Our Services

Center-Based Focused Therapy

Our state-of-the-art facilities offer a focused, yet naturalistic therapy environment where children can thrive socially and academically. In our center-based programs, we provide structured, child-led sessions that foster group learning and socialization—building a foundation for critical skills that will support future growth. This session structure mimics life outside of therapy to ensure generalization of skills to other environments, while providing structured learning opportunities.

Early Intervention Programs

We know that starting therapy early can make a profound difference. Our early intervention programs are designed to address developmental delays right from the start, giving your child the best foundation for long-term academic and social success.

Autism Diagnostic Evaluations

The first step in understanding your child’s needs is an accurate diagnosis. At The Helm ABA, we provide diagnostic evaluations to determine whether your child meets criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), giving you the answers you need to take the next step with confidence.

How

We're Successful in Our Approach

At The Helm ABA, we’re proud of our deeply personalized and focused approach to autism therapy. Here’s why our methods make a real difference:

One-on-One Attention

Every child benefits from individualized attention, ensuring therapy is specifically tailored to their unique needs and learning styles. This focused approach allows us to adjust techniques in real-time, ensuring progress is maximized. We strive to provide consistency for your child’s treatment team so collaboration across Registered Behavior Technicians and Behavior Analysts can occur seamlessly to provide optimal outcomes.

Our treatment plans are designed in collaboration with families and updated regularly to reflect each child’s progress. By continuously adapting to meet evolving needs, we ensure that our therapy programs remain relevant and effective throughout the child’s development.

We believe that learning opportunities do not stop when the session ends. Family education and collaboration with all stakeholders is a cornerstone of our approach. We provide parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools to continue using therapy techniques in real lifeBy providing families the tools to successfully navigate life outside of therapy, families feel empowered to tackle any challenges they may face.

See what others are saying about their experience:

"After our child was diagnosed with ASD, I didn’t really know where to go beyond “ABA therapy.” I visited and toured many, many facilities around DFW but I was more and more disappointed with each one of them until I visited The Helm. From the very first moment, I knew that this was the right fit for my child and for our whole family, too. My child went from minimal two word sentences to telling whole funny stories in under a year. My child almost always is happy to attend sessions and loves the therapists. I love them all too. I feel like these wonderful people have made such a powerful and positive impact in our lives and I’m so very grateful and happy to have found them."

"Great team and corporate culture providing a much needed service to the Dallas community! Loved visiting the Helm ABA!"

Will Wright
"The staff at The Helm truly take the time to understand each kid’s needs and create a supportive, engaging environment. You can tell they’re passionate about what they do, and it makes all the difference!"

Lauren Jacobs
"There are not enough stars for me to give The Helm – they have been amazing from the day our family started with them and I can’t thank them enough. We had done ABA therapy for a couple years prior to moving out to Texas with limited results, but our son has made so much progress and mastered so many goals over the last year that he’s no longer in a special needs classroom in school and his teachers are recommending him for the Gifted and Talented program. The staff and therapists are amazing – I couldn’t recommend them any higher."

Eric Brandt
"Run, don’t walk, to sign up with The Helm in Lewisville! The AMAZING therapists at The Helm have given us the most amazing gift possible, the ability to really enjoy our precious autistic son. Their wisdom has enabled us to help our son become the boy he was meant to be. They have trained us all in strategies to help make dinner a time to connect rather than a nightmare filled with constant corrections. The angels at the Helm have trained our son to be ready to learn in a group of his peers and with one-on-one teaching. They have taught him to be a better friend and given him confidence to solve some of his own problems. I was skeptical about ABA therapy originally and have been 100% that it is truly a gift to unlock a child’s potential. Thank you Helm Angels!"

Heather Jane
