Who We Are

The Autism Treatment Center of Texas (ATC) is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping individuals with autism and related developmental needs thrive throughout their lives as they learn, play, work, and live in their communities. Founded in 1976, ATC brings nearly five decades of experience supporting individuals and families across Texas through autism-specific services grounded in dignity, compassion, and opportunity.

ATC serves individuals beginning as young as age three and continuing through adulthood, offering a coordinated continuum of supports that evolve with each person’s goals and needs. With locations in Dallas, Fort Worth, and San Antonio, ATC provides consistent, year-round services — including supports available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — for individuals and families who rely on stability and continuity of care.

ATC’s impact is powered by a dedicated workforce of more than 240 employees, including educators, clinicians, direct support professionals, and administrative staff. Together, they deliver a comprehensive portfolio of programs including a Texas Education Agency–certified educational program for children and young adults, community-based residential services for adolescents and adults, adult day and vocational programs, and outpatient therapies such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech therapy, and occupational therapy.

As autism prevalence and service needs grow across the state, ATC remains committed to delivering high-quality, consistent services while strengthening outcomes and ensuring that its programs remain responsive to the communities it serves. The organization is guided by the vision of Changing Lives. Building Futures. Through individualized supports and evidence-based practices, ATC seeks to expand opportunity, independence, and quality of life for children, adolescents, and adults with autism and related developmental needs.
