Action Behavior Centers

Seven years ago, they started off with one center in Austin, one Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and big aspirations. After observing the lack of quality options for children with Autism, they set out to create Action Behavior Centers (ABC) with a vision of transforming the lives of children with Autism and the clinicians who support them.

In their quest to create something special, they ignited a movement.

Today, with more than 375 centers (expanding to 800, over the next three years) in Texas, Arizona, Colorado, North Carolina, Minnesota, and Illinois, they are well on their way to accomplishing their mission. Through their community of more than nine thousand autism professionals, they serve thousands of children and families with Autism.

ABC is the largest and most respected name in ABA therapy.

An Extraordinary Team

At the core of their success is a hand-picked, highly engaged staff, dedicated to the success of every child.

Their clinical leadership is composed of experts in the field of ABA therapy. Their Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) are extraordinarily talented clinicians whose life’s work is helping children on the Autism Spectrum live rich, happy lives in which they contribute to and enhance the world around them.

They do this because they love making a difference. They take care of them because of it. They create a culture that is open, energetic, intensely supportive and grounded in a relentless commitment to quality therapy for their kids.

Our Kids

Our kids are at the core of what we do. They are what matters. Everything we do is focused on embracing their world, understanding them, and achieving their greatest potential.

ABC doesn’t take a “one size fits all” approach and treats each child as an individual.

Our goal is to celebrate each child’s unique gifts while helping them develop tools that serve them later in life.

Our Families

You are part of the ABC family, for the first phone call, through every milestone. We are in this together. We are connected.

In addition to behavioral and development programming, we place a large focus on the inclusion of the family. Every family member plays a fundamental role. We provide dedicated programs and guidance to help families understand their roles and responsibilities.
