Overview
Autism therapy and services in Frisco
Tucked into the Far North Dallas corridor in McKinney, this multi-disciplinary pediatric clinic runs speech, occupational, physical, and myofunctional therapy out of two suites at the same Medical Center Drive address. An interdisciplinary team of CCC-SLPs, OTRs, and support clinicians collaborate around each child rather than handing families from department to department. Beyond core speech and OT, the clinic offers feeding therapy and specialized programs including The Listening Program and Interactive Metronome.
Best for
North Dallas families who need speech, occupational, or feeding therapy for a child -- particularly those where more than one discipline is involved and a coordinated team approach matters.
Their approach
Therapy here is built around the whole child, blending speech, OT, PT, and myofunctional work and pulling from tools like SOS Feeding Protocols, Handwriting Without Tears, Astronaut Training Protocol, and Interactive Metronome to address how a child moves, eats, communicates, and learns. Each plan is shaped around the individual child's goals, and parents are brought into that process from the start.
What to expect
Families can kick off the process by submitting an online service request form or calling (469) 850-2909 directly; the clinic is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Suite A handles speech therapy and check-in, while Suite C-1 has a separate exterior entrance for occupational and physical therapy.
