Cortica’s 8,400-square-foot Plano Whole-Child Care Center is set to open on February 20. According to Cortica, it will be the first of its kind in North Texas.
The center’s holistic care model includes pediatric neurologists and nurse practitioners to offer comprehensive neurodevelopmental evaluations for autism and other conditions, genetic and metabolic testing, nutrition evaluation and medication management.
“We’re excited to provide families in greater Dallas/Fort Worth with coordinated diagnostic, applied behavioral analysis (ABA), developmental therapy, medical, and counseling services,” said Cortica Co-founder and CEO Neil Hattangadi. “At Cortica Plano, families can access high-quality, research-based, and personalized care, all in one place.”
The center will provide in-center and in-home care options for children including individual ABA therapy; age-specific ABA therapy groups for children 18 months to 6 years of age; individual/group occupational, speech-language and music therapy sessions; programs to enhance social and daily living skills; and programs that support children in demonstrating new skills in home, school and community settings.
“Since 2021, our Plano team has used the whole-child Cortica Care Model to support families with transformative, scientifically grounded care,” Hattangadi said in a news release. “We look forward to providing even more North Texas children and families with access to fully integrated autism services through our newly expanded center.”
Cortica is located at 5025 W Park Blvd, Suite 300. According to their website, there is no wait time for morning ABA sessions, major insurances are accepted and medical telehealth is available on Saturdays.
Those interested in attending the grand opening can RSVP online. Throughout February 20, there will be tours available of the center, a ribbon cutting at 4 p.m. with Mayor John Muns and a reception following the ceremony.
