Our daughter just turned 3 and we finally got her autism diagnosis last month after almost a year of evaluations and appointments. Her developmental pediatrician recommended starting ABA as soon as possible, especially since she's showing some communication delays and has a really hard time with transitions and sensory stuff.. We've been trying to get her started but hitting walls everywhere!
We've called probably 6 or 7 places and most of them either have a waitlist that stretches into next year or never even call back. It's honestly so frustrating because we keep reading that early intervention makes such a big difference and every month feels like it matters right now.
Has anyone been through this recently in the area? I keep searching for aba therapy houston accepting new patients and getting a mix of outdated info, random directories, or places that turn out to be full by the time I actually call… Would love to know if anyone has had a good experience with a specific clinic or provider, especially one that works with toddlers and accepts Medicaid or a major insurance plan. In-home would be ideal since getting her to appointments is already a whole thing. Any recommendations or tips from parents who have been through this would mean so much to us right now!!
