Overview
Autism therapy and services in Austin
Tucked into the Westland Office Park off Bee Caves Road, this Westlake pediatric clinic pairs occupational therapy with speech-language pathology under one roof. A team of therapists builds individualized plans around each child's own goals, whether that's handwriting, motor coordination, feeding, or communication. Two occupational therapists have co-owned and steered the practice since 2009, shaping a clinic culture that leans into play as the main tool for progress.
Best for
Austin-area parents whose child needs help with sensory processing, motor skills, feeding, or speech and social communication, including children on the autism spectrum, will find a fit here.
Their approach
Sessions lean heavily on play rather than drills, backed by staff training in sensory-integration testing, the S.O.S. feeding protocol, PROMPT for motor speech difficulties, and Handwriting Without Tears.
What to expect
Individual therapy is supplemented with small-group offerings, including a feeding program nicknamed Food School, a social-skills group, and bike-riding instruction; call or email the front desk to check current openings and costs for these extras.
