Sensory processing allows a child to respond to different sensory information (sound, vison, touch, taste, smell, spatial, and internal sensations/interoceptive) in their immediate environment. This will affect their ability to behave in meaningful and consistent ways. Children that experience sensory processing difficulties may avoid participation in childhood experiences or show inconsistency in engaging with sensory […]

14 year old son
The help my son has received at ACS has been tremendous! Thanks to the amazing ACS staff that has been working with him, this has been his best year ever. The creative ways and approaches to address certain behaviors and challenges have been so thoughtful and strategic. Amazing job to you all. Thanks for helping my son and family!

Understanding
I’ve been taking my son to Austin Communication Station for almost two years. When we began speech services we could understand less than 20% of what he was saying. Today we can understand almost everything he says. This place and the people who work here are wonderful. The staff are all so caring and the clinic is awesome! They have gyms, games of all kinds, toys, books, crafts.. basically everything imaginable and they find creative, fun activities to work with your child. Going to speech twice a week has become one of his favorite activities. We love it here.
Hands On
I very much appreciate this center, and love referring here. They provide real-life hands-on practice for self-regulation and social skills. These are brilliant applications of OT and ST and make a real and measurable difference for kids. In addition to the usual OT and ST, they also work on executive functioning and are quite good at feeding therapy for picky eaters or ARFID. Plus they see teens! Highly recommend.
8th Grade
We have always had a wonderful experience with Austin Communication Ctation and their staff and therapists. My daughter who is now in the 8th grade is thriving. Thanks for all your help in the different areas that she needed help with. You’ve made a big difference in her life and the life of our family!
2 years
I started ACS when I was around 9 years old. I had Speech and OT during the day because I couldn’t go to a regular school. Ms. Amy and her staff helped me so much. I learned a lot while I was there and really liked going to ACS. I went to ACS for 2 years. I am 16 now and in all regular classes thanks to Ms. Amy and her staff. I highly recommend ACS to anyone who needs extra help with OT and Speech.
Lives changed
My boys have been going to ACS for a long time now and therapists and staff there are very friendly. Amy is so awesome! She cares about my boys and knows what therapy plans to put them on. I recommend this place to any parent who needs speech or occupational therapy for their children. They have changed our lives!
7 Years
Austin Communication Station is the BEST place for therapy! My daughter attended for 7 years receiving various therapies and her progress was amazing! The owner cares so much about every kid and makes sure they get all the therapy they need. Amy helped us navigate through insurance’s denial of services. This is our second home and we still keep in touch with all the therapists as they are our family who helped my daughter grow and become who she is now. Every single therapist who works here CARES about your child and his/her progress and give their best to ensure the positive outcome! Highly recommend this place!
18 Months
My son spent 18 months in speech and social-emotional therapy at ACS and we are so thankful for the progress he made. It is evident that they truly care about their clients. I have witnessed a number of challenging situations in the waiting room and watched the ACS staff treat each client with dignity and kindness even in the most stressful situations. We are grateful to have found ACS, and highly recommend them!
testimonial 1223
n/aWe are so grateful for ACS and the wonderful therapists. One of the things I like best is that everyone is made to feel welcome. Everyone. When we walk through the door for our appointments, we receive so much kindness. The therapists and staff are always excited to see every client when they come in, whether it’s early in the morning or late in the afternoon. ACS is a wonderful place.

testimonial 3
n/aThe list of big and small successes we’ve seen as a direct result of work with ACS are just too many to list. Here are a few: He has tried new foods he was previously unwilling to touch. He started asking questions. This one was HUGE for us. I think he was 6 years old. ACS staff have helped us navigate transition to school, ARD meetings, and understanding how to frame situations related to ARD meetings/school in general. His coordination and enthusiasm in participating in gross motor activities has been greatly improved. His sense of self esteem has been supported by all the amazing staff, even during difficult times.
