Personalized Speech Therapy Rooted in Play, Connection, and Confidence
At McAllister Speech & Language Services, we believe that communication is at the heart of connection. We provide high-quality, play-based speech therapy tailored to each child’s strengths, needs, and natural communication style. Whether your child is just starting to speak, struggling with articulation, or needs support with language development, we’re here to help them thrive—at home, in school, and in the world.
Kids learn best when they’re having fun! I use play to keep sessions engaging, low-pressure, and effective.
I provide parent coaching so families can use therapy strategies during everyday routines. In sessions, I use natural, child-led play to help kids build real-world skills.
We focus on the words and skills that matter most: asking for help, making choices, sharing ideas, and connecting with others.
I follow your child’s interests and pace to build trust and keep them motivated to communicate.
I help children grow in conversation, turn-taking, and connecting with others—building skills for friendship and community.
Therapy isn’t just about success during the session —I work to make sure skills carry over to home, school, and beyond.
Hi, I’m Meghan McAllister, M.S., SLP—a Texas-licensed pediatric speech-language pathologist. I specialize in early language development, pragmatic language, and early literacy. My professional path began in early childhood education—as a preschool teacher’s assistant and later as a full-time preschool teacher for children with communication delays. These experiences gave me a deep respect for how children learn best: through relationships, routines, and meaningful play.
I founded McAllister Speech & Language Services to create therapy that feels personal, empowering, and grounded in real life. I currently serve clients in their homes, at daycares, and in my home-based space in the Garden Oaks/Oak Forest area of Houston.
What Makes Us Different
At McAllister Speech & Language Services, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. We meet kids exactly where they are—whether they’re neurodivergent, shy, sensory-seeking, wildly imaginative, or still finding their voice.
Here’s what sets us apart:
🧠 An understanding of neurodiversity
As an AuDHD (autistic + ADHD) speech therapist, I bring lived experience to the table. I understand how the world can feel for kids who process and express things differently—and I build therapy spaces that honor and support that.
🤍 Low-pressure, high-trust therapy
No drilling. No forcing. Just connection, curiosity, and creativity. I aim to make therapy a space where your child feels safe to be themselves.
⏱️ Flexible session durations
I offer 10- and 15-minute virtual sessions that are perfect for targeted articulation work, and 30- or 60-minute sessions tailored to your child’s needs and your family’s schedule.
👨👩👧 Parent collaboration
I partner with families to share tools, coaching, and insight—so growth continues beyond our sessions and communication becomes part of daily life.
💛 Affirming, trauma-aware care
I aim to provide therapy that feels safe, joyful, and respectful of your child’s nervous system, identity, and individuality.
We don’t just work on speech goals—we nurture confidence, connection, and communication that fits your child’s world.
