What is the Children’s Autism Program (CAP) in Texas?
The Children’s Autism Program (CAP) in Texas provides limited ABA therapy and parent training for eligible children. It is not a paid caregiving program, and most families need additional services beyond CAP.
The Children’s Autism Program (CAP) is a Texas state program that offers ABA therapy, parent training, and autism-specific support for children.
However, coverage is limited:
- Up to 180 hours per year
- Up to 720 hours total over a lifetime
Because of these limits, CAP is often used as supplemental support, not a full therapy solution.
It’s also important to know that CAP:
- Does not provide paid caregiving
- Does not replace Medicaid or insurance-based ABA therapy
Many families combine CAP with other services, such as Texas Medicaid coverage for ABA therapy or additional funding options like Texas autism grants and financial resources, to meet their child’s needs.
