Overview
Kristie Bateman opened this Denton practice in 2011, and her son's autism diagnosis is part of what pointed her toward speech-language pathology and, later, a BCBA credential in 2016. That personal history still shapes how the clinic runs: speech therapy, ABA, and occupational therapy delivered by one coordinated team for clients from birth through age 22, covering autism, apraxia, AAC use, language delays, articulation, auditory processing, and fluency. Treatment plans lean on close coordination with families and schools so what a child learns in session carries over at home and in the classroom.
A good fit for Denton-area families who'd rather have one clinic handle speech-language, ABA, and occupational therapy together instead of juggling separate providers, including kids who need AAC or feeding support.
Parents and caregivers get looped into goal-setting and home strategies directly, and the team coordinates with schools to keep progress consistent across settings.
The clinic keeps standard weekday hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., offers both one-on-one and group sessions, and asks families to call ahead to confirm current insurance participation.
