Hello Autism is an amazing clinic that offers many opportunities and resources that cannot be found in any other ABA clinic. Hello Autism excels in the field of ABA with their phenomenal natural environment training programs, in house therapy, and parent training programs. Autism therapy is a relatively new field so there are still many advances, discoveries and improvements to be made in the field. Hello Autism is a clinic that understands this and they do their absolute best to be at the head of modern changes in the field. They understand that sitting at a table and running programs for hours is an old therapy technique and is just not realistic for every child. The BCBAs and RBTs at Hello, make sure that generalization is just as important as learning new skills. They make sure that when a child leaves the clinic, they can apply their skills at home, at school, and with their parents and other people that are part of their lives. They take the children on field trips to practice skills in different environments or will go in home as well. A top priority of Hello, is that children do not miss out on opportunities.They include every child, and work with the child’s needs instead of trying to make the child to conform. BCBAs and parents are always communicating to ensure that both sides are always updated on any changes and improvements seen in a child. I highly recommend this clinic to any family looking for ABA services, the child’s needs will always be the highest priority. Pursuing a future of endless opportunities for our children with a start of a confident “Hello” at the best clinic in Texas!

I would like to write a review with the intention of helping parents who have kids on the spectrum while guiding dedicated behavior therapists who are looking for a good environment to excel at what they do. Being a parent with a kid on the spectrum comes with so many challenges. It is not an easy road but I know from first hand that ABA and early intervention help kids with developmental delays to reach their best potential tremendously! So the question comes what to look for when picking the right clinic for your bundle of love. I have worked at different clinics which I was not comfortable with their practices. One of the fundamentals of ABA is to teach new skills while decreasing maladaptive behaviors (if any) by using reinforcement. However, I am sad to observe that it is not always the case in some ABA clinics. I am not here to share horror stories but as a behavior technician it is my duty to warn parents to educate themselves before picking a clinic. Quick example; one clinic I have worked at was making the kids run loops as a form of punishment which results in making physical activities assertive to the kids. There are so many ABA clinics out there and not every one of them is on the right track. So please be careful when choosing a clinic because your kid is at the peak of learning. At Hello Autism I have never seen such practices. They are very careful about their programming and follow the board ethics and regulations. Kids and their achievements are the number one priority for every individual who works under this establishment. BCBAs are always there to help and provide feedback as the therapists work on individualized treatment plans. The kids are not always sitting at the table for long hours because their programs allow them to socialize with peers, engage in group activities (art, craft, reading, gross/fine motor practices). The children at Hello Autism have the opportunity to generalize the skill they learn in different settings which I cannot stress enough how important it is and how other clinics I ve worked at were lacking this important step. Parent involvement is also highly encouraged enabling parents to voice their concerns and coming up with the best strategies to help them apply at home. As the nature of ABA, trials are repetitive and it can easly decrease the work performance of the therapists. Having to work at different settings throughout the day keeps the therapists dynamic and focused. It also adds fun to ABA for both the children and their therapists. The admin side of the clinic always work around your schedule and tries to find best session time for parents’ availability. So there is a good work and life balance. New therapists go through training and there is so much support from older staff and BCBA because everybody strive to maintain QUALITY. There are also general staff trainings take place where everybody gets informed about changes in clients’ programs and regulations. It is such an essential protocol to keep everybody updated and help them to be on the same page to achieve consistency. I have seen so many happy tears over clients’ improvements from the day I have started to work there. It makes me happy to say that I am glad to work with the people who really care and to know that they are at work to make a change in a kid's life. Forever...
