Behavioral Therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis is the scientific approach to understanding and teaching human behavior. ABA Therapy utilizing a natural environment and play-based approach is highly effective in helping children on the Autism Spectrum learn to interact with a world that is often confusing and overwhelming for them. A diagnosis is required for this service.

Testimonials
Our Leadership
Miranda Dodson
Founder & ASD Mom
As a parent of an autistic child, I know first-hand the overwhelming feelings that can accompany the news that your child learns differently and processes the world uniquely. With time, education and community... I came to learn that neurodiverse brains have a lot to teach us "normies" about the human experience.
I am dedicated to helping autistic children and their families connect, learn and thrive!
I am a wife and mother of 4, who loves making music, cooking and eating yummy food and delighting in moments of beauty.

A note from Alyssa:
"I am a proud mom of two boys ages 4 and 10 years old. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family. My hobbies include taking trips to the beach, tackling home improvement projects, and researching/reading about various topics. I have been in the ABA field for over 3 years and have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know all of our learners and families at TAG Learning Center. I have a passion for ABA and I enjoy seeing that passion throughout my amazing TAG team! I love being able to work with a group of people that share the same passion.

Erin Shipley
Billing and Intake Manager
Howdy there! I'm a proud Texan, born and raised, and I have no plans of leaving this great state anytime soon...unless it's for a well-deserved vacation, in which case you can sign me up!
At 35 years old, I'm incredibly grateful to be a mother to a beautiful, intelligent, and spirited little princess who brightens my mornings and occasionally challenges me in the evenings (in the best way possible, of course!). I also have a 14-year-old furry baby who is my constant shadow and the best big brother anyone could ask for.
I joined the ABA community a little over 2 years ago, leveraging my insurance industry experience to assist families in accessing therapy for their loved ones. I can't express how fulfilling it has been to be part of this journey and to have found a new team to grow and learn with.
