Houston, TX – Blue Sprig Pediatrics, Inc. (“BlueSprig”) announces that it has acquired the assets of West Texas Autism Center, a West Texas based autism therapy provider with two centers in Abilene and San Angelo.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“This acquisition is exciting as we are now able to better serve West Texas families,” said Keith Jones, President and CEO of BlueSprig. “With three centers in the West Texas area, we are uniquely positioned to make a significant positive impact in these communities and many more, as we expand across the West Texas region. As Texas’ largest ABA therapy services provider, we put quality and compassion before all else and believe it is our obligation to do all that we can to support families with autism across the state.”
BlueSprig’s mission is to change the world for children with autism by providing the very best ABA services, investing in research to improve those services, and advocating for resources and vital funding for children on the spectrum.
