At Home Pediatric Speech Therapy in Bulverde

Bulverde is an awesome, tight-knit community with busy families, sometimes pretty long commutes, and (unfortunately) limited pediatric resources nearby. Driving down into San Antonio twice a week for speech therapy isn’t always realistic and is often not sustainable.
In-home sessions let your child build communication skills where they’re already comfortable. Parents get to watch the strategies in real time, see how they fit naturally into daily routines, and learn how to support their child between sessions (all while seriously increasing the convenience and sustainability of consistent therapy sessions.)
This approach also gives me a clearer picture of your child’s true communication profile, since I get to see how they play, explore, and interact in a familiar space and with the people they love the most (family!)
This is where private, personalized at home speech therapy can make a real difference.
Below is a quick guide to what speech therapy is, who it supports, and how it works for families within our in-person service areas (Stone Oak, Timberwood Park, Shavano Park, Bulverde, and the surrounding areas.)
You can also learn how families throughout the State of Texas can receive services through virtual speech therapy!
Who Speech Therapy Supports
Speech and language therapy helps children strengthen the skills that make communication possible. These skills include:
Speech clarity (intelligibility)
For children who have trouble being understood due to sound errors, phonological difficulties, or unintelligible speech.
Language development
For children who are late to talk, or who struggle with vocabulary, grammar, or understanding directions. This includes receptive language (comprehension) as well as expressive language (expression.)
Social communication
For children who need help connecting, taking turns, staying regulated during interactions, or navigating shared activities.
Early communication
For toddlers who communicate mostly through gestures, sounds, or behavior instead of words.
AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)
For children who need extra support building a functional communication system, whether that’s gestures, picture-based systems, or speech-generating devices.
Autistic communication
Autistic children often need additional support in learning to communicate. Speech therapy for Autistic individuals should be accepting of their differences while helping to bridge to gap in communicating with their peers.
Stuttering and cluttering
For children who repeat sounds, stretch out sounds, speak too rapidly, or get “stuck” when trying to talk.
Every single one of these areas can significantly impact daily life and have ripple effects in a child's home life and educational success! Speech therapy focuses on the underlying skill, not just the surface-level symptoms.
Why Families in Bulverde Look for Private Speech Therapy
Many families seeking speech therapy in Bulverde tell me they’re looking for something different from the traditional clinic experience. They want:
speech therapy sessions that don't require driving into San Antonio
a therapist who understands their family's needs
someone who comes to their home
a therapist who truly cares about their child and goes "above and beyond" to help them learn
meaningful, easy to incorporate practice opportunities outside of therapy
a personal touch
honesty and transparency

What At Home Speech Therapy Looks Like
Sessions are designed around your child’s pace, personality, likes/dislikes, and needs. A typical at home speech session in Bulverde may include:
play-based activities
targeting of functional, social, and/or academic language
guiding parents on how to support communication at home
building routines that fit naturally into your family’s day
adjusting tasks to match your child’s attention and comfort level
At home sessions also give families a chance to observe therapy in real time. You can watch exactly how I model language, support engagement, adjust routines, and respond to your child. Most parents share they feel more confident because they understand why certain strategies work and are able to replicate these strategies at home for even more progress (that's my favorite part of home therapy!) I prioritize parent education in every single session.
How to Know If Your Child May Benefit From Speech Therapy
Families often reach out when they notice:
their toddler is talking less than expected
their child is hard to understand
conversations feel one-sided or difficult
frustration is increasing
school or daycare has mentioned concerns
their child has autism or suspected autism and needs support with communication
If any of these sound familiar, a speech evaluation can help you get clarity on what’s going on and what to do next!
