Overview
ABA Therapy for autism in Houston
Located on Briarpark Drive in Houston's Westchase neighborhood, this center delivers applied behavior analysis for autistic children using a multisensory, center-based setup staffed by BCBAs and RBTs. Alongside in-center sessions, an in-home ABA option extends reach across the wider Houston metro. The same team also provides no-cost ADOS-2 diagnostic evaluations for families who haven't yet secured a formal diagnosis.
Best for
Children between 18 months and 8 years for center-based ABA, or up to 13 for in-home services, whose families in the Westchase and Houston area want BCBA-supervised therapy covered by commercial insurance and built-in parent coaching.
Their approach
Sessions blend Discrete Trial Teaching and Natural Environment Teaching in individualized, play-based formats, with BCBAs leading twice-monthly Family Guidance sessions so caregivers can carry strategies into daily routines. On-site coordination with speech, OT, feeding, and PT providers means families can access complementary services without hunting down separate referrals.
What to expect
Getting started means completing an interest form to be matched with the center; a confirmed autism diagnosis is required before ABA begins, and a no-cost ADOS-2 evaluation is available through the center to support that step. More than 120 commercial insurance plans are accepted; Medicaid is not currently accepted at Texas locations.
