Pediatric Therapy Services in Fort Worth

Cowtown Pediatrix Clinic provides pediatric occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, feeding therapy, orofacial myofunctional therapy, and vision therapy for children in Fort Worth, Texas. Our licensed therapists use a whole-child, sensory-based approach to help kids build skills through play.

Every child develops in their own way, and it is not always easy to know what kind of support fits. This page walks you through the concerns we help with and the services we offer, so you can find a starting point that feels right for your family.

Child-Centered Care

How We Approach Pediatric Therapy

Since 2013, families across Fort Worth have trusted Cowtown Pediatrix Clinic with their children’s development. Our team takes a relationship-first approach, where trust, empathy, and connection guide everything we do. We get to know your child, not just a diagnosis, and we design therapy around what motivates them.

Sessions are play-based on purpose. When therapy feels like play, children engage, take safe risks, and practice hard skills without pressure. Behind the fun is careful clinical reasoning from licensed occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists, guided by more than 30 years of pediatric experience and advanced training in Ayres Sensory Integration.

Best in Fort Worth Pediatric Occupational & Speech Therapy

Parents usually come to us with an everyday worry rather than a diagnosis. Some of the most common concerns we hear include:

  • Mealtimes are a battle, or my child eats only a handful of foods
  • My child is not talking yet, is hard to understand, or repeats lines from shows instead of using their own words
  • Big emotions, meltdowns, or sensitivity to noise, textures, or busy places
  • Trouble with handwriting, scissors, buttons, or other small-hand tasks
  • My child seems behind on milestones like sitting, walking, or first words
  • Mouth breathing, tongue thrust, thumb sucking, or concerns raised by our dentist
  • Reading is a struggle even though my child's eyesight seems fine
  • Focus, organization, and follow-through are hard at school and at home
  • Making and keeping friends does not come easily

If any of these sound familiar, you do not need a diagnosis or a referral to reach out. Recognizing a concern early and asking about it is a healthy, proactive step.

What We Offer

Our Pediatric Therapy Services

Pediatric Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps children build the everyday skills of childhood: dressing, playing, writing, regulating emotions, and managing sensory experiences. Our OT services include focused support in several areas:
  • Sensory processing disorder therapy for children who are over- or under-responsive to sensory input
  • Occupational therapy for ADHD and executive function to support focus, routines, and organization
  • Pediatric fine motor therapy for handwriting, scissor skills, and hand strength
  • Emotional regulation support for meltdowns, transitions, and sensory overload
  • Vision therapy for children whose visual skills make reading and schoolwork harder than they should be
  • Mouth breathing, tongue thrust, thumb sucking, or concerns raised by our dentist

Speech and Language Therapy
Our speech-language pathologists support children who are late to talk, hard to understand, or finding language and social communication difficult. Focused services include:
  • Speech therapy for childhood apraxia of speech and gestalt language processing
  • Receptive and expressive language delay therapy for understanding and using language
  • Social skills and pragmatic language therapy for conversation and friendship skills

Feeding Therapy
Feeding therapy helps children who struggle with picky eating, food refusal, gagging, or texture sensitivities learn to feel safe and confident with food. Learn more about pediatric feeding therapy for picky eaters, or visit our main feeding therapy page for an overview.

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional therapy addresses oral habits and muscle patterns like mouth breathing, tongue thrust, and thumb sucking that can affect breathing, swallowing, speech, and dental development. See our page on myofunctional therapy for children to learn how it works.
Learn More>>
Vision Therapy
Some children pass a standard eye exam yet still struggle with the visual skills reading and schoolwork depend on, such as tracking a line of text or coordinating eyes and hands. Our vision therapy page explains how in-office therapy can support these skills.

Developmental Delay Support
When a baby, toddler, or preschooler seems behind on milestones, our team can help you understand what is typical, what may need support, and which type of therapy fits. Start with our developmental delay therapy page.

What Makes Our Fort Worth Clinic Different

Cowtown Pediatrix Clinic is an independent, locally owned practice, and it shows in how we care for families. Our founder, Sue Khammar, OTR, has been board certified since 1991 and leads a team with advanced training in Ayres Sensory Integration, including EASI evaluations. Occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists work under one roof, so when a child needs more than one kind of support, the team can coordinate care rather than sending you across town.

Most of all, we believe therapy works best when children feel safe, understood, and genuinely excited to come back.

Not Sure Where to Start?

You do not have to figure this out on your own. Many of the concerns above overlap, and children often benefit from more than one type of support. When you contact us, we listen to what you are seeing at home and school, and we help you decide whether an evaluation makes sense and which service is the best fit.

Our clinic is located on Benbrook Highway in west Fort Worth, and families visit us from across Tarrant County and nearby communities.
