HEMYS autism services

At Houston Empowering Minds Youth Service (HEMYS), we help children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) reach milestone moments through individualized, compassionate care. Our autism services include diagnostic support, evidence-based HEMYS therapy, school readiness programs, insurance navigation assistance, coordination with outside care providers, and Family Guidance. Because no family should have to wait for help, HEMYS offers immediate access to care.

Autism testing & evaluation support

Getting an autism diagnosis is an important step toward helping your child access the right services, including Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) and HEMYS therapy. A diagnosis can give families clarity, answer long-standing questions, and help guide next steps. It also opens the door for school supports and accommodations that recognize your child’s unique strengths and needs.

Evidence-based HEMYS therapy

Find the therapy setting that works best for your family.

Center-based HEMYS therapy takes place in bright, engaging environments led by dedicated therapists. Children learn communication, independence, social interaction, and school readiness skills through individualized, evidence-based strategies. Available nationwide.

This continuation-of-care program supports children who attend school part-time or full-time but could still benefit from additional support. It strengthens school readiness by teaching social flexibility, organization, and emotion regulation. Available in select regions in Arizona and Texas.

HEMYS at Home brings our skilled clinicians into your child’s familiar environment, helping them learn skills that naturally fit into daily routines. Families receive the same evidence-based support with added flexibility and more frequent Family Guidance.

How HEMYS works

Find the therapy setting that works best for your family.

Coordinated care

We partner with speech, occupational, feeding, and physical therapists who can provide sessions directly in our centers. This helps your child receive multiple services in a familiar environment while reducing unnecessary transitions and travel. Ask your child’s BCBA for the list of providers we work with in your area.

Family Guidance

Parents and caregivers are essential partners in HEMYS therapy. Family Guidance sessions, led by your child’s BCBA, occur twice a month and provide practical tools to support your child at home and in everyday routines. These collaborative sessions help families stay informed, confident, and engaged.

Our leadership team

Our clinical council supports and guides Action Behavior’s mission to help children with autism and their families reach milestone moments.
