Overview

Autism therapy and services in Houston

Tucked into Houston's Heights neighborhood, The Lily Center is a small ABA practice focused exclusively on children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and related developmental disabilities. Clinic-based sessions are the primary setting, with limited availability for home, school, and community work arranged case by case. The service menu covers behavioral and language assessment, direct ABA therapy, social skills groups, school consultation, and BCBA supervision.

Best for

Children who need early-intervention ABA with strong Verbal Behavior and Natural Environment Training components, and whose families want to be active partners in the therapy process.

Their approach

Sessions blend discrete-trial teaching into play-based natural environment instruction, using a Verbal Behavior framework to keep children motivated. Every program starts with a formal assessment and is individualized from the ground up, so kids are working toward goals that actually match where they are.

What to expect

To get started, families submit an insurance verification form; the billing team checks eligibility and benefits within about seven business days. The center bills as an out-of-network provider and can pursue single case agreements when needed, and services formally begin with a behavioral or language assessment that shapes the individualized treatment plan.
