Local guide · IAH / Airport Area, Houston
The IAH / Airport Area includes families living in residential subdivisions around the airport. Start a speech-support inquiry with your home address. Keith-Wiess Park and Moody Library offer separate Houston outings that do not depend on visiting an airport terminal.
Local support
Start with your child’s age and home address. These public programs and the university clinic can explain how to request an evaluation.
Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) helps families of young children with developmental concerns. Search the Texas HHS finder with your home ZIP code. If it lists several programs, contact one to confirm which program serves your address. Explain your child’s age and the speech or language concerns you have noticed.
Find your ECI programUse the Texas school district locator, then confirm your home address with the district. Ask its special education team how to request an evaluation for your child. Houston city limits and neighborhood names do not determine school jurisdiction. A preschool or school evaluation checks eligibility; it does not guarantee services.
Find your school districtAfter confirming Houston ISD is responsible for your referral, follow its Child Find instructions. Contact your child’s school if your child is enrolled. The district explains separate steps for private school, homeschool, ECI transitions and children not enrolled in school.
Read Houston ISD referral stepsThe Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic offers child speech and language evaluations and treatment. Call 713-743-0915 or email [email protected] to ask about appointments. Confirm fees, evaluation language, insurance, referral requirements and whether the clinic can meet your child’s needs.

IAH / Airport Area, Houston
The city uses IAH / Airport Area for the communities surrounding the airport as well as other land uses. This guide is for families living in that wider area. Keith-Wiess Park and Moody Library are Houston options to plan separately. Airport terminals and an airport mailing address do not establish the school district or early intervention program responsible for a child's home.
A small outdoor visit can start before you reach Keith-Wiess Park. Let your child choose an item to bring, then use it as a familiar cue when you arrive. Follow something they notice from an appropriate public area. If they look at a vehicle, describe what it is doing and pause. There is no need to make the visit depend on seeing aircraft or hearing a particular sound.
At Moody Library, ask for a vehicle picture book that is available to borrow. Your child can choose a picture and move a toy in the same way. Use the vehicle they selected, even if it is different from the one you talked about outdoors.
