With school back in session, we want to offer FREE speech therapy screenings (a $50 value) through the month of September for families who want a quick, professional check-in.

🔎 What is a Speech Screening?

A screening is a quick, informal check (about 15–20 minutes) by a licensed speech-language pathologist. It helps us see if your child’s communication, speech sounds, language skills, or feeding & oral motor skills are developing on track for their age.

After the screening, you’ll either:
✅ Get reassurance that your child is developing as expected,
✅ Receive a recommendation for a full evaluation if we see areas that could benefit from support.

We specialize in:
🗣 Speech & Language Development
🍎 Feeding Therapy
😴 Myofunctional Therapy

Screenings are perfect for parents who are unsure if their child might benefit from speech therapy services. 💕

Call our office today or send us a message directly to get your child scheduled – spots are limited & will fill quickly! 940-304-3791

We are so excited to welcome Elise Holder, M.S. CF-SLP to our Play on Words Family!! 🦔

Hi, I’m Elise!
I grew up in the Argyle area and am excited to serve my community by providing speech and language services here! I love speech language pathology and believe in making therapy fun and functional for all clients. I graduated with my bachelor’s in speech, language, and hearing sciences from Texas Tech University where I had the opportunity to participate in research on pediatric language learning. Recently, I graduated with my master’s degree in speech-language pathology from the University of Texas at Dallas where I gained clinical experience in the areas of pediatric speech, language, augmentative and alternative communication, and feeding. During my time in grad school I also worked in the public schools as a licensed speech-language pathologist assistant.

I am passionate about providing speech and language services so my clients can feel confident and empowered to communicate their own stories and ideas to members of their community on a daily basis.

In my free time I enjoy writing, hiking nature trails, enjoying a good book or movie, and spending quality time with friends and family.

I am thankful to be a part of the team at Play on Words and am excited to provide in-depth personalized care to my clients and their families. I can’t wait to celebrate each child’s accomplishments along their unique speech/language/feeding journey!
