In business since 2001, Speech & Occupational Therapy of North Texas has provided excellent pediatric therapy to our community for over a decade. It has always been our goal to create a nurturing and welcoming environment for clients and families.

Each of our locations strives to keep a personal small clinic atmosphere, while at the same time providing the highest quality evidence-based treatment and family training. While we want to remain personal in our services, we couple this goal with up-to-date information technology systems demanded by healthcare today.

Our History

Speech & Occupational Therapy of North Texas started in 2001 with a small clinic in downtown Plano, where the owner at the time, Anne Bramlett, grew up. Anne became a speech-language pathologist in private practice because she wanted to help serve not only children with disabilities but also their families She understood the importance of a team approach and the importance of providing exceptional services for both families and children because she has an adult son on the autism spectrum.

Specializing in children; Partnering with families! Speech and OT of North Texas - Footer Logo

Speech & OT of North Texas utilizes a partnership model for therapy. Evidence-based practices have established that children make the most significant strides in therapy when the families are an integral part of the process. This is why we ask that a family or approved caregiver join the therapist for the last 5 minutes of treatment. In some situations a family may want to stay longer. This time helps the family to better understand the strategies and structure that lead to success.

The therapist typically will provide “homework” or activities to be addressed between sessions. This “teamwork” time also gives the therapist and family the freedom to discuss progress, concerns and new strategies in a confidential environment. Following this model is the best use of a family’s time and financial resources.

We are here to help your child meet their greatest potential within our scope of practice!

Listed below are a few Client Testimonials received by Speech & Occupational Therapy over the years!

We are so grateful to Anne Bramlett and her staff for the success of our 5 year old son, Jonathan. He was diagnosed with autism about a year ago and Anne has been very helpful and patient with all of our questions regarding Jonathan’s condition. He sees Anne for speech therapy and Midge for Occupational Therapy and we have seen a huge improvement in his speech and communication skills. Thank you Anne, Midge, and staff. Jonathan is really happy and loves you very much!

When my son started here at Speech and Occupational Therapy he was very late in his speech; almost 3 and still not talking. My boy is now 5 ½ years old and is able to speak in short sentences and is holding his own in Kindergarten. In OT he has become much better with his eye-hand coordination. The therapists here are very patient and genuinely care about the children that receive services here. I highly recommend S and OT of North Texas.

Gail K.

My 3-year old son, Aidan, has a serious speech delay, so we took him to Speech and Occupational Therapy for help. The staff is very organized. They got us in right away, tested my son, and immediately knew how to help him. He is so happy at Speech and Occupational Therapy! Thank you!

Lisa C

Our child began receiving services from Speech & Occupational Therapy of North Texas about two and a half years ago. We researched several therapy centers seeking the best treatment for our child. We have not regretted our choice. The staff at Speech & Occupational Therapy of North Texas has an outstanding way of making our daughter feel comfortable and at home. She knows several of the staff members by name due to her positive interactions with them. She looks forward to seeing her therapist twice per week as is evidenced by her continued growth and development in both feeding and speech. This has been a remarkable opportunity for our child to both learn and grow!

Eric C. - Frisco Texas

Caroline has done an amazing job with my son. She not only worked with him in his session but also gave us fun games to play at home to reinforce the skills taught. The office staff has been helpful and happy on each of our visits. Thank you!!

Sheri Hay

I am so thankful for all the support and help my son and I have received from Becky , Anne and their staff in the last 3 years. My son has a speech delay and auditory processing disorder. I have seen so much improvement with his communication and behavior as a result of speech therapy. I also appreciate the time they take to explain what was done in the therapy session and how they provide things we can work on at home to improve his speech. Not only are they helpful with providing therapy but they also checked my benefits and provided great customer service.

Claudia R., Plano, Texas

This is such a great place! The staff is very professional & have an amazing heart for those with special needs. We’ve had a wonderful experience in the years my son has been in therapy here & he’s made wonderful progress. I do wonder if he gives his therapist the urge to have a child, too, because we’ve had 2 leave to start their family; however, the transition has always been made smoothly with every accommodation to make sure he stays on track & continues to be successful. I just can’t say enough about how much we love this place. He wouldn’t be as far along as he is without them! We feel blessed by their services!

Melanie W.

Our OT from Speech and Occupational Therapy of North Texas is incredibly warm, professional and enthusiastic. My son is extremely attached to her! It is amazing some of the activities that she can get him to do. Our OT is so creative and eager that she is able to keep my child interested, even if it’s a challenging task. The services we have received from her have been very beneficial to our child.
