Overview
Autism therapy and services in Kingwood
Founded in 1981 and privately owned since 2001, Kingwood Speech Pathology Services has built one of Northeast Houston's most established therapy practices — more than 5,000 patients over 34-plus years. The clinic runs two service lines: speech-language pathology for children and adults, and occupational therapy dedicated to pediatrics. Sessions happen at the Kingwood clinic or via telehealth when clinically appropriate.
Best for
Northeast Houston families wanting a seasoned, all-in-one private practice for pediatric OT or speech therapy — especially children with autism, AAC needs, sensory processing challenges, or complex communication disorders.
Their approach
Therapists plan every session around specific post-evaluation goals, blending play and purposeful activity to make hard skills feel accessible. Clinicians coordinate closely with parents, teachers, and other providers so gains carry over into everyday routines at home and school.
What to expect
Call the office at 281-358-0577 to answer a few intake questions; paperwork arrives by email within 24 hours and must be completed before joining the waitlist. Once near the top, insurance benefits are verified and a roughly one-hour evaluation is scheduled with either an SLP or OT.
