Focus Initiative

We specialize in training individuals with social understanding difficulties through innovative programs tailored to meet their unique needs.  We offer weekly social understanding and life preparation classes for groups of students from 5 years old through young adulthood.  For individuals who are not yet ready for participation in a group class, we provide one-on-one training designed to address specific areas of concern.

We also offer consultation services to parents of individuals with autism spectrum disorders and other social-cognitive deficits to assist them in planning and implementing appropriate educational programs, school-based and private interventions.  We provide guidance in understanding and navigating the special education system and are available to attend ARD/IEP meetings at the parents' request.

School consultations and teacher trainings are also an important aspect of our business.  We contract with several Houston-area school districts to provide staff in-services, case-by-case consultations and large group trainings on a variety of topics related to autism spectrum disorders. 

Our 10-member staff includes professional educators with extensive training, advanced degrees and specializations and a passion for working with children and adults with autism spectrum disorders and other related difficulties.
