I honestly don't even know how to put into words how grateful we are for Lisa and her incredible…read moreteam at LKS! Before finding them, we had worked with eight different speech therapists. The general consensus was that my little guy just had a speech delay and would eventually catch up. His progress would plateau quickly, and it felt like something was missing or just wasn't clicking for him. Word-of-mouth led us to an assessment with Lisa when my son was about 2.5 years old. From the very first session, I could tell she really got him. Lisa immediately (correctly) suspected apraxia and began using a completely different approach tailored to his needs. The progress he has made in just five months has been nothing short of amazing. Lisa's expertise is unmatched, and you can feel how deeply invested she is in helping your child succeed. She and her wonderful team--especially Seenu and Erin--know exactly how to challenge my little guy while keeping every session fun, encouraging, and full of positivity. He happily walks into his sessions and comes out smiling every single time. Lisa is also incredibly responsive and collaborative. Working with her truly feels like a partnership. For the first time, I feel like we have a real plan and are seeing meaningful progress. We are beyond grateful for Lisa, Seenu, and Erin--they've truly changed our lives!

Now, a year later at age 4, He's talking more, expressing himself better, and his confidence has grown so much. His therapists, Ms. Kenzie and Ms. Emily, are incredible -- patient, caring, and very skilled. But what truly stands out is that the entire Santa Monica team operates with the same level of kindness, professionalism, and inclusivity. Everyone there is welcoming and supportive from the moment you walk in. They work with children of all abilities and all types of speech disorders, including kids with autism, ASL users, and children who communicate with AAC devices. They are respectful, inclusive, and meet each child right where they are. They also involve the whole family, offering guidance and tools so we can support our son at home. My son feels safe, understood, and excited for his sessions each week. Their flexibility with scheduling -- whether in-person or Zoom -- has been a huge help for our busy family. I truly can't say enough good things about this entire team. They've made such a positive difference in my son's communication and overall confidence. Highly recommend to any parent seeking caring and inclusive speech therapy.

Around 4 he was almost right where he should be for his age range. We continued our sessions as we wanted to complete other goals with his speech. I'm so grateful to have Mackenzie as my son's speech therapist. Mackenzie's kindness, resourcefulness and enthusiasm are bar none. Which is probably why my son is always so excited to see her. I'll never forget one my son's first sessions with her, he brought along a toy truck. She improvised the session to include the toy truck that he brought, which I thought was above and beyond. Highly recommend!

We had our last session with Emmy today and we were so sad about it! We were with Emmy for two…read moremonths starting when my son was 20 months old, who wasn't babbling or saying any words save for some animal sounds, and the progress he made in those 7 weeks was nothing short of remarkable. He's babbling, using a lot of sign language to communicate, and has started saying a ton more words. Having gone with him to every session, I also learned a lot about how to better communicate with my son and how to give him the tools he needs to succeed. The only reason we left Pediatric Therapy Playhouse was because we qualified for the free early intervention program through the state -- otherwise we would've stayed with Emmy! I would've gladly continued to make the 45-min drive twice a week to see her. My son became more and more comfortable every session and she made sure she evaluated his needs every day by dimming the lights, getting on his level and using the toys he's comfortable with. I will truly miss seeing Emmy every day! Thank you so much Pediatric Therapy Playhouse for helping my son!
