In just a few weeks ABC Pediatrics will hold their grand opening in Flower Mound, but already the therapy center is looking at expansion as the disorder reaches new heights in the US.
"In the late 80s early 90s it was 1 in 10,000," said Managing Partner Barbara Cravey. "Now we're faced with 1 in 68 or 1 in 45 depending on which survey you go by."
Cravey hopes the center in the Parker Square development of Flower Mound can help some of those families get the support they need.
Like many, they’re trying to give a comprehensive approach to autism therapy that hits heavily on sensory work along with speech and learning programs.
More centers like Cravey’s are trying to expand closer to home for patients to make care easier to obtain.
