Overview
Speech Therapy for autism in Austin
Speak Freely is a family-run speech-language clinic with locations across the Austin area, including Dripping Springs and Bastrop. The team works with kids from birth through age 18, covering everything from articulation and language delays to feeding and swallowing concerns. Many clients are on the autism spectrum or have Down syndrome, and sessions happen in a house-like space rather than a typical clinical office, with families welcome to sit in.
Best for
Austin-area parents looking for a pediatric speech clinic that also handles feeding therapy and welcomes families to observe sessions firsthand.
Their approach
Therapists lean heavily on parent coaching so skills carry over at home, alongside specialized methods like the SOS feeding approach, Floortime, and DPNS for oral-motor work.
What to expect
Families can get in touch through the clinic's contact page to set up an appointment, and there's an online payment link for handling session costs.
