My son was initially diagnosed with autism . When he was 3, he was diagnosed with mild to moderate ASD and he has be undergoing speech therapy with Miss Louise for the last two years. The qualities that make her stand out from other therapists are her patience, her creativity and her perseverance. She will not give up easily if your child is not making the progress that is typically expected. Her kind and innovative approach to learning drew my son to her instantly. He does not respond or comply with just anybody. Aside from that, she is adamant about keeping parents informed of skills and techniques that need to be practiced at home to help your child succeed. She is very good about following up and has taught me that parent involvement is key. I would refer Miss Louise to anyone who is looking for a speech pathologist, but especially for those who have a child on the spectrum or with behavioral issue read more

Ms Rebecka is an outstanding speech teacher who has really helped my 4 year old son with his pronunciation and articulation. I have had a lot of experience with speech teachers, and I can confidently say that Ms Rebecka is one of the best teachers I have come across. Would highly recommend! read more

I truly recommend this virtual sessions they're great, my kid is 2 years we been working with the therapist Louis she's amazing she knows her job very good my kid learned many things with her and if you are afraid to take virtual classes don't be I think it's even better because the kids feels more comfortable at home... The therapist Louis is very professional read more

Everything started well until my health got worse. I had to cancel my son's session, but when his therapist had to things to do it was fine to inconvenience me. She made it seem like it was all my fault!! read more

I cannot recommend Rebecka enough! She has been working with my daughter on a few sounds that she was having trouble articulating and we have seen tremendous improvement in a short time! She is incredibly caring and has made speech therapy so comfortable and a fun experience for my four year old. Thank you, Rebecka! read more

Worked with other speech therapist in the past and my daughter did not have significant improvement. We started working with Louise virtually for the last 2 years and my daughter is so talkative now it's hard to believe she had a speech delay before. Thank you so much SLEA! read more

My son has been receiving speech therapy since he was 18 months old from SLEA. He is now 9yrs old and speaks so well. We are only working on prismatics now. From a kid that barely spoke to one that won't stop talking! We have had 1 therapist the entire time, Mr. Kevin, and he has been amazing. Not only is he great with my boy, he is informative and provides guidance and ways to help my son lock it all in. The back office has always been helpful and has worked with me and my insurance to ensure coverage and continued therapy. When you have an exceptional child, you need a village. I am grateful and glad that SLEA and Mr. Kevin are in ours read more

Louise is very personal and nice teacher!my daughter loves her.my daughter have a lot fun with Louise in every session.

First of all, parking is plentiful and free!! One of the few buildings in that area that not only offers free parking but also has security on site making sure all is good in the parking lot. Second, lobby area is clean and usually empty when Im there waiting while my daughter and sons have their speech therapy sessions. Third and lastly, Natalie, my children's speech therapist is amazing. In our household we exclusively speak to both our children in Spanish so when we realized that our daughters speech development was a bit behind it wasn't easy finding a speech therapy vendor who provided bilingual services. After calling over 10 vendors, I found out SLEA was able to accommodate our unique situation and decided to give them a try. Because of Natalie, both of my children have improved immensely in their speech. Natalie is patient, kind, and super flexible. She is also quick to response to any questions I may have or if I need to make any changes to my kids schedule. My kids love her and very much look forward to seeing her. We're super happy with Natalie and SLEA. read more

I've been taking my son to this pace for over a year now. I can't explained how happy and satisfied I feel. Ryan has been so caring, understanding and supportive for n my child's journey. My son looks forward to his sessions and watching his growth makes me so happy. I highly recommend this place for your children. read more

We have worked with Louise since 2020. She is the very best. She is always professional and upbeat. My son Todrick has improved his speech on several levels. Louise has several interesting techniques to work with him to keep his interest peaked. I am so glad to have found your organization. I would recommend you in a heartbeat. THANK YOU! read more

I have nothing but great things to say about SLEA and its amazing staff. My son just wrapped up one year of speech therapy and occupational therapy; he received speech therapy from Ms. Erika and occupational therapy from Ms. Lorraine. I cannot recommend these two enough. I have seen enormous improvement while he's been under their care and guidance. At 2 years old, he was not speaking or signing and had little joint attention. He was also not focusing well, lacked some gross motor skills and had some sensory issues. Now at almost 3, he is communicating through signs and words, has good focus and attention ability, is super active, willing to try more sensory activities and overall so much more confident in his abilities. I knew coming in that 1-on-1 therapy would be targeted for my son, but I didn't think how customized and individualized they would be. Both Ms. Erika and Ms. Lorraine leaned into my son's interest at all times (cars, ABC's, etc.) to help with his receptive, expressive and adaptive behavior skills. Ms. Erika was always thoughtful, swift in action and so kind and my son truly respected and adored her and their time together. She also provided incredible resources and recommendations to us which helped us at home with him. Ms. Lorraine was patient, observant and overall so much fun and Julian really loved playing and joking around with her which made him feel so comfortable and ready for adventure! She was also very in tune with his passions and always provided great suggestions on how to continue activities throughout the week. Both are fantastic and I highly recommend them! As for the facility itself, it's always super clean and every single person I've come across has been courteous, friendly and lovely to me and my son. Parking lot is always consistently open and available which helps if you're traveling from further away/running late (last thing you need to worry about!). There's also this really nice garden area in the atrium of the building which my son loves. read more

