Overview

ABA Therapy for autism in Cypress

Breakthrough ABA is a pediatric ABA therapy practice based in Cypress, TX, serving the Greater Houston area and beyond. Founded and led by BCBA Heba Salem, the practice delivers individualized, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis services for children with autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, and related behavioral challenges. Services are offered across center-based, home-based, school, and telehealth settings, with comprehensive intake and ongoing BCBA supervision built into every program.

Best for

Families of children ages 18 months to 12 years in the Houston metro area seeking insurance-covered, BCBA-led ABA therapy with flexible delivery options including center, home, and telehealth.

Their approach

Breakthrough ABA uses a six-step service model (Connect, Consult, Assess, Plan, Intervene, Review) grounded in DTT, NET, and reinforcement-based techniques, with treatment plans developed collaboratively with parents by BCBAs and implemented by supervised RBTs. Parent training and ongoing program review are integrated into every client's plan.

What to expect

Families start with a free initial consultation; the intake team then verifies insurance benefits and obtains authorization before a BCBA conducts a formal behavioral and skills assessment. Enrollment paperwork is completed online via the IntakeQ portal, and private-pay options are also available.
