Autism & behavioral support: Dallas schools, approved providers and TEFA

Schools reporting special-education services, specialized day programs in Dallas and Collin counties, and approved providers offering autism support or behavioral therapy. 19 schools and 57 approved providers in the Dallas area match.

Where this comes from. Whether a school takes TEFA comes from the Texas Education Freedom Accounts participating-school finder (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), which we checked on October 12, 2026. Enrollment, grades and religious affiliation come from the NCES Private School Survey (U.S. Department of Education). Neither source publishes tuition, so confirm current tuition and fees with the school directly.

What the account can pay for

Behavioral therapy and autism support from approved providers
Speech and occupational therapy alongside school
Specialized tuition: a Dallas ISD resident with a mainstream IEP is funded at $16,757
Assistive technology and communication devices inside the 10% technology cap

A therapy can be billed to the account only if insurance, Medicaid or another public program isn't paying for it. Tutors have to meet the Comptroller's credential rules. Everything the account covers →
