Overview
Autism Diagnosis & Assessment in San Marcos
San Marcos and Buda families dealing with concerns around autism, ADHD, dyslexia, or giftedness can turn to this Central Texas psychology practice for a full evaluation from start to finish. The clinical team pairs licensed psychologists and a licensed psychological associate with a speech-language pathologist, covering both testing and ongoing therapy for kids, teens, and adults. Appointments happen either at one of the two office locations or over a secure telehealth connection.
Best for
A good fit for parents who want a single provider to handle an entire autism or developmental evaluation, from testing through the final report, without bouncing between specialists.
Their approach
Rather than splitting testing across a team, one licensed clinician manages your case end to end, running tools such as the ADOS-2, drafting the write-up, and spending a full 90 minutes walking you through the findings afterward.
What to expect
Plan on paying out of pocket for a comprehensive evaluation, typically in the $2,250 to $5,500 range, since insurance isn't accepted for assessment work here, though therapy visits can be billed through Aetna or BCBS of Texas; ask about the sliding-scale option if cost is a barrier.
