Overview

Speech Therapy for autism in Bellaire

A solo pediatric practice run by Anna Ray, MA, CCC-SLP, serving Houston families with young children from birth through age 5. Sessions happen in the family's home or over telehealth, and parents take an active role — Anna coaches caregivers alongside the child so that communication strategies carry into everyday routines. The practice takes a neurodiversity-affirming stance: no forced eye contact, no compliance-based goals, and openness to AAC when a child needs an alternative path to expression.

Best for

Parents of infants or toddlers in the Houston area who want early intervention from a single dedicated therapist — especially those navigating language delay, apraxia of speech, or an autism-related communication profile.

Their approach

Every session pairs caregiver and child together, with Anna teaching the strategies in real time rather than working behind a closed door. The underlying idea is that communication grows from relationship, so the 30–60 minutes of formal therapy matters far less than the dozens of daily moments — bath time, car rides, meals — where parents can apply what they've learned.

What to expect

Getting started is low-pressure: a free 15-minute call lets families decide whether it's a good fit, and a $50 standardized screening (ages 1–6, in-person) is available before committing to a full evaluation. The practice is private pay only, but Anna can discuss referrals when her scope or schedule isn't the right match.
