Overview

Speech Therapy for autism in Dallas

Tucked into a child-friendly Dallas studio, this private practice stands out for a credential combination that's genuinely uncommon: the founding clinician holds both the CCC-SLP and Qualified Orofacial Myologist (QOM) designations, giving her the training to treat speech, feeding, and oral muscle function under one roof. With 15-plus years across school, university clinic, and private practice settings, Laura Friedman works with kids from infancy through the school years — and adults — on challenges ranging from childhood apraxia of speech to tongue thrust, picky eating, and language delays. In-person sessions happen at the Dallas office; telehealth is available for select services.

Best for

Kids with childhood apraxia of speech, complex motor-speech or feeding difficulties, or myofunctional concerns whose families want a single, deeply specialized CCC-SLP rather than a rotating staff of generalists.

Their approach

Rather than picking one method and sticking to it, Laura builds each plan from a wide set of evidence-based tools — PROMPT, DTTC, Nancy Kaufman Apraxia System, SOS Feeding Approach, Talk Tools, Beckman Oral Motor, and Social Thinking Concepts among them. Her dual speech-language and myofunctional training means oral muscle issues can be addressed at the same time as speech goals, rather than sequentially.

What to expect

Reach out by phone at (972) 364-7571 or through the online form for a free consultation; Laura follows up with a comprehensive evaluation before writing a personalized treatment plan, and parents are coached on home practice throughout every stage. The practice is out-of-network but provides superbills for insurance reimbursement, and HSA/FSA funds are accepted.
