Center-Based Services

Your CARD® center provides a fun and welcoming atmosphere where your child can interact with a number of staff members and other patients, all while learning the lessons, behaviors, and skills they would learn at a home session but potentially at a faster rate.

Home-Based Services

Home-Based Services create powerful opportunities for individuals to practice and generalize skills across different people, places, and situations. This helps ensure that what is learned in ABA sessions becomes part of everyday life. By practicing skills in the places where they naturally occur, learners strengthen their ability to use those skills confidently and consistently.

Learning Readiness Program

CARD®’s Learning Readiness Program uses ABA therapy to help children with autism build essential pre-school skills, including communication, attention, social interaction, and following directions. Designed to support a smooth transition into classroom settings, the program promotes independence, confidence, and success in early learning environments.

Skills for Parents

S4P simplifies caregiver learning through a smart, accessible platform built around consistency and empowerment. Whether you’re just beginning with ABA or want to feel more confident applying strategies at home, this program is built to help you.

Social Skills Group

Strong social skills are foundational to success at school, at home, and in the community. Through structured guidance, children gain confidence, emotional insight, and the ability to thrive in new or challenging environments.

Teen & Adult Program

Our teen and adult program is designed for individuals 13 years and older, supporting their growth and independence. We provide customized care plans to meet the unique needs of teens and adults with a previous or current diagnosis of autism.

If you are looking for an ABA Center that will advocate SO heavily for you/your child, no need to go to Austin! I cannot say enough good things about CARD Kyle. They worked tirelessly to open doors for my child that everyone else in the areas seemed okay with keeping shut. They have done in 1 week what the other place we were working with in Austin didn't do in 8 weeks! As a mom of a newly diagnosed child with autism, this process can be so overwhelming. But Misti and her team took all of that off of my plate as they contacted insurance, nailed down all of the details and then came to me with a plan of action. If you are looking for ABA services, please reach out to Misti and her team.

I cannot recommend CARD Plano enough! It’s very apparent that the staff here genuinely cares about every kid who comes in. This is top quality therapy that you’re not going to find elsewhere. They work so hard to create positive change in the lives of their kids and families. The strategies they use are highly intentional, respectful, and effective, and the results are life-changing.

Card has been a life savor for us. My son started having violent meltdowns and his previous ABA simply left us. I heard about Card and enrolled him in Dec 2024. His behaviors have gone down significantly. The entire staff at card has been great, the BCBA, the therapist, everyone. I cant thank card enough. Thank you card for all that you do.
