Overview
Autism Diagnosis & Assessment in McKinney
Tucked off Eldorado Parkway in McKinney, Behavioral Evaluation Services of Texas (BEST) is a private psychological practice that covers the full arc from initial evaluation to ongoing therapy for children as young as 2.5 and adults through age 65. Their licensed psychologists and psychological associates conduct ASD assessments, ADHD evaluations, academic testing, and more — synthesizing history, lived experience, and objective test data rather than leaning solely on checklists or self-report. Most major insurances are accepted, and appointments are usually available within a week.
Best for
Families in North DFW who need a thorough, insurance-covered ASD evaluation or psychological assessment for a child or adolescent, and want clinicians who can also provide follow-on therapy once a diagnosis is in hand.
Their approach
Rather than relying on a single questionnaire or screening tool, each evaluation combines personal history, test data, and clinical observation to build a diagnosis with a concrete, individualized treatment plan. The team draws on more than 30 years of combined experience across diverse clinical settings, including bilingual and international contexts.
What to expect
Most testing — including ASD evaluations — is covered by insurance; academic testing runs $500 out-of-pocket, and CareCredit is accepted. Same- or next-week scheduling is typical, and telehealth is available alongside in-person visits.
