When is online therapy a better fit than in-person?
Online therapy is ideal if you:
  • have a busy or changing schedule,
  • live far from providers or have limited transport,
  • prefer the privacy and comfort of your own space,
  • travel frequently or split time between locations.
For many people, this flexibility is what makes it possible to actually stay in therapy.

Is online therapy private and secure?
Reputable online therapy platforms use encrypted connections and secure apps that are designed for confidential healthcare communication. Sessions are held in a private space of your choosing, which can feel safer than a public waiting room.

How do costs compare with in-person therapy?
Online therapy can sometimes be more affordable overall: there are no travel costs, less time away from work or family, and many platforms offer predictable weekly pricing. The value often comes from being able to attend regularly without extra friction.

Have questions?

At Essential Speech and ABA Therapy, we understand how important it is to identify whether or not your child needs speech therapy. It’s common for many children with autism to need speech therapy in order to improve their social communication skills. Speech therapy can help your child learn how to start and end conversations, understand body language, respond to questions, and use gestures like pointing. Early intervention is especially important since there is a critical period for language development. If your child is very quiet, speaks very few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be an indication that speech therapy is necessary. Our team of professionals can provide the guidance and resources to help you understand the benefits of speech therapy and determine if it’s the right fit for your child. To learn more, check out our comprehensive guide to speech therapy.
At Essential Speech and ABA Therapy in Sugar Land, we specialize in helping your child communicate better. Our speech therapists can help with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings clearly, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, feeding and swallowing, and even stuttering. We use gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to help your child communicate effectively with other people across all environments.
At Essential Speech and ABA Therapy in Sugar Land, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is a science-based approach to teaching communication, social and daily living skills while decreasing problematic behaviors. Our primary focus is to empower our clients to be independent and successful through personalized ABA programs. Learn more about ABA therapy and how it can help you or your child by exploring our comprehensive guide.
At Essential Speech and ABA Therapy, we understand that it’s a big decision to make for your family. That’s why we created a complete guide to help you start and end ABA Therapy. Our goal is to help children learn all they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. Our Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. We want to ensure you are aware of ABA providers that look to “cure” autism, as high quality ABA therapy does not look to “fix” children, make them appear “less autistic”, or change who they are. Let Essential Speech and ABA Therapy be your guide in the decision-making process and help your child reach their highest potential.
At Essential Speech and ABA Therapy, we understand that the cost of ABA therapy can be a major concern. That’s why we provide a helpful guide to give you a better understanding of the cost of ABA therapy. In general, ABA therapy is usually covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. While autism is typically the only diagnosis that insurance will authorize for ABA services, you should always check with your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network. If you want to learn more about ABA therapy, our Sugar Land team is available to answer your questions and provide the essential information you need.
Contact Phone number is (281) 969-7527.
