About Us
We are a group of board-certified speech,
occupational, and physical therapists dedicated to helping you or your child
succeed.
Our Center
We know that therapy sessions can be difficult both from a scheduling and
financial perspective. That is why we offer a tremendous amount of flexibility
with our therapy services and payment options. We will work with your insurance
and we accept payments through most major credit cards. We will also work with you
on a payment plan that fits best within your budget. We offer our services
throughout the greater Houston area. We can arrange therapy at
all hours of the day either in-home, at our therapy clinic, and even at your son
or daughter's private school.
What is a Speech Pathologist?
A speech-language pathologist (or therapist) works
with people who cannot make speech sounds, or who are unable to make them
clearly (articulation); people with speech rhythm or fluency difficulties
(stuttering); people with voice quality difficulties (vocal nodules); people
with problems understanding and producing language; ones with cognitive
impairments, such as attention, memory or problem solving; people with oral
motor difficulties, apraxia, and swallowing disorders. We are also able to help
people with reading and writing problems.
What causes communication
disorders?
Communication difficulties can result from a
variety of problems and can be congenital, developmental, or acquired. Speech
and language problems can be the product of a variety of factors including:
hearing loss, chronic ear infections, learning disabilities, brain injury,
cerebral palsy, stroke, cleft palate, vocal pathology, mental retardation, or
oral motor weakness/incoordination.
What is Occupational Therapy?
It is a health care service provided to people
whose lives have been disrupted by physical injury or illness, problems in
development, the aging process, and/or social or emotional problems.
Occupational Therapy is often the first step toward learning a new skill,
gaining greater freedom and mobility, living independently, and achieving
greater emotional security. Occupational therapy can restore people’s
confidence, usefulness, happiness, and economic independence after a serious
injury or illness. It can assist disabled children as they learn to become
independent, well-adjusted adults.
What is
Pediatric Physical Therapy?
Pediatric physical therapy enhances the stimuli and
learning process normally provided to a child through normal play and
exploration. It helps a child with special needs strengthen muscles,
improve balance and coordination, adapt to special handicap devices, and
also assists with gait training.
A pediatric physical therapist will
treat a wide range of dysfunctional movements for children with special
needs.
