Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)
Behind every great ABA therapy plan is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) — a professional who brings science and compassion together to help your child grow. At Allison’s Therapy Corner, our BCBAs guide every step of your child’s journey, from assessment to daily progress, with care and precision.
We proudly serve families in Keller and Grapevine, offering ABA therapy designed around your child’s unique strengths and needs. Whether your child is learning to communicate, follow routines, or manage big emotions, our BCBAs are here to help you see real, measurable progress.
What Is Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)?
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is a highly trained expert in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) who designs, oversees, and refines therapy programs to help children build communication, social, and daily living skills.
At Allison’s Therapy Corner, our BCBAs use evidence-based strategies backed by research and tailored to each child. Every goal, every session, every success is guided by data and compassion.
For example, one of our BCBAs worked closely with a Keller family whose child found it hard to express simple wants. Through learning, visuals, and gentle prompting, the child learned to request favorite toys and food — turning frustration into joyful connection.

Who it Helps
BCBA-led therapy helps children with a wide range of developmental needs. Most of the families we work with have children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, ADHD, or other behavioral challenges that affect everyday life.
BCBA-led ABA therapy helps your child:
Our goal is to help children feel calm, understood, and successful — and to support parents through the process. Many families come to us feeling overwhelmed by daily routines that feel unpredictable. One Keller parent shared that her daughter, who once panicked with small routine changes, now starts her school day with confidence. She walks into class, follows her morning steps, and begins her day without tears — a change that brought so much relief to their family.
Every child’s path looks different, but the goal is always the same — helping your child grow with confidence, joy, and connection.
Where We Serve Families
Allison’s Therapy Corner proudly serves families across the Fort Worth and Grapevine areas with two convenient clinic locations.

Wherever you’re coming from, you’ll find a caring team ready to support your child’s growth — one step, one smile, and one success at a time.
How BCBA Works at Allison’s Therapy Corner
At Allison’s Therapy Corner, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts play a central role in your child’s progress. From the very first visit, your BCBA works hand-in-hand with your family to create a plan that fits your child’s unique strengths and challenges.
Every child’s plan is individualized
Our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) create custom goals for your child, and our Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) work one-on-one each day to build communication, social, and self-help skills.
Sessions are active and engaging. Every day includes a mix of crafts, songs, group games and gym time — because therapy should feel like fun, not work. One child might work on sequencing steps to brush teeth using a visual chart, while another practices greeting a friend during playtime.
We also collaborate closely with our in-house Speech and Occupational Therapists. Our speech team collaborates with your child’s ABA team to learn how to practice expressive language during play, and our RBTs and BCBAs may join parts of ST or OT sessions to support consistency across goals.
Therapy often continues outside our clinic walls. We encourage parents to practice skills at home and in natural environments — such as play dates, playgrounds, or sensory-friendly activities in the community. These real-life experiences help children generalize skills and turn therapy goals into everyday confidence.
Schedule your child’s evaluation today to discover how our team can create a plan that fits your family’s goals.
Comprehensive Assessment and Parent Input
We learn about your child through observation and conversation. Parents share what matters most, and your input guides the entire plan.
Personalized ABA Plan
Your BCBA creates clear, meaningful goals written in simple, everyday language so progress is easy to understand and celebrate.
Family Collaboration & Home Strategies
We share updates often and give you practical tools for home. Your BCBA helps you feel supported with routines, communication, and daily challenges.
What to Expect
To receive ABA services with us, your child must have an official diagnosis of Autism. From your first phone call to your child’s first “I did it!” moment, we’ll be right beside you. Here’s what the process looks like step-by-step:
- 1
Free Consultation
We’ll start with a phone call and/or in-person tour to learn about your child and your family’s goals. You can ask questions, share challenges, and get a feel for whether our team is the right fit.
- 2
Initial Assessment
Your child meets with a BCBA for a comprehensive evaluation. We observe communication, social skills, behaviors, and sensory preferences. Parents are involved — your insight helps shape the plan and ensures your priorities are front and center.
- 3
Individualized Treatment Plan
After assessment, your BCBA creates an individualized plan with measurable goals. You’ll review and approve everything before we begin. Collaboration is key — we make sure goals feel meaningful to you and your child.
- 4
Insurance Authorization
We handle the insurance process for you. Approval typically takes 2–6 weeks, depending on the provider. Our team keeps you updated so there are no surprises.
- 5
Ongoing Therapy
Once therapy begins, your child will work one-on-one with a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), guided by their BCBA. Sessions are interactive and adaptive — balancing structured learning with teaching.
Collaboration with Schools and Families
Therapy requires multiple efforts — your child’s success depends on teamwork. We regularly collaborate with teachers and outside providers such as Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Music Therapists, Counselors, and Play Therapists to support consistent routines and shared goals between settings.
We can coordinate strategies with school or outside therapies for a seamless learning experience. We love hearing when teachers or other providers share that a child is raising their hand more in class or handling transitions more calmly — small victories that make a big impact.
Family involvement is just as important. You’ll always know what’s happening in therapy and how to continue progress at home — whether it’s using a picture schedule, practicing social scripts, or celebrating milestones together.
Our Team & Approach
At Allison’s Therapy Corner, you’re not just getting one therapist — you’re getting a team that truly cares and collaborates.
Your child’s care team may include:
Our staff are deeply experienced and passionate about helping kids succeed. Many have worked in schools, clinics, and family homes across Texas — bringing years of insight into what helps children thrive.
We meet weekly to review data, celebrate progress, and fine-tune strategies. This ongoing collaboration ensures every plan stays fresh, responsive, and personalized.
Parents often tell us they can “feel the love” the moment they walk through our doors — and that’s exactly how we want it to be.
Our guiding verse is Matthew 19:14:
“Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me… for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’”
This heart for children shapes everything we do — from how we greet your family to how we celebrate your child’s smallest victories.
