Overview

Autism therapy and services in Houston

One of the country's largest BCBA-led ABA networks, Behavioral Innovations has been running autism therapy programs since 2000 — starting with a single Texas office and now spanning 100+ centers across six states. The Houston Heights clinic sits at 900 West 34th Street in northwest Houston and accepts children from 18 months through age 10. Beyond standard ABA therapy, the center offers on-site autism evaluations, an after-school social skills program, and a prep track for families waiting to begin full ABA.

Best for

Young children (18 months to 10 years) whose families want intensive, BCBA-supervised, center-based ABA with same-location diagnostic support and broad insurance coverage including Medicaid and Tricare.

Their approach

Children receive individualized 1:1 therapy plans, with BCBA oversight and weekly hours typically ranging from 20 to 40 depending on the child's goals. Parent training is woven into the program rather than offered as a standalone add-on.

What to expect

Reach the intake team by phone at (855) 782-7822 or online; the center bills most major insurance plans and handles authorization. The clinic runs Monday through Friday, 8 am to 6 pm, and can arrange autism evaluations through dedicated psychologists on the same campus.
