In early 2017, Cole Academy will open its eighth location in the North Houston area and bring services for children who have been diagnosed with autism or behavioral or developmental issues. At 16431 Mueschke Road, Cypress, the new location will also feature a Cole Pediatric Therapy Center to provide speech, physical and occupational therapy. Cole Academy has been providing this type of therapy for 16 years in Houston. Senior Sales and Marketing Director Jenny Eastridge said this expansion has been part of the company's growth plan for some time. "We have always looked at going into Cypress and have a lot of patients that live in that Cypress area," she said. "This will be a more convenient location for them to go to." 281-290-4411. www.colehealth.com
