Our East County speech therapist brings warm, play-based speech and language therapy right to your home in La Mesa, El Cajon, Santee, and Chula Vista, or virtually anywhere in California.
How We Help
How we help your child communicate
•
Late talkers & language delay — building first words, vocabulary, and sentences
• Speech sound clarity — helping others understand your child
• Understanding & following directions (receptive language)
• Social communication — conversation, play, and connecting with peers
• Stuttering and fluency support
• Speech that connects to feeding — because the mouth muscles overlap, we coordinate with our feeding, lactation support, and orofacial myofunctional (OMD) services when appropriate
