Overview

Speech Therapy for autism in Friendswood

Based in Friendswood near the Bay Area, SaSS is a faith-rooted private practice covering speech-language pathology and occupational therapy for clients from early childhood through adulthood. The team of SLPs, SLP-As, and OTs treats autism, AAC needs, swallowing disorders, apraxia, and a wide range of pediatric developmental concerns. Families are active partners throughout — not just observers — and every treatment plan is built around evidence-based strategies tailored to that client's goals.

Best for

Children and families looking for a clinician-rich, faith-centered clinic where AAC, neurodiversity-affirming care, and OT are all available under one roof in Galveston County.

Their approach

Clinicians walk families through the reasoning behind every evaluation tool, goal, and treatment strategy, so parents leave each session knowing why something is being targeted — not just what. Coordination with referring physicians and school teams keeps the care plan coherent across settings.

What to expect

Call (281) 824-1000 to get started; staff verify your insurance benefits before booking the first evaluation, and a downloadable intake packet on the website lets you complete paperwork in advance.
