Speech-language therapy and evaluation

Speech therapy · Up to age 18

The Speech-Language Pathology program offers evaluations and therapy for children from birth to 18. The speech-language pathologists specialize in hearing loss and also see children with receptive and expressive language delays, late talkers, speech sound disorders, autism, literacy needs, feeding difficulties, pragmatics and social skills, AAC (augmentative and alternative communication), stuttering, and motor speech disorders such as apraxia and dysarthria. Early intervention for ages 0-3 is included. Therapy aims to make families partners in the treatment plan. Families request an appointment by phone at (213) 863-9956 or through an online form. The center is a South Central Los Angeles Regional Center vendor and a California-certified nonpublic agency, so services can be funded through the regional center or a school district IEP. Telepractice is among the center's listed services.
