Best for

Children aged 2 and up whose families want the flexibility to choose center-based, in-home, in-school, or virtual ABA — particularly those covered by major commercial insurance or Tricare.

Their approach

Each child is matched with a BCBA-supervised therapy team that designs an individualized plan around the child's strengths and the family's stated priorities; BCBAs review daily session data weekly to fine-tune teaching strategies and decide between focused or comprehensive intensity levels.

What to expect

Getting started means contacting Client Services by phone or online inquiry to confirm coverage in the Houston area, after which a BCBA conducts an assessment and builds the treatment plan; the provider accepts major commercial insurers and Tricare and handles insurance authorization.
