Overview

Speech Therapy for autism in Cypress

Founded in 2014 by Sarah Lea, M.S., CCC-SLP, this Cypress-based private practice has built its identity around augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) — an area Sarah has worked in since 2011. Clients range from young children to adults living with autism, cerebral palsy, apraxia, Down syndrome, and other complex communication challenges. In-person sessions happen at the Mound Road clinic in Cypress; telehealth is available throughout Texas, often with same-week openings.

Best for

Families navigating AAC for the first time, or those who need a provider experienced with devices like TobiiDynavox and LAMP for a child or adult with autism, cerebral palsy, or apraxia.

Their approach

Each plan centers on individualized, evidence-based intervention — with a particular strength in trialing and programming speech-generating devices (SGDs) — and caregivers are coached throughout so progress continues between sessions.

What to expect

A quick phone call gets the process started: insurance benefits are verified and any required authorization requested, with most families seen for an initial evaluation within one to two weeks; Medicaid authorization involves the child's pediatrician and may take a bit longer.
