What does the "Connection over Compliance" philosophy mean for my child's speech therapy treatment?
Our "Connection over Compliance" philosophy is the core of our brand. It means we prioritize building meaningful, trusting relationships with the client first.

We also offer the convenience of telehealth sessions, allowing us to integrate our specialized services into busy family schedules across the region.
What makes your Neurodiversity Affirming Care approach unique for families seeking speech therapy in Houston?
Our Neurodiversity Affirming Care is a core differentiator, focusing primarily on the needs of the autistic/neurodivergent population. We specialize in respectful, modern methodologies such as Gestalt Processing Care and the Total Communication Approach. This ensures that therapy is designed to empower communication authentically rather than striving for conformity.
Does Speak Speech Therapy offer support for Augmentative and Assistive Communication (AAC) Therapy?

Our operating hours are Monday through Thursday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM and Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM. The clinic is closed on weekends, and all scheduled times reflect a standard daytime operating model. We recommend contacting us during these hours to initiate the intake process.
