About Central Texas Autism Center (CTAC)

Central Texas Autism Center (CTAC) is a world-renowned provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy in Austin, utilizing the Verbal Behavior (VB) approach. Founded by Kelle Wood Rich, a pioneer in the field, CTAC offers cutting-edge, intensive therapy programs for children with autism and related disorders.

CTAC's "Buds, Bridges, and Beginnings" programs are specifically designed for different developmental stages, ensuring targeted intervention for early learners through school-age children. They provide a center-based full-day program that mimics a school environment to prepare children for classroom success. Unlike many other centers, CTAC employs a high number of BCBAs who provide direct therapy, ensuring the highest level of expertise in daily interactions.

In addition to center-based care, they offer home/school consultation and parent training. CTAC is also a training hub for professionals, hosting the annual Verbal Behavior Conference.
