Where compassion meets communication!
About Us
OUR PATIENTS ARE OUR PASSION
We feel your child teaches us how to be better therapists daily.
It has been said many times that the families we service consider us as their own family. Our therapists strive to provide the most excellent therapy to their clients, either in the educational or in home health setting. Life-long relationships are often made between the families and their therapists, across the DFW area.
The Lonestar Speech Therapy Team joins together yearly with other therapy companies to host a Christmas Bash as well as an Easter Egg Hunt. These events give children with special needs the opportunity to socialize with other children while also giving the parents an opportunity to network with other families
Both the Christmas Bash as well as the Easter Egg Hunt rely heavily on volunteers to make them successful. The volunteers seem to have as much fun as the children! We are thankful for the opportunity to grow with your child.
Lonestar Speech Therapy, PLLC has also had the honor to sponsor various organizations in previous years including Kinder Frogs of TCU, Joshua Baseball Team, Alvarado Youth Baseball Association and provide community hours for various school organizations at volunteer opportunities.
Thank you for sharing your children with our therapists.
