Dream Steps Autism Therapy, LLC

Dream Steps Autism Therapy, LLC is an in-home Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) company based in McKinney, Texas, that provides individualized therapy to children with autism and other developmental needs. The business delivers services directly in the child's natural home environment to improve feeding, communication, social, and daily living skills while reducing interfering behaviors.

The process begins with an initial ABA assessment where a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) meets with the child and caregivers to gather detailed information. This includes caregiver interviews, direct observation, and structured skill assessments to evaluate language, social interaction, play, and behavior patterns before developing an individualized treatment plan.

The business travels to eleven service areas ranging from the Red River to Fort Worth, including Sherman, Denison, Van Alstyne, Anna, Gainesville, Melissa, Allen, Frisco, Fort Worth, and Tyler. Each location has its own team, schools, and schedule, with a specific administrative base in McKinney at 901 N. McDonald St STE 610.

The McKinney office provides in-home ABA therapy, feeding therapy, and community integration services. Every case is supervised by a BCBA, and the team includes Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who work directly with children in their natural environments to support skill development.

BCBAs meet with families a designated number of times each month to provide parent training and ongoing support. They focus on behavior management strategies and skill-building techniques, while secure online supervision is used to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans collaboratively.

With parent consent, the company works closely with schools to prepare children for classroom environments. The approach focuses on teaching skills like following directions, participating in group activities, transitioning between tasks, and interacting with peers and teachers to build confidence and independence.

The business operates from Monday to Friday between 08:30 and 17:30, with Saturday and Sunday closed. Appointments are scheduled around a fixed weekly schedule to ensure consistency for both staff and families in the various service areas.

The mission is to empower children with autism to reach their full potential through ABA therapy. The company is dedicated to supporting families, fostering independence, and promoting positive behaviors in both home and school environments to help every child achieve their goals.

The business is owned and clinically led by Elisa Cantu, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA). Every program is overseen by a BCBA to ensure high-quality, ethical care and ongoing clinical supervision for all services.

The name emphasizes real-world learning, family involvement, and lasting positive outcomes. It aims to create a foundation for success both at home and in the community, striving to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children with autism and their families.

The feeding therapy is behaviorally based and designed for children, adolescents, and adults with a limited diet, difficulty with new foods, or stress at mealtimes. Plans are built around each person's medical history and can be delivered alongside physicians, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists.

Learning does not stop at home; RBTs assist families in community settings to help children practice skills in real-world environments. These sessions focus on communication, social interaction, safety, and independence in places like parks, stores, and other community settings.
