Overview

Speech Therapy for autism in Houston

Tucked into Houston's Upper Kirby neighborhood, this private clinic handles some of the more complex speech and feeding concerns that general practices often refer out — tethered oral tissue, childhood apraxia, orofacial myofunctional disorders, and severe swallowing difficulties among them. All treating clinicians hold Masters-level credentials, and sessions can happen in-clinic or over a HIPAA-compliant video platform when coming in isn't possible. The practice sees clients from newborns through adults at its Richmond Avenue location.

Best for

Families dealing with feeding aversions, tongue or lip ties, apraxia of speech, or persistent oral habits like thumb-sucking who need a clinician with deep specialty training rather than a generalist caseload.

Their approach

Each client is matched with the therapist whose specialty aligns with their particular needs, and session frequency is adjusted individually rather than set by a standard schedule. Getting parents actively involved in the process is treated as essential to long-term progress.

What to expect

Contact the clinic by phone at (713) 252-2082 or by email to ask questions or set up a consultation; the site does not list waitlist or insurance details, so it's worth asking directly about both. Teletherapy is available as an alternative when in-person visits aren't practical.
