nonPareil is a nonprofit post-secondary program for adults on the autism spectrum, and its Houston location is on Richmond Avenue in west Houston. Students attend weekdays in 12-week terms that start in January, April, July and October, and choose from tracks in digital arts, animation, 3D modeling, audio and video production, digital media and performing arts, along with work-readiness skills and social engagement programs. It is a training program rather than a care program, so it suits adults who want to build technical and job skills. Reviewers who attended describe art and animation courses, clubs, social outings and schedules adjusted to individual needs; some say staff vary and that not every student is engaged, and one compares it to an adult day program with IT and art classes.

Tracks include digital arts, animation, 3D modeling, audio and video production, digital media and entertainment arts, and performing arts, with industry certifications in some tracks.
