Speech and Language Therapy
for Children, Teens, and Adults
Therapy OPS offers initial evaluations and ongoing speech therapy for adults and children with speech, language, literacy, and social delays and disorders, as well as feeding challenges. All of our speech therapists hold Master’s degrees in the field of Speech and Language Pathology, a Certificate of Clinical Competence from our national board (ASHA), and a State of Texas professional license. Our speech therapists also have advanced training in areas such as literacy and feeding.
​
We typically begin our speech therapy services with a speech-language, literacy, or feeding evaluation in the areas of concern. Once the evaluation is complete, we will review the results with the family and/or client. In collaboration with the client and family, our speech therapists will then develop a speech therapy plan to address areas of need.
Once speech therapy begins, our speech therapists always work closely with caregivers and families to deliver effective speech therapy services and provide education to support ongoing home practice. Individual speech therapy sessions use evidence-based therapy techniques in combination with client-led activities. At Therapy OPS we are committed to making sure our speech therapy sessions are fun, interactive, and motivating.
Speech therapy for children, teens, and adults is offered in our Red Oak, TX clinic, in your home, or via teletherapy.
