Overview
Autism therapy and services in Houston
Founded in 2017 by two certified speech-language pathologists, this Houston clinic has grown into a bilingual practice spanning speech, language, occupational therapy, feeding and swallowing, AAC, orofacial myofunctional treatment, and social-pragmatic skills. Both center-based visits and in-home sessions are available throughout Houston and surrounding areas. Families working with children who have autism, apraxia, cerebral palsy, or sensory processing needs will find multiple services accessible in one practice.
Best for
Bilingual (English/Spanish) Houston families who need speech-language and occupational therapy together, especially those whose children use or are exploring AAC or who benefit from neurodiverse-affirming approaches.
Their approach
Every session wraps up with a parent consult so caregivers leave with carry-over activities for home. Therapists bring specialty credentials — SOS Feeding, Gestalt Language Processing, and SPEAK OUT! — supporting individualized, evidence-informed treatment rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
What to expect
Call 281-829-0103 to start; the front office handles insurance verification before your evaluation is scheduled, so you know coverage details upfront. In-network plans include Humana, BCBS, Cigna, United Healthcare, Wellpoint, and CHC; superbills are available for out-of-network families.
