Compassionate, Coordinated
Autism Care.

Founded in 2026, TAC grew from more than a decade of clinical, research, and community experience serving autistic individuals and families in San Antonio.

TAC’S Approach

Texas Autism Clinic’s Individualized, Integrated, and Informed approach grew from more than a decade of clinical, research, and community experience in San Antonio by founders Dr. Leslie Neely (UT San Antonio) and Dr. Melissa Svoboda (CHRISTUS Children’s Hospital).

Our Story

Ty’s journey began with years of uncertainty as his family searched for answers and the right support. Determined to find the school and specialized care he needed, his family moved to San Antonio specifically to attend Alamo Heights and work with Dr. Melissa Svoboda.

Our Services

We provide individualized, evidence-based services designed to help children build meaningful skills and greater independence. Our programs are tailored to each child’s unique needs and goals, with a focus on learning, communication, social development, and everyday skills.

Autism affects approximately 1 in 31 children by age 8. Nearly half of families in a Bexar County survey reported ineffective coordination between providers.

TAC’s Approach - Individualized, Integrated, and Informed

Our dynamic care is tailored to each child’s strengths, evolving needs, preferences, and goals — not a standard one-size-fits-all model.

Individualized

We connect providers, services, and families so caregivers do not have to coordinate a fragmented system on their own.

Integrated

Our care is grounded in autism-specific expertise, the best available evidence, clinical data, education, and ongoing innovation.

Informed

Our model is designed to complement existing services while addressing gaps in coordinated, individualized care.

Our Focus

We provide individualized, evidence-informed autism services in a compassionate environment where children and families are empowered to grow, thrive, and achieve lifelong success. Our unique model brings behavioral, medical, psychological, educational, and family support together to create coordinated care tailored to each child’s unique strengths, needs, and goals.

TAC collaborates with local organizations and UT San Antonio to strengthen autism care, training, and innovation.
