Autism & behavioral support: Fort Worth schools, approved providers and TEFA

The Jane Justin School at Cook Children's Child Study Center and other campuses that told the state they provide special education, alongside approved autism and behavioral therapists. 10 schools and 21 approved providers in the Fort Worth area match.

Where this comes from. We took each school's TEFA status from the Texas Education Freedom Accounts participating-school finder (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts) on October 12, 2026, and its enrollment, staff count and religious affiliation from the NCES Private School Survey (U.S. Department of Education). Tuition isn't reported to either one, so get today's rates from the school itself before counting on an award.

What the account can pay for

Approved behavioral therapy and autism support
Speech and occupational therapy from approved providers
Specialized tuition: a Fort Worth ISD student with a mainstream-setting IEP is funded at $16,794
Assistive technology inside the 10% limit

An approved therapist can be paid from the account only for services that Medicaid, another public program or your health plan isn't already paying for, and tutors must satisfy the Comptroller's credential rules. Everything the account covers →
