Overview

Autism Diagnosis & Assessment in Plano

Founded in 2013, CPST Texas is a licensed-psychologist-led practice running twelve clinics across the state — DFW locations in Plano, Southlake, Rockwall, Prosper, Fort Worth, Duncanville, Frisco, Mansfield, and Dallas, plus Houston, Gun Barrel City, and McAllen. The team conducts comprehensive psychological evaluations for autism (up to age 18), ADHD (ages 5–18 for children; adults also seen), and a range of other developmental and emotional concerns. Both in-person visits and telehealth appointments are available, with slots typically opening within one to two weeks.

Best for

Families who need a timely autism or ADHD evaluation for a child or teen and want a Texas practice with broad insurance coverage and convenient locations across the DFW metro and beyond.

Their approach

Each assessment is performed by a licensed psychologist using standardized testing alongside a thorough clinical interview, producing a written report with clear diagnostic findings and next-step recommendations. The practice deliberately built its scheduling model around speed — getting families answers in weeks rather than months.

What to expect

Appointments can be booked online and are usually available within one to two weeks; virtual and in-clinic options are offered at all stages. After testing is complete, the evaluating psychologist prepares a detailed report covering diagnostic impressions and specific care recommendations.
