At Talknique you get more than a speech therapist, you get someone who is walking alongside you in your journey
As a special-needs mom and a pediatric speech therapist, I bring a unique perspective to working with families. I provide more than therapy. I provide guidance, coaching, and empathy as you embark on the journey of supporting your child’s unique and extraordinary abilities.
I specialize in working with autistic children as well as nonverbal and minimally verbal children. I also work with children who have speech delays, developmental delays, language disorders, and neurological impairments.

Evaluations & Speech Therapy for Children
Serving Families & Children in Sugar Land, Missouri City, Sienna, and Richmond, TX
Our Specialties
Autism • AAC • Speech Delays • Developmental Delays • Language Disorders • Neurological Impairments • Nonverbal & Minimally Verbal Children
Evaluations
Talknique offers complimentary 30-minute consultations via Zoom or phone. During that conversation, we will determine if a screening or evaluation is appropriate.
Comprehensive evaluations will allow me to look at your child’s skills in all areas — language, speech, social, self-regulation, etc. I will use the evaluation results along with your family’s goals and values to develop a treatment plan for your child.
Therapy
Every speech therapy session is tailored to meet your child’s unique communication and/or social goals. I believe in combining play with structure and consistency to optimize your child’s learning environment. I use picture schedules, songs, books, and games to help your child develop:
the ability to communicate their wants, needs, and ideas verbally or using AAC
confidence and independence
connections with peers, family, and friends
Meet Your Speech Therapist
Erica Alleyne, M.Ed., CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
I'm Erica Alleyne, a pediatric speech therapist with over two decades of experience working with children in schools, outpatient pediatric clinics, and home health settings. I have held various roles from a language facilitator to the director of rehabilitation, with my passion always lying in providing direct therapy and parent coaching.
Starting Talknique was a personal decision rooted in my experience as a mother. My child, who has been receiving various therapies since seven months old, has profoundly influenced my approach to therapy. Having been on both sides of the therapy table, I understand and empathize with the families I serve. My aim is to offer practical strategies that integrate smoothly into your busy life, providing not just professional guidance but also moral support along with sharing my personal experiences.
My unique perspective as a parent of a special needs child enables me to skillfully coach and support families throughout Sugar Land, TX.
