Julian's House Day Habilitation Center

Julian's House is a day program on Telge Road in Cypress for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), autism and similar conditions. It is licensed by the state as an Individualized Skills and Socialization (ISS) center, and it aims to create a secure, engaging setting that feels like home. The program works on communication, social behavior, self-care and daily living, and partners with local businesses so clients can volunteer in the community. Families say their sons and daughters look forward to going, have made friends, and enjoy field trips, bowling, movies and the large outdoor property; one parent also mentions staff turnover and wanting more communication with parents. Julian's House accepts the Texas HCS, TxHmL and CLASS waivers and private pay.

Program goals include daily living and self-help skills, social interaction and conversation, communication and self-expression, leisure skills, fitness, technology, self-care, health and hygiene, and money management. Each month brings arts and crafts, games, music, dance and community outings, and clients volunteer with partner businesses. Families mention field trips, bowling, movies and time outdoors on the property.

Julian's House is at 16435 Telge Rd, Cypress, TX 77429, and is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. It serves people 15 and older with a primary diagnosis of intellectual or developmental disability or cognitive delay who can walk and transfer on their own and are free of aggressive behavior. A parent, guardian or support coordinator fills out an application, followed by an interview; payment is private pay (price varies by level of need) or the HCS, TxHmL or CLASS waivers, and the website also notes that it does not accept Medicaid outside these waivers. To ask about admission or a tour, call Ingrid Crawford at (281) 746-2900.
