Play and Shared Activities Child-Led, Play-Based ABA Therapy in Austin
Early Autism Care Grounded in Science, Connection, and Play
Elevated Kids provides child-led, play-based ABA therapy for young children diagnosed with Autism, ages 0–8, throughout Austin and surrounding communities.
Our Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) approach brings behavioral and developmental science together through play, relationships, and everyday routines. We get to know your child’s strengths, interests, and ways of communicating, and partner with your family to shape goals that matter in daily life.
We work with children in their homes, preschools, daycares, and community settings, embedding care in the places and experiences already part of their day.

Learning Within Your Child’s Everyday Life
A favorite song, a game with a sibling, snack time, or getting ready to go outside can become an opportunity to connect, communicate, and learn.
Our clinicians join your child’s activities and thoughtfully embed teaching within the experience. Your child’s interests help guide the interaction, while the clinician brings developmental understanding and intentional support.
ABA Embedded Into Everyday Life
Young children learn best through play, relationships, and meaningful daily experiences. That’s why our therapists work with children during daily routines. These routines and activities are already part of their everyday lives.
We support children during:
Play and Shared Activities
Daily Routines and Transitions
Communication and Connection
Community Outings and Experiences
Preschool and Daycare Experiences
Family Routines at Home
When moments feel challenging, we consider what your child may be communicating and what support they need. We work alongside families to support comfort, co-regulation, communication, and coping in developmentally responsive ways.
Care Shaped Around Your Child
We begin with your child’s strengths, interests, and developmental needs, and work with your family to shape goals that matter in everyday life.
Through child-led play, shared experiences, and familiar routines, we support your child in:
- Communicating in their own ways to share interests, express needs, and make choices
- Exploring play and building connections with family, caregivers, and peers
- Finding comfort through co-regulation and developing ways to communicate feelings and seek support
- Building skills and confidence during everyday moments, such as getting dressed, enjoying a snack, or preparing to go outside
- Expressing preferences, initiating activities, and inviting others into their play
- Exploring preschool and community experiences with support that respects their pace, comfort, and ways of engaging
Our clinicians follow your child’s lead, bringing developmental understanding and intentional teaching into the play and experiences they enjoy. Learning grows through connection, exploration, and shared moments.
Through ongoing observation, learning data, and family feedback, we adapt care as your child grows. Parent coaching is woven throughout our work together, with strategies explored within the routines where your family wants support.
Care in Homes, Preschools, and Community Settings
Care becomes part of your child’s everyday experiences, whether that means building together at home, joining a favorite activity at preschool, or exploring a familiar community space.
When care takes place in preschool or daycare, we collaborate with your family and educators to understand the classroom’s routines and your child’s interests. We support communication, shared play, and connections with peers within activities already happening throughout the day.
Together, we shape support around your child, their relationships, and the experiences that matter to your family.
