Overview

Autism Diagnosis & Assessment in Plano

A rehabilitation-focused neuropsychology practice in Plano, TX, this clinic evaluates children ages 6–17 for ADHD and autism alongside full cognitive and psychological assessment — while also serving adults up to age 90+. Services extend beyond testing to include speech therapy and counseling for patients managing chronic or neurological conditions. Both in-person visits and telehealth appointments are available at the suite on West Park Blvd.

Best for

School-age children whose families need a detailed neuropsychological evaluation to clarify an ADHD or autism diagnosis and get concrete recommendations for school accommodations and next-step treatment.

Their approach

Every evaluation unfolds across three structured sessions — an intake to tailor the test battery, a testing day that can run several hours, and a feedback meeting where the family reviews results together with the clinician. The team coordinates findings with neurologists, psychiatrists, and school teams so recommendations translate directly into care.

What to expect

The practice accepts Aetna, BCBS, United Healthcare, Optum, UMR, All Savers, and Medicare, and is currently taking new patients; out-of-pocket and out-of-network payment are also options.
