Autism: Houston private schools, approved providers & TEFA funding

Schools that report special education services for autism and approved behavioral and autism-support providers. 30 schools and 53 TEFA-approved providers in Greater Houston match.

Verified against two public records. TEFA participation is checked against the Texas Education Freedom Accounts participating-school finder (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), retrieved October 9, 2026. Enrollment, teachers, religious orientation and associations come from the NCES Private School Survey (U.S. Department of Education) (2023-24, or 2021-22 where noted). Tuition is not reported to either — confirm it with the school.

What a TEFA account can pay for

Behavioral therapy and autism support from approved providers
Speech and occupational therapy
Specialized school tuition — the IEP add-on lifts the account to roughly $15,500-$17,700 for regular-campus settings in Houston-area districts, and higher for residential-facility codes
Required technology within the 10% cap

Therapies qualify only when Medicaid, another government benefit or private insurance doesn't already cover them. Tutors have to meet the Comptroller's credential policy. See every category →
