Vision & Mission
Pediatrics
We believe each child is a miracle and has a unique story to tell. Our pediatric team of speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists truly have a passion for helping children and empowering their parents with the education and tools they need to see their children develop and succeed.
School Districts
For 20+ years our therapists have provided school-based therapy at over a dozen school districts. Our team takes great pride in providing quality services within the educational setting. If you are an school district or day-care administrator and would like to know more about how TTC can partner with you, please feel free to give us a call.

Frequently Asked Questions?
If you have not visited your Primary Care Physican within the past six months, please make an appointment with them to discuss your concerns. Texas and Arkansas Medicaid both require a referral from your Primary Care Physician in order to be authorized for a speech, physical and occupational therapy evaluation. Although many private insurances do not require an initial referal, we recommend consulting with your PCP before recieving an evaluation.
When arriving for your scheduled evaluation, please check-in at the front desk. If you did not receive initial intake paperwork in the mail prior to the appointment, you will be given it at time of check-in.
Parents/Guardians are recommended to attend the entirety of the scheduled evaluation. You will be asked questions regarding your child’s everyday behaviors.
At the conclusion of the evaluation, the therapist may recommend home exercises and areas of concern to work on.
After your initial visit, please allow 2-3 weeks before inquiring on results. Once the report has been completed and all insurance requirements have been met, we will then contact you regarding the results and scheduling. Please keep in mind that many insurances require physician signatures and prior authorizations before scheduling therapy.
