Overview
Autism Diagnosis & Assessment in Dallas
A testing-only practice in Far North Dallas, Illumination Psychological Testing focuses entirely on psychological evaluation — no therapy — for clients ages 20 months through late adulthood. Four licensed psychologists (all also holding school psychology licensure) conduct comprehensive evaluations covering ASD, ADHD, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and a broad range of emotional and behavioral conditions. For autism-specific assessments, the clinic works alongside Spectra Therapies and Evaluations as a referral partner.
Best for
Families looking for a dedicated evaluation clinic — not tied to a therapy practice — that can assess toddlers through adults for autism, ADHD, or co-occurring learning and emotional concerns in a single center.
Their approach
Each evaluator holds both LP and LSSP credentials, blending clinical psychology and educational assessment perspectives. Evaluations are evidence-based and individualized, with a strengths-based, relational style intended to help clients feel understood rather than just tested.
What to expect
The practice is out-of-network and provides a downloadable insurance guide to help families navigate reimbursement; new clients start by submitting an online initial contact form. Office hours are 9am–5pm.