My daughter has recently started speech therapy here with Louise and we are highly impressed. Louise is patient, kind and she plays fun games which makes the lessons interesting and keeps engagement up. It's only been a few short weeks but there is a noticeable improvement in my daughter's speech. She looks forward to her lessons every week. She has had lessons before at another facility and what I like about Louise is that she is mature, experienced and knowledgable. She always confirms before the lessons, which is a great reminder too and she promptly sends "homework" right after the lesson. She provides meaningful feedback and is also quite flexible. I am so happy we were recommended to SLEA and would highly recommend Louise. read more

My daughter has been a client with his company for many years with OT. Bailey was one of our 1st therapists and she was absolutely amazing and when she moved on to more of an organisational position she was replaced with Ryan. Ryan is caring and conscientious and organised and my daughter is really thriving with the zoom therapy. I feel like Ryan does everything he can to make the sessions fun and educational. I highly recommend working with this company. read more

Louise , the speech pathologist was the best ! My daughter has speech delay and saw Louise for about 9 months . What an improvement we saw ! My daughter went in "humming" her words and when thErapy had to come to an end she was speaking 5-6 word sentences ! My LO was very comfortable around her. I definitely recommend Louise . She is very energetic and loving . I can't thank her enough for helping my LO and for teaching me a lot too. We will sure miss her.. read more

This place is a God-send. We noticed that my son was a little behind in speech for his age so we started taking him to SLEA in July 2019, right after his second birthday. In five months he went from only knowing about 50 words and primarily communicating using gestures to knowing over 200 words and speaking in 2-3 word sentences. WOW! Ms. Kathryn was so patient and kind with our son. She made him feel comfortable right away and he really enjoyed his sessions. I can't speak highly enough about SLEA and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking speech therapy for their child. read more

At an early age, I noticed that my son wasn't speaking nor babbling. I went into a spiral freak out and asked his pediatrician (constantly) to have him be evaluated. I'm so glad I did because my son got evaluated and was able to get speech sessions. Like most parents, I was worried about taking speech lessons virtually. But Louise is the most understanding, loving, fun, and best of all, sweetest speech therapist! She makes the sessions fun and very accommodating for my son, especially for those days where we have to do things particularly! I'm so thankful for this company and for Louise! Especially because they heard my concerns and talked me through it all. We're a year in his sessions and he's learned so much!! I can't thank Speech and language Associates and Louise enough for their support! read more

My son has been with Louse since he was 15 months he spoke only two words. His language is clear and he comprehend back and forth conversation. My son liam is now 5 and we are still with Louise great company and service. read more

I am so grateful for SLEA. The work and care they take with my daughter is amazing. Louise is a godsend. She always goes above and beyond. Not only does she flex her schedule so that Amelia doesn't miss a session but her patience with my daughter's behavior and occasional inattentiveness is amazing. Louise has been a shining light to us as we navigate our way through Amelia's transition from early intervention to IEPs at our school district. With her experience and knowledge, she has helped us with information about other agencies and therapies that have helped Amelia's progress immensely. She is always offering a helping hand to fill out paperwork or tips on how to get through an assessment. SLEA has been an essential part of my child's healthcare team. read more

It is with great pleasure that I have an opportunity to write this YELP for Speech-Language and Educational Associates. I have had the privilege of having my kids at SLEA for the past several years. My son is currently getting Speech support from two extraordinary therapists by the name of Ms. Cady and Ms. Erika. Under their guidance, his ability to communicate with his family and school peers has increased significantly as well as his self-confidence. We originally started with Speech in person but with the pandemic moved to telehealth and feel the convenience and set-up is just as functional as in person. The facility is top-notch, parking is easy, and the staff is very friendly and bi-lingual. Furthermore, if children are receiving services from the Westside Regional Center they are right below on the second floor. read more

