Innovative ABA Therapy? Meet the great outdoors.

Marigold ABA Therapy Center in Fate, Texas

At Marigold Fate, we believe the best learning happens in nature. That’s why we built a peaceful outdoor oasis where nervous systems regulate. Skill building happens surrounded by pecan trees. And programs combine learning with the natural world for great results. For children with autism, it’s a safe place to explore, practice independence, and play freely without limits.

Inside, our cozy, home-like environment is designed for kids ages two to six and features a sensory gym, warm, peaceful colors, and an indoor play village surrounded by soft twinkle lights. From animals to ancient trees, gardening to group outdoor adventures, therapy feels natural, here.

Learning, naturally.

Here, the great outdoors aren’t separate from therapy, they’re a part of it. For children with autism, nature is relaxing, making it a great place for inspiring curiosity and encouraging confidence. Our clinical teams engage in collaborative sessions that support social growth, emotional regulation, sensory development, and communication in the best environment there is — a natural one.

An environment that feels like home.

When you step into our Fate location, you’ll feel the coziness of our renovated historic house. It’s welcoming, calm, and nestled on an acre of land filled with trees and gardens, ready for outdoor learning and play. From our indoor gym to our outdoor obstacle course and garden, impactful ABA Therapy happens in Fate.

Imaginative play, the treehouse way.

Our outdoor treehouse turns everyday movement into therapy. Rope bridges, net walkways, and climbing features help build coordination, balance, and problem-solving skills. Natural tree stumps create an ever-changing obstacle course, which helps motor skills, confidence, and interaction. And through our Grow It, See It, Taste It program, kids get the chance to garden, connecting sensory exploration to nutrition. From planting to harvesting to tasting, kids experience new textures and tastes along the way.

Equine therapy: compassion in action.

Research shows that working with animals is a great way for children with autism to develop skills, build trust, and foster confidence. At Marigold Fate, we have three miniature donkeys – Charlie, Apollo, and our newest member, Silvia – as a part of our equine therapy program, coming in June. Working with donkeys is calming, and a great way to make connections and develop skills. It’s also joyous to be around these gentle creatures.

Whole program, whole person.

At Marigold, we combine ABA, occupational therapy, speech development, academics, and outdoor learning to create a day that supports the whole child — social, emotional, physical, and academic.

Programs

We believe in early intervention. That’s why we specialize in children 18 months to 10 years old. Our individualized programs weave chosen therapies throughout the day for flow, variety, and a positive, immersive experience.

Meet our award-winning founder, Karri Wilson.

Happy kids happen here. Hear from our parents.

Ms. Karri, we wanted to share our son's recent achievements. He received 1st place in UIL, competed for the first time in a Jitsu competition, and consistently earned great grades. I want to thank you and your staff for helping him grow and be the boy that he is now. I’m a proud mom
