Maybe another parent at the playground asked what your child just said. Or maybe your pediatrician suggested a speech check. Pediatric speech therapy in Agoura Hills can begin at your kitchen table. With a licensed speech-language pathologist, a child works on understanding words, putting them into sentences, and saying sounds clearly. Sessions are built around play, and parents learn how to keep practice going between visits. No diagnosis or referral is needed.
Can sessions happen at home in Agoura Hills?
At home, at your child's school, or over video. Agoura Hills is part of our home-visit area.
School, preschool, and daycare sessions need your written consent first, plus the school's approval. Then our team calls the school, sets a time, and checks the room. Evaluations can also be scheduled, on request, at a private Townsgate Road office. Our clinic opens on that road December 1, 2026.

What does pediatric speech therapy in Agoura Hills treat?
Problems with understanding words, finding them, joining them, or saying them clearly. Stuttering and social communication too.
Language therapy is for understanding and using words. Articulation therapy is for speech sounds that are hard to understand. We also treat stuttering, childhood apraxia of speech, and social communication. A speech therapist can lead feeding therapy or myofunctional therapy too.
Which regional center serves toddlers in Agoura Hills?
North Los Angeles County Regional Center, going by ZIP code: 91301, an Agoura Hills ZIP code, is on its service-area list.
NLACRC's Early Start page says a child under 3 can qualify with a delay of at least 25 percent in one or more areas. Those areas include expressive and receptive communication, meaning talking and understanding. It also says anyone can make a referral, and NLACRC's eligibility page says deciding eligibility may take up to 45 days.
Tri-Counties Regional Center, whose Early Start families we serve, does not cover Agoura Hills; it serves Ventura County. Private speech therapy with us is open to Agoura Hills toddlers either way.
Is there an inclusive public preschool in Agoura Hills?
Yes. Las Virgenes Unified runs Buttercup Preschool on the Yerba Buena Elementary campus in Agoura Hills.
The district calls it a model program. Children with special needs and their typically developing peers share a classroom there. Children must be 3 to start, and families who live in the district get priority.
Speech therapy with us can run alongside preschool. With your consent, our team can coordinate with the teachers.
How soon can an Agoura Hills child begin?
Fast. When you call on a Monday, the evaluation can take place that Wednesday.
Therapy does not need to wait for the written report. A first session can be as soon as 5 days after your call. You will have the report in hand no more than 14 business days after the evaluation, with a treatment plan if therapy is recommended. As of October 2026, our speech schedule has no waiting list, and rush evaluations can be arranged.
Read about the pediatric speech evaluation in Agoura Hills on its own page.
Speech therapy here follows the lead of Nita Anavim, M.S., CCC-SLP, who helped found the practice and is still hands-on with families.
How do Agoura Hills families pay for speech therapy?
Through insurance billed by Village, or by paying privately with a superbill. On the free call, we check your plan first.
Village, our billing partner, accepts TRICARE. It also takes PPO plans offered by several major insurers. On every visit, Village adds a fee of its own, separate from any copay, coinsurance, or deductible. Learn about insurance through Village and the other payment options.
Agoura Hills parents ask
My child is 2 and has only a few words. Should we wait?
You do not have to wait and see. An evaluation is how you find out where things stand, and if therapy is not needed, we will say so.
Does private speech therapy replace school services?
No. It can run alongside them, and with your written consent, our team can coordinate with the school.
Can sessions happen at my child's preschool?
Yes. Once you sign a consent form and the preschool approves, we set it up directly with them.
Speech therapy also comes to families in Westlake Village, Oak Park, and Calabasas. Agoura Hills children can get occupational therapy too, and social skills groups meet nearby; see the Agoura Hills page for everything else.
Not sure if your child needs therapy?
Start with a free 15 minute consultation. No commitment, just clarity on whether your child would benefit and what the next step looks like.
Speech therapy and occupational therapy for children ages 0 to 18.
“Children with language disorders might have trouble understanding what others say or difficulty sharing their thoughts.”
NIDCD statistics show that 3.3 percent of children in the U.S., ages 3 to 17, had a language disorder that lasted a week or more in the past year.
