Overview
ABA Therapy for autism in The Woodlands
Serving the Houston metro and The Woodlands, Action Behavior Centers delivers center-based and in-home ABA therapy exclusively to children with autism, from toddlers as young as 18 months through age 13. Centers are purpose-built with one-on-one therapy rooms, group play areas, quiet nooks, and activity spaces — all designed around the sensory needs of kids on the spectrum. Families can also access no-cost autism evaluations (ADOS-2) for children ages 18 months to 6 years before starting services.
Best for
Children aged 18 months to 13 years with an autism diagnosis whose families need structured, BCBA-supervised ABA covered by commercial insurance — either at a center or in the home.
Their approach
Therapy combines positive reinforcement with play-based methods including Discrete Trial Teaching and Natural Environment Teaching, with individualized goals set by a BCBA. RBTs carry out daily sessions under BCBA oversight, and twice-monthly Family Guidance meetings give parents concrete strategies to build on skills outside of session.
What to expect
A confirmed autism diagnosis is required to begin; ABC can provide the evaluation itself at no cost. After submitting an online interest form, families are matched to a center, schedule a tour, and go through insurance verification — ABC works with 120-plus commercial insurers but does not accept Medicaid in Texas.
