Every Child's Right

Communicating and eating are not privileges — they are every person's right. We show up for every family with that belief at heart.

Hi, I'm Naba Hirani, M.S., CCC-SLP

M.S., CCC-SLP Texas Licensed SLP Hanen Certified ASHA Member

Founder of Little Spurs Speech Therapy and a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with training in pediatric feeding and early language development, serving families across the DFW area.

"I am passionate about empowering parents with strategies they can use throughout everyday routines — so progress continues long after therapy sessions end."

I started Little Spurs because I believe communicating and eating are not privileges — they are every person's right. Too often, families leave therapy sessions feeling like spectators. I wanted to change that. Every visit is designed so you walk away confident, informed, and equipped — with strategies that fit into real life at bath time, mealtimes, and car rides — because that's where the real growth happens.

As a Hanen It Takes Two to Talk® Certified SLP and member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), parent coaching isn't an add-on — it's the foundation of everything I do. I see families at our office in Allen, TX, with teletherapy also available for families across McKinney, Frisco, Plano, and beyond.

Things parents often ask

How do I know if my child needs speech therapy?

If your child is not meeting typical language milestones — such as babbling by 12 months, using single words by 16 months, or combining two words by 24 months — a speech evaluation is a great first step. Early intervention speech therapy is most impactful when started early. We offer free consultations for families in Allen, McKinney, Frisco, and Plano.

What age groups do you work with?

We work with children from birth through school age. Early intervention (birth to 3) is our specialty, since this is the most critical window for language and feeding development — but we also support preschoolers and school-age kids with articulation and language therapy.

Do you offer teletherapy?

Yes! We offer teletherapy for families who prefer virtual sessions or cannot travel to our Allen, TX office. Sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform and are just as engaging as in-person visits. Parent coaching translates especially well to teletherapy.

What is the Hanen It Takes Two to Talk® program?

Hanen It Takes Two to Talk® is a research-based program designed for parents of young children with language delays. As a certified Hanen therapist, Naba weaves parent training into every session — teaching you exactly how to support your child's communication during daily routines like bath time, meals, and play. This dramatically increases carryover and results.

What is pediatric feeding therapy?

Feeding therapy and parent coaching for young children experiencing mealtime challenges — including picky eating, limited food repertoire, food exploration difficulties, and trouble transitioning to solids or new textures. Sessions are child-led and low-pressure, always focused on making mealtimes a positive, stress-free experience for the whole family.

We use the AEIOU Systematic Approach, an evidence-based framework that addresses the whole child:

  • Acceptance — building comfort and trust around new foods without pressure
  • Exposure — research shows 10–15 positive exposures before a child accepts a new food
  • Independence — the child leads; sessions are low-pressure and child-directed
  • Observation — environmental and sensory factors considered
  • Understanding — caregivers leave with a clear picture and practical strategies for home

Parent coaching is woven into every feeding session — because the real progress happens at the kitchen table.
