Overview
Speech Therapy for autism in Houston
Pediatric speech and language therapy comes to your front door with this Houston-area practice — every session happens in the child's own home rather than a clinic. A bilingual, ASHA-certified SLP-owner leads the team alongside a second supervising bilingual SLP and eight SLP-Assistants, covering language, articulation, oral placement, fluency, social-pragmatic, and voice goals. Medicaid is accepted, and a second private-pay option is available for families who need it.
Best for
Houston-area families whose children need in-home pediatric speech therapy, including bilingual Spanish-English households and kids with special needs who thrive when therapy comes to them.
Their approach
Sessions lean on positive reinforcement, and parents receive a home program designed around their actual schedule so practice between visits stays realistic. Evaluations are formal and drive individualized weekly treatment plans.
What to expect
Call the main office number (713-904-3444) and ask for Mariel Cortez — she handles intake personally, coordinates the physician referral, and walks insurance authorization through before scheduling the first home visit. Office staff are available Tuesday through Thursday, 10 am to 2 pm.
