Overview
Speech Therapy for autism in Fort Worth
Two speech-language pathologists make up this Fort Worth practice, led by owner Cara Rice, M.S., CCC-SLP. They see kids from 12 months on up, working through childhood apraxia, late talking, stuttering, and receptive and expressive language delays. Autistic children are part of the caseload here too, including kids who communicate through gestalt language processing. Everything runs private pay rather than through insurance billing.
Best for
A good fit for Fort Worth and Burleson families who want speech therapy built around their child's own interests, including autistic kids and gestalt language processors.
Their approach
Play leads every session rather than a fixed curriculum, and therapy shifts to match what each child responds to. Cara brings specialized training in Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing for apraxia cases, and the team leans on Natural Language Acquisition principles when working with gestalt language processors.
What to expect
A free phone consult comes first, so families can talk through concerns before committing to anything. From there, a full evaluation combines standardized testing, a parent interview, and observed play, and ongoing sessions run one-on-one with progress tracked visit to visit. Insurance isn't billed directly, but the practice can provide superbills for families to submit on their own for possible reimbursement.
