Whitney’s appointment represents a meaningful alignment between the Foundation’s mission and Radiant Autism Center’s dedication to compassionate, clinically excellent Applied Behavior Analysis therapy.
“Families facing an autism diagnosis deserve more than services. They deserve clarity, compassion, and real support,” said Bobby Whitney, Co-Founder of Radiant Autism Center. “Serving on The Owen Foundation board allows me to extend our mission beyond our clinics and advocate for meaningful resources that help children and families truly thrive.”
Expanding Advocacy for Families in North DFW:
Radiant Autism Center was founded in 2020 with the goal of raising the standard of autism care in North Dallas–Fort Worth. What began as one small clinic with two employees has grown into four locations and a team of more than 140 professionals dedicated to helping children build communication, social, and life skills.
Whitney’s involvement with The Owen Foundation reflects Radiant Autism Center’s broader commitment to community leadership. Through this board role, he will contribute to strategic planning, awareness initiatives, and efforts designed to increase access to diagnostic clarity, evidence-based therapy, and family education.
Families navigating autism often face overwhelming challenges, including long waitlists, confusing insurance processes, inconsistent care models, and limited access to high quality providers. Radiant Autism Center was built specifically to address these pain points.
