Autism Resources in Laredo, Texas

Laredo sits right on the Rio Grande, a bilingual border city of roughly 255,000 people and the anchor of Webb County. If you are raising an autistic child here, the reassuring news is that Laredo does have real, local providers — several ABA clinics, pediatric speech and occupational therapy practices, and two homegrown parent-led nonprofits. The harder truth is that the deepest specialty services, especially a comprehensive developmental-pediatrician diagnosis and specialized summer camps, are thin locally, and many Laredo families end up making the roughly 150-mile drive to San Antonio for at least part of their child's care. This page lays out what is genuinely here, what is not, and how to bridge the gap — and because Laredo is overwhelmingly Spanish-speaking, we flag where bilingual services matter.
