One-on-one ABA therapy in your home and at your child’s school in Waco, with a BCBA-supervised plan built around your child.
Waco has captured the nation's attention in recent years — a Central Texas city that has reinvented itself as a destination for culture, food, and community while staying true to its deep Texas roots and strong faith heritage. Home to Baylor University and a growing economy, Waco is a city on the rise. For families here raising a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), however, the city's smaller size means that specialized therapy resources can be limited. Guidepost ABA is here to fill that gap. We deliver evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly to your home and your child's school throughout Waco — with no waitlist and immediate access to care.
Waco has a population of approximately 147,788 residents. With children under age 18 comprising approximately 22.8% of the population, Waco is home to an estimated 33,700+ children.
Based on the CDC's 2025 national prevalence rate of 1 in 31 children with ASD, an estimated 1,090+ children in Waco may be living with autism spectrum disorder.
Waco is a diverse city with a significant Hispanic population, a substantial Black community, and families from a wide range of backgrounds. CDC data confirms that Hispanic and Black children are now being diagnosed with ASD at higher rates than ever before, making culturally responsive autism care increasingly important in Waco.
Waco ISD is the primary school district. The surrounding area is also served by Midway ISD, La Vega ISD, and Connally ISD. While each district provides special education services, individualized in-home ABA therapy goes far beyond what school staff can offer alone.
Children who begin ABA therapy between 18 months and 5 years of age show the most significant long-term developmental gains. Boys are diagnosed with ASD at approximately 3.4 times the rate of girls nationally.
