Overview
Autism therapy and services in Arlington
A younger brother who didn't speak until nearly age seven, after an autism diagnosis at three, is the reason this Arlington clinic exists at all: its founder built Talking Tadpoles around the kind of family-centered support that helped her own family. The Arlington office at 1140 W. Pioneer Pkwy is one of five DFW-area locations offering speech-language, occupational, and feeding therapy to kids from infancy into their late teens. Treatment covers articulation, language, stuttering, swallowing and feeding, sensory processing, and fine and gross motor skills, drawing on structured methods like PECS, LAMP, the SOS feeding approach, and the SCERTS framework for autism support.
Best for
A good fit for DFW-area parents seeking speech, feeding, or occupational therapy for a child with autism, Down syndrome, or another developmental need, from the toddler years through adolescence.
Their approach
Each child's plan grows out of their own evaluation rather than a fixed template, with 30-minute sessions once or twice a week and technique choices, PECS, LAMP, Lidcombe, SCERTS, among them, matched to what that child is working on.
What to expect
Occupational and feeding therapy always require a physician referral, and so does speech therapy if insurance is footing the bill; a free consultation can happen before any of that, and once a screening or full evaluation is done, families get a written report back within roughly two weeks.
