Any schools in the Dallas area?

Does anyone have any info on schools in the Dallas metroplex area that focus on learning through sensory play?

Thanks.
Most of the schools that I am aware of still have an ABA focus. Starpoint School at TCU is an alternative to public education that I have heard is really good about individualizing strategies for children, but they are not specifically "sensory based." Their website is:

I used to work in a public school one-on-one with a child that was diagnosed with PDD, and he did well with sensory adaptations in the classroom, but you have to have a really good working relationship between your private OT, ISD OT, teacher, and facilitator to get that working well.
Contact FEAT of North Texas - they usually have up-to-date information.
