Parenting
Services
We offer parenting support in a variety of settings to help parents get through common and unique childhood challenges to include effective discipline strategies, potty training, picky eating, sibling rivalry, anger problems, learning and homework challenges and much more.
One of the great things about the clinical staff at Southlake Autism is that we are parents, too. We fully understand parenting challenges and often turn to each other for support with our own children... we get it!
Speech &
Language
Does your child
have a difficult time communicating effectively? Perhaps vocal speech is absent or words are very limited and not used consistently? Does it seem as if your child more often cries, points or hits instead of using words? We offer many approaches to help children learn to communicate. Developing a language system is often a challenging and complex process that involves many elements. Southlake Autism clinicians are experts in understanding language systems and how to address the behaviors that often interfere with using language consistently. We can even work with your current speech Language pathologist if behaviors are interfering with progress.

Social Skills
Social skills are an important tool necessary for success in school, work and society. Many individuals with Autism, Asperger's, ADHD, excessive shyness lack the necessary social awareness skills to help them navigate our social world. Individuals lacking in social skills can become targets for bullying, isolation and can experience a variety of unnecessary failure in life simply because the social world is difficult to navigate.
