Overview

Autism therapy and services in Richmond

Action Behavior Centers is a multi-state network of center-based ABA therapy clinics serving children diagnosed with autism, including locations across the Houston, TX metro. Each center delivers individualized applied behavior analysis with BCBA-supervised programming and RBT-implemented sessions, and the organization also provides no-cost autism evaluations (including the ADOS-2) to help families access a diagnosis before starting therapy.

Best for

Families of young children (toddler through early-elementary age) who have or may have an autism diagnosis and want center-based ABA plus diagnostic support.

Their approach

Center-based ABA using positive reinforcement and play-based methods such as Discrete Trial Teaching and Natural Environment Teaching, with goals set and supervised by BCBAs and twice-monthly BCBA-led family guidance for parents.

What to expect

Families complete an online interest form to be matched with a center; a formal autism diagnosis is required before ABA can begin, and ABC offers no-cost evaluations to help obtain one. Care coordination with speech, OT, feeding, and PT can be arranged on-site.
