Autism Schools & Special Education in McAllen

McAllen has no autism-specific private school that we could verify, so this page is mostly about making the public route work - and about one right many Rio Grande Valley families do not know they have. If Spanish is the language spoken in your home, your child's evaluation must be conducted in the language most likely to yield accurate information, and you are entitled to interpretation at IEP meetings and to have documents explained in a language you understand. That is federal law, not a district courtesy.
