I was really happy with the goals we set, because they were collaborative and looked at speech in a holistic way that was just what I needed. There was excellent support for adjunct activities that would enhance my progress. I really appreciated the recommendations Julia made. I really felt motivated to continue my journey with her guidance, and obtained results better than what I expected. The entire office is wonderful and responsive. I really appreciate that I was able to email questions and also had an electronic portal where I could access documents. Julia and everyone at Speak Live Play surpassed my expectations with the specialized care! You won't be encountering a mechanical process here: instead it's personalized and takes your needs into consideration. I'm so happy I chose this practice, and recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their speech. It's so convenient to have in-home care as an option as my work schedule is busy. It's also good to know that they work with many different levels of functioning - it's apparent that they're able to accommodate so many needs and are knowledgeable in their approaches. I'm really lucky to have picked this practice.

He came for a speech delay, but ended up gaining a family. They really care about him and are invested in his life. I really believe they do this because they care about children and not for financial gains. They have been so wonderful with my family even to the point where my insurance does not cover any of their services but I pay out-of-pocket because it's been invaluable for my son. I do a mix of in-home in office and in school so they can facilitate all kinds of speech needed.

We noticed a big difference after our second or third session. Our daughter who is 3.5 also attends a group session 1x a week for the last 3 months to work on her social communication skills (she's extremely shy) and she's so comfortable there working with all of the therapists and improving each week on speaking up and engaging with all of the children in her peer group. We moved from Greenwich, CT and we were recommended to continue with Sarah once we arrived in LA and we couldn't be happier. Looking forward to Fall and watching my children blossom under Sarah's guidance!!

I cannot tell you how amazed I was at her growth. Her preschool teachers at were amazed at her growth: in speech and confidence.

I am constantly amazed at the energy level they give to my child. She loves going "to camp". Special education is a rough field. I've seen so many well meaning people who are burnt out. I'm skeptical when people want to work with my child. LA Speech has renewed my faith.

Over the years, we've worked with many therapists within the organization, and every single one has made a meaningful impact on our journey. We are now in the Adults Employment reediness Group. Were my daughter is working on preparing herself to be able to work. Not only have they supported my daughter's growth, but they've also guided me as a parent helping me navigate some very challenging times with care, patience, and understanding. That kind of support is truly priceless. LA Speech & Language Therapy Center more than just an organization it feels like family. The environment is warm, compassionate, and genuinely focused on each individual's success. Most importantly, they've helped my daughter build confidence and feel comfortable in her own skin and also feel supported and make long lasting friendships and there is absolutely nothing more valuable than that. Thank you to Dr. Wiley, Dr. Ashley, and all the therapist and staff that has been committed to every single child that has walked through their doors. I am forever grateful and highly recommend LA Speech & Language Therapy Center to any family seeking support and guidance.

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.

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!

She's also extremely knowledgeable, and is able to explain the roadmap for what she is working on not only now, but in the future, and how it will help our son overcome the challenges he came in with.

We decided to do the Kinder Prep Camp after having done the Friendship Club, and were very…read moredisappointed with the lack of compassion and accommodation for our anxious 5-year-old compared to all the other regular camps we did this summer. We received a call within an hour of him being at the camp that he was stressed and overstimulated and didn't want to participate, so he was going to need extra support to stay. This was shocking to me considering how little time he had been there, that the point of it was to help kids adjust to kindergarten, and that their ratio was 2 adults to 7 kids. They told me that he consistently improved over the course of the first day and further improved on the second day, but that it would be too costly to keep another adult there to help him. It was sad for us because he left on a high note, telling me that he'd made a friend and that he had done a better job staying in the group. He clearly felt like a success and I wish he'd been given the opportunity to continue improving, but I didn't want him to stay at a camp where the facilitators believed that he was too much for them. He successfully did a year of TK last year and several other camps this summer, some with a ratio of 1 adult to 16 kids. CSC was polite to me and pro-rated me the other days, but it was upsetting because I assumed the most expensive camp I signed up for this summer (held at a therapy location) would be the greatest success, not the one camp that had to call me about an issue. This camp may work out for kids who are already very familiar with their gym environment and don't really need that much help when they feel anxious, but if you're looking for something that will help your child if they struggle in a new environment, this does not seem like the best choice. Some camps that worked well for us this summer were Pedalheads, Compass Clinic's Friendship Island Camp, Campbell Hall's Creative Arts Camp, and Destination Science.

The activities she provided during the sessions kept the kids engaged and motivated to stay focused on their speech practice. We are a family that practices NVC(non-violent communication) and Sabrina supported our wishes to not use a rewards/punishment method or food during our sessions. The time spent after each session talking with her one-on-one was key in staying on the same page, sharing updates, and learning how to continue the speech practice throughout the week. Sabrina was also timely, flexible, and proactive about advance schedule needs. You won't be sorry you've chosen Sabrina!
