Community and Professional Partnerships

A child's success is a team effort. We help bridge the gap between therapy, school, and other services by collaborating with educators, Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), and Occupational Therapists (OTs). We also offer expert staff training and ongoing consultative support to create a consistent and holistic support system for children with neurodiversities.

Who We Are

Navigating a new diagnosis or the daily challenges of raising a neurodivergent child? At Branch and Beacon, we are here to serve as your family's guiding light and source of hope. We specialize in early intervention (ages 0-6), providing high-quality care that blends the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with the joy of play. This dedicated, one-on-one therapy is provided in the home- where you and your child are most comfortable.

We believe learning blossoms when it's joyful and motivated from within. By following your child's lead, celebrating their unique strengths, and connecting through play, we create natural moments for them to learn, grow, and flourish. Therapeutic goals are tailored to your child’s unique needs to teach communication, build social skills, and replace challenging behaviors with functional, empowering alternatives. We are personally and professionally dedicated to making a lasting, positive impact on your family. To us, you are never just a number; we are partners on your journey, and we are honored to walk it with you.

Our Guiding Lights

Expert BCBAs who serve as beacons of knowledge and compassion on your child's journey

Annie Angel, BCBA Clinical Director at Branch & Beacon ABA Therapy in Austin, Texas

Annie Angel M.S., BCBA, LBA

Founder & Clinical Director

Welcome– I’m so glad you’re here! For more than 12 years, I've had the privilege of working in the field of ABA. I earned my Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and have spent the last 7 years as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) working across home, school, clinic, and community settings. My practice is rooted in a compassionate, whole-child approach that presumes competency. I believe that true progress happens when a child feels safe, understood, and happy. That's why I intentionally incorporate play, sensory integration, and emotional regulation into my practice. As a Level 4 PFA-SBT certified clinician, I focus on understanding what makes your child light up and use those unique interests to build critical new skills in a way that is respectful, fun, and empowering.
