Overview
Tucked into a clinic on Grant Road, BrightPath Behavior - Cypress brings BHCOE-accredited ABA therapy to families across Northwest Houston and Harris County.

For families whose child still needs a diagnosis, the clinic also offers ADOS-2 assessments for children under five who carry commercial insurance.
Toddlers through school-age children with autism whose families are looking for full-day, center-based ABA in Cypress or Northwest Houston, with active parent training built into the program.
BCBAs write individualized treatment plans centered on play-based, naturalistic ABA delivered in a structured clinic setting. One-on-one sessions are paired with small group work to build communication and school-readiness skills, while ongoing parent coaching helps those gains carry over at home.
The process begins with an online enrollment form and autism diagnosis paperwork, after which a Client Care Coordinator walks families through insurance verification and authorization. Most major commercial plans and Medicaid are accepted, and the clinic can pursue single-case agreements for out-of-network carriers.
