About Autism Services
Autism Services
Birdville Independent School District serves over 200 students who meet eligibility as a student with an autism spectrum disorder. These students are enrolled throughout the district in many different settings. Education Plans are individualized to the needs of each student.
Autism Evaluations
BISD was one of the first districts in the state to implement the autism team approach to the evaluation process. Our team members consist of the following:
- a school psychologist
- speech pathologist
- educational diagnostician
- a classroom educator
- the student's parent
The school team members have special training in the assessment and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders. The evaluations are scheduled with the parents. Classroom observations, teacher interviews, and any outside reports are important information that the team reviews during the evaluation process.

Recursos Para el Autismo
El Espectro del Autismo
Centro Nacional de Diseminación de Información para Niños con Discapacidades.
Actualmente, el autismo no se considera un diagnóstico único sino un conjunto de trastornos que tienen en común un cierto grado de alteración en tres áreas: déficit de interacción social, problemas de comunicación y un repertorio anormalmente restringido de comportamientos e intereses.
¿Qué es Autismo?
Durante más de 50 años, la misión de la Sociedad de Autismo es mejorar las vidas de todos afectados por el autismo. Visualizamos un mundo donde las personas y sus familias que viven con autismo puedan mejorar su calidad de vida, sean tratados con dignidad y vivan en una sociedad en la que sus talentos y fortalezas sean valorados y apreciados. El Centro de Contacto de la Sociedad de Autismo, Autism Source, proporciona información y referencias por correo electrónico a las comunidades de habla inglés y español.
