Overview
ABA Therapy for autism in Houston
Founded in 2010 and accredited by the Behavioral Health Center of Excellence, this BCBA-owned clinic in Clear Lake brings together clinic-based programs, in-home therapy, and after-school social skills groups under one practice. Children, adolescents, and adults with autism and other developmental or intellectual disabilities are all welcome. Parent and teacher training rounds out a model designed to extend learning beyond the session itself.
Best for
Families near Clear Lake, League City, or Pearland who want BCBA-supervised ABA and the flexibility to choose between a structured center program and sessions at home.
Their approach
Every treatment plan starts with a formal assessment and is built around positive reinforcement, with one-on-one sessions delivered by RBTs under direct BCBA supervision. Electronic data collection tracks progress across communication, social, behavioral, and daily living goals, so plans adjust as the child does.
What to expect
After an initial consultation and assessment, families choose a program format — the in-clinic Connections Program runs Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 3:30 pm, with full-time, half-time, and hourly tuition options; in-home sessions are available 8 am to 4 pm. The team accepts insurance and walks families through understanding their coverage.
