Overview
Autism Diagnosis & Assessment in Houston
Anchored in Houston's River Oaks neighborhood since 2004, this licensed-psychologist-led practice covers a wide diagnostic territory — autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning disabilities, neuropsychological concerns, and personality assessment — for clients from early childhood through adulthood. Forensic evaluations and entrance-exam accommodations testing round out the scope. The four-clinician team works out of a single River Oaks Tower suite, keeping caseloads manageable rather than running volume-driven throughput.
Best for
Houston families who want a licensed psychologist — not a supervised technician — to lead their child's or teen's autism or psychoeducational evaluation, and who can self-pay or pursue out-of-network reimbursement independently.
Their approach
Before any testing is scheduled, clinicians hold a detailed intake consultation to map the presenting concerns and determine which instruments are actually warranted — ADOS-2 among them — rather than defaulting to a fixed battery for every referral.
What to expect
The practice is private-pay only; a detailed superbill is issued so families can submit to their insurer for possible reimbursement, though fee schedules aren't listed publicly. A results meeting with the evaluating psychologist follows roughly three weeks after the last testing session, with expedited turnaround available on request.
