Inclusion Preschool Development
Our Happy Talkers therapists work closely with preschool staff to provide consultation and support within the classroom. We provide speech-language intervention, occupational therapy and the specialized assistance that children need to to be successful in all educational settings. The Happy Talkers team ensures children with developmental delays and disabilities thrive through curricula adapted to their individual needs, capabilities and learning goals.
Family Guidance Meeting
Finding the right programs and services for your child's individual needs can be a challenging and confusing process. That's why we provide all families with free guidance and support to assist in making decisions about what services are the most appropriate for their child. At our family meeting, we will construct a Plan of Action for your child with a recommendation as to what program or services would benefit your child and help them to reach their full potential.
Most importantly, you will have a new resource you can turn to whenever you need help; wherever your child goes to school or therapy!
(Please note that this is not a formal evaluation. If further evaluation is needed, we can set this up for you as a separate appointment.)
- You are welcome to bring your child to our Family Meeting.
- Please bring with you to the meeting any reports, evaluations, or IEPs you think will be helpful to share.
We can discuss with you resources to assist in obtaining insurance reimbursement or financial assistance to help with the cost of your child's services.

Individual Speech-Language Therapy
We provide specific, individualized treatment for speech-language disorders including: receptive/expressive language delays and disorders, speech impairment and delay, auditory processing disorders, fluency disorders and voice disorders. Our California state licensed & American Speech Language and Hearing Association certified Speech and Language Pathologists work in collaboration with family members, teachers and other paraprofessionals to ensure the greatest possible progress.
Individual Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy is directed toward helping children develop the abilities necessary for the many "occupations" of childhood such as learning, self-care, play, and socialization. Individualized treatment is aimed at developing the underlying sensory and motor foundation necessary for skill development and goals are focused on the child's ability to function in the classroom, at home, and at play. Communication with family members, teachers, and paraprofessionals is emphasized for continuity with programming to facilitate progress.
Individual Happy Scholars Tutoring
Your child will have the opportunity to work individually, one to two hours per week, on their educational goals, with a tutor that is guided by a speech-language pathologist as needed. Kindergarten readiness, classroom collaboration and ESL students are our specialty.
