Occupational Therapy Services & NE Speech

About Occupational Therapy Services & NE Speech

Occupational Therapy Services and NE Speech / Language Center is a pediatric therapy practice in Humble, Texas that has served families from the same location since 1984. The clinic states that its work is centered on helping children build developmental skills, increase day to day independence, and make progress toward individualized goals. Its services include both occupational therapy and speech and language therapy, with weekly one on one appointments designed to give each child direct attention from their therapist. The practice says new clients can often be scheduled within 1 to 2 weeks, and it notes that insurance filings are handled for families.

On the speech and language side, the clinic describes experience with a range of communication needs, including expressive and receptive language delays, social communication deficits, articulation concerns, stuttering, and the development of tools and strategies for alternative communication when needed. The site also highlights work on oral motor skills, language, pragmatics, and communication growth more broadly. The clinic’s overall approach begins with an initial evaluation, followed by specific goals and an individualized treatment plan, with regular re-evaluations to monitor progress. Families are encouraged to participate in the evaluation and treatment process and to help set goals for their child. The website also notes experience working with children with diagnoses such as Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, and attention deficit disorder. Staff information published on the site includes Jeannette Burg, EdD OTR, the original owner, who has prior experience in hospitals and Houston area school districts, and Elena Dugas, M.S. CCC-SLP, a licensed and certified speech and language pathologist with ASHA credentials who has been with the practice since 2001. Kathy Rios is listed as office manager and oversees scheduling, billing, insurance claims, and authorizations.
