Overview
Autism therapy and services in Kingwood
Tucked into the Kingwood area of northeast Houston, this specialty clinic serves children and adults with developmental, behavioral, cognitive, and physical disabilities through speech therapy, ABA, occupational therapy, comprehensive assessment, and AAC/assistive technology support. Clinicians work across clinic, school, and home environments, and coordinate with HCS agencies, schools, and insurance payers. The acronym itself signals the mission: Behavior, Readiness, Interventions, and Training for Education Success.
Best for
Families looking for a multi-disciplinary team — SLPs, BCBAs, and OT — who specialize in autism and complex communication needs and can work across home, school, and clinic settings in the Kingwood/northeast Houston area.
Their approach
Therapists combine behavior-analytic frameworks with specialized speech and language techniques, including AAC, assistive technology, and the DuBard Method for childhood apraxia; BCBAs and SLPs collaborate rather than operate in silos. The founding clinician trained directly under Dr. Ivar Lovaas, giving the team a grounding in early intensive behavioral intervention that still shapes how programs are designed.
What to expect
Reach the clinic by phone at (713) 370-0522 or by email at office@britesuccess.com; the office is open Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm. The practice accepts insurance, HCS funding, and private pay.
