Therapy for Your Child

We understand that parent training is just one piece of the puzzle. That’s why MCFS also partners with trusted therapy providers throughout the state. We provide funding for you with therapists who specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and other evidence-based therapies for children with autism. These therapies can help improve communication, social skills, adaptive behaviors, and overall well-being for your child.

Helping You Help Your Child

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex condition that affects a child’s development, including the way they communicate, socialize, and behave. As of 2023, the CDC says as many as 1 in 36 children in the United States will be diagnosed with ASD. This diagnosis can affect any child, regardless of their family’s background or income.

Parent Training

The Key to Success

We believe that parents play a vital role in their child’s autism journey. Research shows that parent training is one of the most effective ways to help kids with autism thrive. That’s why we’re proud to partner with the Child Study Center in Fort Worth and the University of Houston-Clear Lake. Together, we offer FREE intensive parent training programs to families across Texas.+

Is Parent Training Right for You?

Does your child have an autism diagnosis?
Do they sometimes struggle with behaviors like tantrums, aggression, or difficulty following instructions?
Do they find it hard to communicate or interact with others?
Are you a parent who’s ready to learn and work hard to help your child?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, our parent training program could be a fantastic fit for your family!
