Behavior support for autism families in Dallas–Fort Worth
The DFW metroplex has one of the country's densest ABA markets, yet parents still report the same gap: the child gets hours of therapy, the parents get a five-minute handoff in the parking lot. Parent-led consulting closes that gap, training the people who run the other 128 hours of the week.
Sessions run online in Central Time for families from Plano to Fort Worth to Arlington, built around commutes on I-35 you are not taking, because the support comes to your living room.

Funding & support in Texas
Jess's consulting is private-pay and does not bill insurance directly. Some families use HSA/FSA funds or flexible program dollars where their plan's rules allow, so check with your administrator. The free discovery call costs nothing and will help you map your options.
- Texas Medicaid & insurance coverage
Texas Medicaid covers medically necessary autism services for eligible children, and many private plans must cover treatment under the state mandate. Rules attach to licensed clinical providers; verify with your plan.
- HHSC waiver interest lists
Texas waiver programs carry multi-year interest lists; DFW families are urged to register early regardless of what private support they use now.
Serving the wider Dallas–Fort Worth area
Families anywhere in the region, from Plano, Frisco, Arlington, Irving, McKinney, Grand Prairie, Denton to Carrollton, and everywhere in between, can work with Jess online. If you can get online, you are close enough.
Dallas–Fort Worth families ask
How is this different from the parent training our ABA agency offers?
Agency parent training is usually brief, protocol-specific, and tied to the child's program. This consulting is the opposite: it centers entirely on you, covers whatever your family is facing (not just program targets), and stays with you across provider changes, which DFW families know are frequent.
Our evenings are packed with activities. When do sessions happen?
Sessions are scheduled in Central Time around your family's real calendar, and because they are video calls, there is no drive across the metroplex attached. Many parents book while kids are at school.
