Overview
ABA Therapy for autism in Houston
A family-owned practice with more than 25 years serving children with autism, Constellation Kids runs a Houston clinic off Red Oak Drive while also sending therapists directly into homes across greater Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Austin. Beyond ABA, the same organization delivers occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy through its school-based division — making it one of the few Houston providers covering that full range under one roof. Accepted insurance includes Aetna, BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Medicaid.
Best for
Families looking for flexible delivery — center visits, in-home sessions, or school-based support — particularly those who need help navigating insurance authorization before services begin.
Their approach
BCBA-supervised programs are carried out by trained Behavior Technicians using both naturalistic environment teaching and discrete trial training, with intensity reaching up to 40 hours per week; parent training is built into every plan, not offered as an add-on.
What to expect
The intake team handles insurance verification and prior authorization before a start date is set; the site states no wait list is currently in place and that therapists are available to begin promptly after authorization clears.
