Need an Autism Diagnosis?

If you think your child may be on the autism spectrum, finding a qualified, caring provider near you is essential. Therapy For Life knows how vital early autism diagnosis and intervention are for children with autism to reach their full potential. We offer autism assessments in Houston so families can get answers and direction.

What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference that affects how a person communicates, socializes, and interacts with the world around them. Symptoms can vary widely, but some common signs include:

Trouble with back-and-forth conversation or social play
Repetitive behaviors, intense fixations, or strong attachment to routines
Unusual sensory responses (hypersensitive or undersensitive to sounds, textures, etc.)
Delays in speech development, motor skills, or learning milestones

Why an Accurate Autism Diagnosis Matters

Personalized Support: A diagnosis opens doors to specialized therapies and school services for your child.
Understanding Your Child: A diagnosis gives you a framework for understanding your child’s strengths and challenges.
Community: Connecting with other families and resources in the autism community is support and guidance.
