Overview
Speech Therapy for autism in Benbrook
A physician referral, a doctor's diagnosis of autism at age three, and years without spoken words for the founder's own brother are the reason this practice exists at all. That family history shaped Talking Tadpoles into a speech and feeding therapy provider for children birth through 21, now spread across five Dallas-Fort Worth clinics including this one in Benbrook. Kids with autism, Down syndrome, and other developmental delays make up a large share of the caseload, with sessions generally lasting around 30 minutes and happening once or twice weekly.
Best for
A solid option for families around Benbrook and southwest Fort Worth who want speech or feeding therapy close to home and covered by common insurance plans, including for children on the autism spectrum.
Their approach
Rather than running every child through the same program, clinicians pull from specific protocols as they fit: PECS and LAMP support communication goals, SOS and AEIOU guide feeding work, and SCERTS shapes autism-focused care. Each plan is built around how a child actually functions at home, school, and with friends.
What to expect
Start with a free consultation by phone or in person before any commitment; from there, feeding therapy always needs a doctor's referral, and speech therapy needs one too if insurance is footing the bill. A full evaluation wraps up with a written report inside roughly two weeks, and billing runs directly through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, United Healthcare, TriWest/Tricare, Oscar, and a handful of Medicaid managed-care plans.
