Yes. Let’s Play N Grow provides ABA therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy at its Dallas and Farmers Branch centers, so one team coordinates your child’s goals instead of three separate offices. Speech therapy currently has a waiting list, and families can add their child to it now rather than waiting for a spot to open.
The short version
- ABA, speech, and OT are offered at both Let’s Play N Grow locations.
- Speech therapy has an active waiting list, and signup is open today.
- One coordinated team means shared goals, shared notes, and no repeated intake.
- Children do not need all three services, and the evaluation determines what fits.
- Scheduling is built around your family’s week, not a fixed clinic block.
Why does combining ABA, speech, and OT work better?
Because the three disciplines are working on the same child, not three separate problems. A child who cannot request a break may be labeled as having a behavior issue by one provider, a language delay by another, and a sensory regulation issue by a third. When those providers sit in the same building, they can compare notes and land on one plan.
Split care creates gaps. Parents end up relaying information between offices, goals contradict each other, and progress in one setting does not carry into the next. Coordinated care removes that translation work from the parent.
What does coordinated care look like week to week?
Your child’s BCBA, speech-language pathologist, and occupational therapist work from a shared set of goals and check in with each other regularly. If your child starts using a new request in speech, the behavior team reinforces it during the same week’s sessions. If OT identifies a sensory trigger, the behavior plan accounts for it instead of working against it.
Parents get one point of contact rather than three. That matters most during the first few months, when schedules, insurance authorizations, and progress reviews all move at once. It helps to know how BCBAs and RBTs divide responsibility for your child’s daily programming before that first team meeting.
Is speech therapy available right now?
Speech therapy is available at Let’s Play N Grow, and there is currently a waiting list. Families can add a child to the speech therapy list now, and the team confirms placement as availability opens.
Getting on the list early matters more than most parents expect. Waitlist position is set by signup date, so a family who calls in September is ahead of one who waits until an opening is announced. There is no cost to hold a place.
Does my child need all three therapies?
Not necessarily. Many children start with ABA alone, add speech once communication goals become the priority, and never need OT. Others need speech and OT while behavior support stays light. The evaluation drives the recommendation, not a package.
The most common question parents ask is whether speech is redundant when a child already receives behavior support. It usually is not, and the reasons are specific enough that we covered where ABA communication goals end and a speech-language pathologist’s work begins separately.
Communication also starts well before words do. If your child is not talking yet, the early signals that a child is building toward language are worth recognizing before any therapy begins, and there are practical things you can do at home in the meantime.
What if my child does not have a diagnosis yet?
You can still start. Early autism screening is available, and the team can walk you through what a developmental evaluation involves and what insurance will ask for before therapy begins.
Parents who are still deciding whether to pursue services at all often find it useful to read what actually happens in a first ABA session before making the call.
How do the Dallas and Farmers Branch centers handle scheduling?
Both centers schedule around your family rather than assigning a fixed block. If your child receives two or three services, the team stacks sessions on the same day when possible so you don’t have to make separate trips across DFW traffic.
The Dallas center on North Central Expressway sits just off Central near Park Lane, which puts it within a short drive for families in Preston Hollow, Park Cities, Lake Highlands, and North Dallas. It draws primarily from Dallas ISD and Richardson ISD boundaries.
The Farmers Branch center on Midway Road sits near Midway and Alpha, serving families across Farmers Branch, Carrollton, Addison, and Northwest Dallas. Most families at this location come from Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD.
Both centers are built as play-based spaces rather than clinical treatment rooms, and what that looks like in practice is worth seeing before you commit to any provider.
Ready to find out which services fit your child?
Call 214-851-1031 to talk through which of the three therapies your child qualifies for. If speech is part of the answer, the team can add your child to the speech waiting list during the same call, so you are not making a second one later. You can also book a walkthrough of either center and meet the team before you decide.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the speech therapy waiting list?
Wait times shift with staffing and how many families are ahead of you. The team gives you a realistic estimate when you sign up and updates you as your position moves. Because placement is based on signup date, joining the list early is the single thing that shortens your wait.
Can we start ABA while waiting for speech therapy?
Yes, and most families do. ABA programming includes communication goals, so your child works on functional requesting and language use while the speech spot opens. When speech begins, the two teams align their goals rather than starting over.
Does insurance cover all three therapies?
Coverage depends on your plan and your child’s diagnosis. The intake team verifies benefits for each service separately before you commit to anything.
Do we have to choose one location, or can we split between them?
Most families stay at one center for consistency, since the same team works with your child across services. If scheduling makes a split easier, the team will tell you honestly whether it will affect continuity for your child.
What should I ask before choosing a provider?
Ask how the therapies coordinate, who your point of contact is, and how progress gets reported to you. There are a handful of questions that separate a strong provider from an average one, and any good clinic will answer them without hesitation.
