Overview
With nine clinics spread across Cypress, Tomball, Missouri City, Memorial, Katy, Magnolia, Atascocita, and Brookshire, this pediatric speech therapy practice covers more of Greater Houston than most. Founded by a CCC-SLP who is also an IBCCES Certified Autism Specialist, it treats children from 18 months through early adulthood using a neurodiversity-affirming, play-based model. Specialties range from AAC and apraxia to Gestalt Language Processing, feeding therapy, and social-pragmatic skills — often delivered inside the same daycare or ABA center where a child already spends their day.
Houston-area families who want a practice that can meet their child at a clinic, daycare, or ABA center, and whose child needs autism-informed speech therapy — especially for AAC, apraxia, or Gestalt Language Processing.
Therapy is strengths-based and play-driven, guided by neurodiversity-affirming principles, with clinicians credentialed in specialized methods including the Early Start Denver Model, the SOS Approach to feeding, and Meaningful Speech certification.
A referral isn't required from the practice itself, though some insurers do require one — worth a quick call to verify. Most kids attend 1–2 thirty-minute sessions per week, and parents can sit in the room or wait in the lobby while also receiving coaching at session's end.
