Overview
Action Behavior Centers — ABC Academy (Sugar Land) is a center-based ABA therapy program in Richmond, Texas, serving the greater Houston area. Operating as ABC Academy, this location is specifically designed for school-age children ages 5–12 who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The program offers flexible scheduling including after-school and Saturday hours, making it a practical option for families whose children attend school part- or full-time.
Families in the Houston/Sugar Land area with school-age children (5–12) diagnosed with autism who need ABA therapy that complements or supplements their school schedule.
Therapy follows the ABC model: BCBAs design individualized treatment plans and supervise sessions, while Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) deliver 1:1 therapy using Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) and Natural Environment Teaching (NET). The ABC Academy curriculum emphasizes executive-functioning and school-readiness skills — problem-solving, self-control, social flexibility, organization, and time management — and uses data tracking to guide each child's transition toward increased school participation.
Families start with a clinical consultation to discuss the child's needs; children already receiving ABA at another ABC center can transfer seamlessly without additional insurance paperwork. The site serves children as young as 18 months for autism evaluation support, and families are guided through insurance verification and prior authorization at no cost to them.
