Behavior Analysts Suspended for Failing to Report Abuse | Dallas News

Four behavior analysts and an assistant at a Plano autism center face one-year license suspensions after failing to report suspected sexual abuse of a four-year-old by two unlicensed staff members. Though supervisors were alerted, no one contacted law enforcement or child protective services—leading to hospital intervention. Texas law requires mandatory reporting within 24 hours; the suspensions focus solely on this failure, not on guilt or innocence. The accused technicians are nationally licensed, not state-licensed. All suspended professionals can request expedited hearings as the case moves forward with separate criminal investigations.
