Overview

Autism Diagnosis & Assessment in Dallas

A team of Licensed Psychologists and Licensed Specialists in School Psychology based in Dallas, Compass Psychological Associates conducts psychological and developmental evaluations for children from birth through age 21. All assessments are now delivered via telehealth, opening the practice to families throughout Texas. Their work spans ADHD testing, IQ and achievement evaluations, special education eligibility determinations, developmental assessments, and more — with particular depth in serving children in foster care.

Best for

Texas families who need a thorough written evaluation — especially for foster care, special education eligibility, or developmental concerns — and require statewide virtual access rather than an in-person clinic.

Their approach

Evaluations are completed entirely via telehealth, removing geographic barriers for families across the state. Written reports typically come back within about 10 days of the assessment, and expedited turnaround is possible when time is short.

What to expect

To get started, families or referring professionals submit an online referral form or reach the team by email at referrals@compasspsych.com or by calling 214-824-8878. The practice accepts Superior Foster Care (STAR Health/Cenpatico) and private pay on the date of service; private insurance is not currently accepted.