I have removed my previous comments as in hindsight, they were too detailed. I received an apology from the director of SLEA, so I felt I could be more brief. My issue is with the therapist and not necessarily the organization. My twins received therapy with Jen D. She had a lot of last minute cancellations for my tastes. One in particular that was particularly egregious. For the therapy received: 4-5 stars (my kids did improve) For the speech therapist's level of professionalism and our overall experience/ including the questionable neighborhood of the Hollywood office/ and look of the Hollywood office: 1 star read more

My son received services from Jesse at the Culver City location, and absolutely loved it. He has now graduated having improved substantially in the 2 years he was here. Can't recommend Jesse highly enough! read more

We started speech therapy for our 3 year old son with Kelsey a few months back. Let me tell you she is absolutely amazing! She has the patience of a saint! There are some people that just have a kind spirit and she is one of them. My son responds well to her and her methods of getting him to pronounce his words. Every week he looks forward to his "dates" with "Ms. Kelsey." We are grateful for her and look forward to our son continued growth under her guidance. read more

They r the best Bennett is my sons speach therapist she has been a great help nd my son loves her nd let's not forget diane she is the best with helping me schedule my son appt. read more

So thankful for all my daughter learned while seeing Louise for speech therapy. Louise was very flexible and patient with my daughter. We had an afternoon appointment with her once a week and sometimes my daughter did not want to participate because she was tired. Louise was always understanding and would eventually be able to get her to participate. We appreciated her energy and humor and the way she would always check in after session! My daughter's speech improved so much and we really will miss seeing Louise! read more

I have seen an improvement in my child, the staff is always courteous, and attentive. The waiting rooms are clean and the Therapists are on their A game. They use games, toys, technology and they have a gym, you cant go wrong. Jesse G. is my sons therapist and is awesome. Thank you!!! Update nov 21 2018... my kid shows continued improvement and is on "fine tuning mode"... Jesse is the Albert Einstein of speech Therapy!!! read more

Sylvia Torres is currently working with my son. She is so patient and doing an amazing job! Thank you!

My son has been receiving speech services for only a brief time and so far he really enjoys his therapist. As soon as I mention, we are going to see Teacher Toya, he starts smiling and clapping his hands. In the past month or so she has given my husband and I some important tools that we could use to help our son. My family is really grateful for the service she provides. read more

Making the switch to SLEA from our previous providers was the best move for my sons progress. We began with speech therapy with Ms. Sindy. About a month later we started ABA with Ms. Tamika. Both ladies have been key in my sons recent progress. Compared to our previous providers the difference has been NIGHT AND DAY. The entire process from dealing with the intake staff, the insurance verification dept, scheduling and the therapist has been easy. My son had hit a wall and I knew he was capable of progress with the correct team and supervisor. Literally within the first 3 months everyone who has contact with my son has seen an improvement, in particular his school IEP team. I want to thank SLEA for taking our case and getting us to the next level. Keep doing what your doing. (culver city location) read more

Highly recommend SLEA! My 2.5 year old son was having speech delays. Louise worked with him for a couple of months and there has been so much improvement. She is so experienced and has great expertise. Louise has taught myself the different techniques and methods I can use at home to help my son. He was just reassessed and was advised he no longer needs speech therapy. Can't thank SLEA and Louise enough! read more

I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to share my experience with SLEA. My son came to SLEA with language issues and his therapist Santoya (Toya) has been a blessing to my family. Not only has my son improved and is speaking more, but she is patient, kind, understand, and my son gets excited to have his visits with her. I personally appreciate all that Toya has done for my family, and the advice that she has given to me in my own time of frustration is irreplaceable. This young lady is the best. I now have confidence that my son will be able to communicate. read more

This place has been amazing for my twin boys!! I have been coming to this office for over three years and our speech therapists have been extraordinary!! My boys have been diagnosed with autism with speech delay and this company has changed our lives. We started with Maria in the mornings and we slowly started to see that my boys speak and interact. Due to scheduling conflict the boys had to be switch to a later schedule with a brand new speech therapist. His name is Jesse, the most patient, loving, down to earth individual. No lie, my twins have shown a great improvements in their speaking abilities as well as their social skills, people always tell how well mannered my twins are. I tell everyone if it wasn't for their speech therapists Maria and Jesse, I do t know where would I have turned to. Speech and Language thrive for excellence and true dedication for their clients! Jesse has been a major instructor in my twins lives and I will follow him where ever he goes! If you are looking for a great speech therapist, look no further! They have truly been a second family to my kids and will always grateful for their dedication! Sasha Alvarenga mother of twins. read more

We have been coming to S, L, & E Associates for years and have been happy here. We have been seeing Sindy, a speech therapist, since early this year. We absolutely love her!!! She has helped my daughter progress by miles. We have been thrilled and even my daughter has noticed the results. She is a collaborator, she is innovative, & she is determined! Sindy is simply the BEST read more
