About Texas Young Autism Project - Houston

TYAP (tee•ap) is the original and first Applied Behavior Analysis treatment program for children with Autism in Texas. It began when Dr. Gerald Harris saw the increasing numbers of children in the Houston area who were being identified with Autistic Disorder and knew that there were no treatment services available for them. Dr. Harris had focused his Clinical Psychology practice on helping children in need and understood the importance of helping this underserved community. A family support group had formed in Houston, Families for Effective Autism Treatment (FEAT), and coordinated with Dr. Harris and Dr. O. Ivar Lovaas to establish an ABA treatment program for children with Autism in Houston.

I tried to reach out to them for my child. They got information and told me they will call back in 3-5 days. After more than 10 days I called them again and...

TYAP is a great place to work and grow as a professional. I am a PhD intern at TYAP and I have learned a great amount regarding ABA and how to apply it to the diverse clients. The work environment is professional supportive and productive. The clients are all a joy to work with and assist in the growth of therapeutic skills. The supervisors also influence the growth of therapeutic skills and are always open to questions. I enjoy working at TYAP and making a difference in the lives of the clients.

This has been a great company to work for. They are very understanding when life happens.. The clients are really cared for. It is not all about making sure the money is coming in. They truly care about the progress each client makes and help that is given. There are lots of opportunity for growth and furthering your education which is always a plus.

I found Texas Young Autism Project on Indeed where I wanted to find employment in a field where I can utilized my degree in Psychology. In my previous employment I was a teacher assistant. I am currently employed at TYAP and going on three years in may. I have already decided to have my practicum be conducted at TYAP. ABA is utilized in the field of Autism and this field is constantly changing and growing. The company provides you with the opportunities to grow and has the staff to help you succeed in growing within the company. I love how the psychologists visit the clinic as it is always encouraging to see them. It is nice to have them visit the clinic to check in and briefly chat with us as to me this shows compassion and caring. I am excited that we will be having health insurance as it is important for me to have health insurance through work. It is a good feeling when the clients love to interact with you and when they greet you. As a doctoral student in clinical psychology TYAP is providing me the ample opportunities to have the experience in clinical and neuropsychology field as I am going to school to be a clinical neuropsychologist.

TYAP had pros and cons like any workplace. High employee turn over rate is one. Because of this the clients suffer and have inconsistency. There were many times we had to be doubled up with clients meaning they did not receive their 11. Pay was also low. How can a company expect the therapists to provide the best therapy possible if they cant even provide for themselves... However the clients are truly amazing to work with.I absolutely loved working with them and miss them. TYAP did give me great experience in the ABA field which I am still apart of at a different clinic. I hope they improve their work environment so the clients can truly grow and be all they can be.

I loved my time working here as an ABA Therapist. TYAP has managed to create a positive familial environment for clients and employees alike. As a former employee I assure you that you couldnt find a better place for your children to be treated and loved as though they were your own.

This is undoubtedly one of the best employment experiences I have had. During my occupation within this institution I have been provided many opportunities and taught A LOT Due to ethical issues I am unable to note particular incidences of positive behavior modification. However I can personally attest for the quality of the service provision offered by TYAP practitioners. Keep fighting the good fight.
