Founded by Shannon Butkus, M.S,CCC-SLP, Butkus and Associates is quickly establishing itself as a provider known for prompt and reliable services. Focusing solely on Speech Therapy Services, primarily in the home setting, we are committed to one-on-one, intensive therapy.
“Frequency is critical when working with children. Every day that passes without sound communication skills is a day of missed opportunities to interact with others and to learn.”
We believe every child has the potential to learn and grow, focusing on the abilities and potential in each child. Because no one knows a child better than the parents, we encourage and promote parental input and emphasize the importance of a partnership with the family when setting goals and working towards optimal outcomes. Listening comes first, and our therapists work to understand the special needs of each family. With creative, family focused sessions, individually tailored to the needs of each child, the fun often spills over to siblings and the family as a whole as they discover better ways to interact with their special needs child.

Getting Started

It only takes a call to 713-614-1876 to start the process. Please have your child’s insurance and physician information available when you call. We will send for an order from your physician at that time and schedule an evaluation just as quickly as we receive approval from your child’s insurance carrier. As soon as the evaluation is complete, we develop meaningful treatment plans and goals. Approval for treatment generally takes only a few days and therapy begins soon after that.
As therapy progresses, we reassess regularly, paying attention to new information, taking from it and using the knowledge and wisdom that will help each child become the person they want to be. Therapists maintain up-to-date expertise in augmentative technologies, assistive devices, and current trends in pediatric care. Our therapists are equipped with the latest testing materials to accurately diagnosis patient needs. Each therapist is state licensed and has a proven track record for providing outstanding care.

Our services are provided throughout the Greater Houston area and are generally delivered in the home environment.

We accept all forms of Medicaid including Traditional Medicaid, Texas Children’s Health Plan, Community Health Choice, Molina Healthcare, Amerigroup, and Evercare of Texas. We also accept CHIP and some forms of private insurance. Private pay patients are accepted as well.
