Overview
At this Sugar Land clinic, young children with autism receive center-based ABA therapy, along with diagnostic evaluations and an after-school program focused on social skills. It's one location of Behavioral Innovations, a BCBA-led group that started in Texas in 2000 and has since grown to more than 100 centers across six states. Families come from Sugar Land and the wider Southwest Houston area, including Missouri City, Richmond, and Spring.
A good fit for southwest Houston parents of toddlers through early-elementary kids with autism who are looking for full-time, in-center ABA and a place that also handles diagnostic testing.
Each child gets a one-on-one plan designed by Board Certified Behavior Analysts and run day to day by Registered Behavior Technicians, with the team emphasizing assent-based, compassionate care and keeping parents involved.
You'll reach out to the admissions team first to confirm insurance coverage and get enrolled; once started, in-center ABA usually fills 20 to 40 hours a week, while evaluations for kids under 10 are booked as their own separate visits.
The people
Team includes 4 BCBAs.
