrounding school districts to provide direct RBT support in your child's classroom. Whether your child attends a general education class or a specialized program, our team helps them navigate social interactions, manage transitions, and build school-readiness skills alongside their peers.

Autism Diagnostic Evaluations

Not sure if your child needs an evaluation? Our clinical team will walk you through the screening process, help coordinate with the right diagnostic providers in Dallas, and ensure your child gets the answers your family needs — quickly and compassionately.
