Overview
Speech, feeding, and occupational therapy come together under one roof at this Hurst clinic, the original location for the Monkey Mouths pediatric therapy group. A multidisciplinary team of speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists sees children with autism spectrum disorder, speech and language delays, feeding difficulties, and sensory or fine-motor challenges. One of the clinic's directors offers Vietnamese-bilingual sessions on-site. Since opening as the practice's first clinic, the Hurst office has grown into one of its larger multidisciplinary programs.
A good fit for North Texas parents who want speech, feeding, and occupational therapy handled by one coordinated team rather than juggling separate providers for a child with autism or a developmental delay.
Licensed speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists lead treatment, with augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) evaluations available for children who need support beyond spoken language, plus Vietnamese-language therapy through a bilingual clinician on staff.
Scheduling runs through an online booking tool linked from the clinic's website, or families can call the Hurst office directly to get started; specifics on wait times and insurance were not listed on the site.
