Early intervention program (ages 18 months–5 years)
Small-group early intervention for children ages 18 months to 5 who have language and communication delays, social communication challenges, limited play skills, sensory and regulation needs, or feeding and adaptive skill concerns. Cohorts are capped at 10 children and run Monday through Friday, 8:45 AM to 12:45 PM (20 hours a week), in 12–14 week blocks through fall, winter, spring and summer. The approach blends play-based learning, RDI-informed relationship strategies, Natural Environment Teaching, behavioral supports and total communication (spoken language, visual supports, AAC when appropriate). Speech and OT support is embedded in the group, and 1:1 intervention is added when clinically appropriate. Parent coaching helps carry strategies home, and in-home support may be available. Enrollment is session-based; referrals and consultations are welcome, and a free 15-minute consultation is offered. The clinic is on the North LA County Regional Center provider list.
