Overview
Autism therapy and services in Katy
An independently owned clinic in Fulshear, TX, this practice brings together ABA therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy for children from 18 months through age 6. BCBAs, SLPs, and OTs coordinate care under one roof rather than operating as separate siloed services. The Fulshear location at 28111 South Firethorne Rd draws families from across the Katy and Brookshire area as well.
Best for
Families of toddlers and preschoolers who want coordinated early-intervention services across multiple disciplines without juggling multiple providers.
Their approach
A multidisciplinary team — BCBA, SLP, and OT — builds each child's treatment plan together, so goals across behavior, communication, and motor development stay aligned. Parent training with the BCBA is built into the program, giving caregivers concrete strategies to use outside clinic hours.
What to expect
After an initial call, families tour the clinic and then complete a BCBA-led assessment using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales; the SLP and OT may join for a single combined session. The team writes a treatment plan, submits it to insurance, and will file appeals if coverage is denied before services begin.
