Is it time to talk to a speech therapist?
Maybe your pediatrician said "let's give it a few months," and a few months have passed. Maybe your child's teacher mentioned they're not using many words yet. If it's on your mind, it's worth asking.
- No two-word phrases like "more milk" by age 2 (a CDC milestone)
- Your child understands you but can't tell you what they want
- Speech that people outside the family can't follow
- Big frustration when the words won't come
What speech therapy looks like at our Keller center
It starts with a one-hour, play-based assessment. Your child's speech-language pathologist plays, listens, and asks what you're seeing at home, then builds a plan around real moments: asking for a snack, saying a friend's name, being understood at preschool.
Our speech team is led by Jessica Roberts-Grant, M.S., CCC-SLP, who brings more than 15 years of experience with young children, including autism and alternative communication (AAC). We work on late talking, understanding language, speech sounds, social communication, AAC, and feeding, and we coach parents at every step. See how we approach speech and feeding therapy.
Your speech therapist plays with your child, listens to how they communicate, and asks what you're seeing at home.
Goals tied to real moments: asking for a snack, being understood at preschool, mealtimes that feel calmer.
Play-based sessions, and one or two things to practice at home each week, so progress keeps going between visits.

Speech, OT, and ABA under one roof in Keller
Our Keller center brings speech therapy, occupational therapy, ABA therapy, and a half-day school-readiness program together. Your child's therapists share what's working and set goals together, so you're not coordinating separate providers.
Finding their words
First words, being understood, picture and device communication, and mealtimes that feel calmer.
Confidence in everyday moments
Fine motor, sensory, and self-care skills, from getting dressed to holding a crayon.
Skills for independence
Play-based, child-led support for communication, social, and daily-living skills.
The bigger picture
When speech is part of a bigger picture
Sometimes a speech delay comes with other differences, in how a child plays, connects with people, or handles change. Some of those children are autistic, and many aren't. If that question is on your mind, you don't have to figure it out alone.
- Ask your speech therapist. She'll share what she's seeing and whether an autism evaluation could help.
- Get guidance on next steps. Our team can walk you through your options for an evaluation.
- Keep the team you know. If ABA therapy would help, it happens right here in our Keller center, with therapists who already know your child.
ABA therapy
Support that grows with your child
If an autism diagnosis is part of your child's story, ABA therapy happens in the same building, with a team that already knows your child. It's play-based, led by your child's strengths, and built around your family's goals.

ECI and school speech services help many kids, but they're built around eligibility rules and school schedules. Private therapy is built around your child.
- No need to qualify. If your child is struggling to talk, you can start here.
- One-on-one sessions, not a group, with a therapist who knows your child.
- Goals for home and play, not only the classroom.
- Coaching for you, so practice continues between visits.
- Year-round therapy, with no summer break.
Already in ECI or Keller ISD speech?
Keep it. Private therapy works alongside Texas Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) and Keller ISD services, and we're glad to coordinate with your child's team. ECI ends at age 3, and not every child qualifies for school services, so many families add private therapy then.
Most families use insurance, and we check your benefits before your first visit.

Speech therapy questions from Keller parents
My child is in ECI. Can we add private speech therapy?
Yes. Many families use Texas Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) and private speech therapy together, and we're happy to coordinate with your ECI team. When ECI ends at 3, private therapy keeps your child's progress going.
How is private speech different from Keller ISD speech?
School speech focuses on what your child needs in the classroom and often happens in small groups. Private sessions are one-on-one, continue through the summer, and can work on goals at home and in play.
Does my child need an autism diagnosis to start speech therapy?
No. Speech therapy doesn't require any diagnosis. If you have questions about autism, we can talk through next steps when you call.
Will insurance cover speech therapy?
Many plans do. In Texas we accept Aetna, BCBS of Texas, TRICARE, UnitedHealthcare, and United Behavioral Health. Our intake team checks your plan before your first visit.
Can my child do speech and OT the same day?
Often, yes. Both happen at our Keller center, so we try to schedule sessions back to back and save you a second trip.
