Overview
Autism Diagnosis & Assessment in Austin
Behind the William Cannon offices of Austin Center for Therapy and Assessment sits a team built around one core service: figuring out what's actually going on for a child or adult who's struggling. Doctoral-level psychologists and licensed associates handle the testing, backed by a bench of psychometrists who run much of the hands-on administration, and the practice has been doing this kind of work in South Austin since 2007. Autism, ADHD, and learning differences make up the bulk of what gets evaluated here, though the age range stretches well past childhood into adult neuropsychological work. Counseling runs alongside the testing side for families who want ongoing support once an evaluation wraps up.
Best for
A good fit for South Austin families chasing down an autism, ADHD, or learning-difference diagnosis for a school-age kid, though the practice also takes on teens and adults.
Their approach
Rather than handing testing off to a single clinician, ACTA pairs its licensed psychologists with dedicated psychometrists who administer much of the battery, then folds cognitive, academic, and personality data into one combined read on the client.
What to expect
Budget for a diagnostic interview and at least one testing appointment, with self-pay evaluation sessions landing between $175 and $200; openings vary by clinician, and at least one evaluator was building a waitlist ahead of an October start date.
