Overview
Speech Therapy for autism in Houston
Tucked in Houston's Heights neighborhood, this private practice focuses almost entirely on children whose speech challenges go beyond what typical outpatient settings handle well — particularly Childhood Apraxia of Speech, motor speech disorders, Gestalt Language Processing, and sensory-motor feeding difficulties. Sessions run in the clinic, via telehealth when appropriate, or occasionally at home for children with complex medical needs. Intensive programs and seasonal speech camps round out the options for families who need a faster pace or more concentrated support.
Best for
Children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech, neurodivergent communication profiles, or complex motor speech and language needs whose families want specialized, individualized care and active coaching in how to support progress at home.
Their approach
Every session draws on evidence-based motor speech methods — DTTC, PROMPT, Kaufman K-SLP, and Gestalt Language Processing among them — layered into play-based, neurodiversity-affirming work. Parents are invited into sessions rather than kept in the waiting room, and each family leaves with a home program so therapy skills carry into daily routines.
What to expect
The practice is private pay only; families receive a superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement, and FSA/HSA cards are accepted. A waitlist exists for CAS and motor speech services, but free 15-minute phone consultations are available while families wait.
