Evaluations to Understand Your Child’s Needs and Support Meaningful Growth

Evaluations

Every therapy journey at SoCal Therapy Network begins with a comprehensive evaluation designed to understand your child’s unique communication profile. During this session, your therapist uses a combination of standardized assessments, informal activities, conversation, and play-based observation in a natural, engaging environment. Parents and caregivers are included every step of the way to provide insight into your child’s strengths, preferences, and daily routines.

Because we work privately, our evaluations focus on what matters most to your family and your child’s real-life needs. After the evaluation, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining your child’s current communication skills, areas for growth, and individualized goals that will guide therapy. Our approach is neuroaffirming, positive, and centered on meaningful progress.

Early Intervention

Early intervention builds the foundation for strong communication and learning. Research shows that starting therapy early leads to faster progress and lasting results. Our sessions focus on expanding your child’s vocabulary, understanding, and ability to express themselves in natural ways through:

  • Play and everyday routines

  • Songs and people games

  • Favorite toys and interests

Parents are active partners in the process, learning simple, practical strategies that help them feel confident supporting language growth and connection during everyday interactions.

Speech

We help children develop clear, confident speech by strengthening the coordination, sound patterns, and rhythm of communication, so they can be easily understood in everyday life. Each session is engaging and encouraging, using evidence-based methods to improve intelligibility and strengthen the skills needed for clear, confident communication. We support:

  • Articulation - teaching precise sound production through targeted practice

  • Apraxia of speech - using motor-based, multi-sensory techniques to improve speech coordination

  • Phonological skills - building consistent sound patterns through language-based approaches

Therapy is individualized and progress-focused, helping every child find their voice and communicate with clarity and ease.
