Our website includes an extensive Autism Resources section. There you will find resources including an array of information about autism, evidence-based intervention practices, navigating the special education process, and links to tools and suggestions you can start using today.
This area also includes our downloadable Local Autism Resource Guide. You can use the guide to find out about supports and opportunities in the Lubbock and neighboring areas, including medical providers, specialists, social programming, community events, and family support resources.

Evaluations/Diagnosis
Families
The Burkhart Center is now able to offer Comprehensive Developmental Evaluations. Our goal is to work with families to determine the best route to go in seeking a diagnosis as well as collaborating with your child's school if they are in or being considered for Special Education Services.

School Evaluations
Many schools are currently overwhelmed and understaffed to complete evaluations for special education. Our team of evaluators who are Licensed Specialists in School Psychology, along with students studying to become credentialed can work with schools to help.

Research
Data collected as part of the intake and assessment components of the services provided to you and your child will provide information to possibly be used for research purposes. If you choose not to include your information as part of the research component of our project, you can still receive services through our clinic, but we will exclude your information from statistical analysis and retroactive records review. For more information about your data and how it will be used, contact: burkhart.educ@ttu.edu.
