Evaluations
Our evaluation services are child-led and rooted in play-based interactions, focusing on understanding communication breakdowns within the home environment. We incorporate input from parents, teachers, and other medical professionals to ensure a comprehensive approach. During the evaluation, families can expect a combination of informal and formal assessments, along with personalized consultations to identify the child’s strengths and set family communication goals.
Therapy
Our therapy services are built on compassion, empathy, and a commitment to individualized care. We take a child-led approach, focusing on each child’s unique interests and motivations to make therapy both effective and enjoyable. By using a team-based method, we teach and empower families with the foundational communication skills needed to help their child reach their full potential.

Bianca De Leon, M.A., CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
Hi, I’m Bianca De Leon! I’m thrilled to welcome you to South Texas Talking Sprouts. With over 10 years of experience as a Bilingual-certified Speech-Language Pathologist, I’m deeply passionate about empowering children and their families to communicate effectively and confidently. As someone who values the individuality of each child, I believe that therapy should be as unique as the child, guided by their strengths and interests.
At South Texas Talking Sprouts, our mission is to create a supportive and engaging environment where all forms of communication are celebrated. We embrace a child-centered approach, prioritizing connection and creativity over compliance, making therapy not only effective but also joyful. Watching a child discover their voice and share their thoughts with the world is the greatest reward of this work. I’m here to support your family every step of the way on this journey to unlocking your child’s full communication potential.
