Pediatric Speech & OT in Newbury Park, CA

Pediatric Speech & OT in Newbury Park, CA

You’re watching your Newbury Park toddler at a playdate and it clicks: the other kids are chatting away, and yours is pointing, leading you by the hand, getting frustrated when you don’t understand. That noticing is worth acting on. Therapy Clubhouse provides pediatric speech-language therapy and occupational therapy for Newbury Park children from birth through age 18, through in-home visits and telehealth today, with a Westlake Village clinic opening minutes away on December 1, 2026. Every family starts with a free 15-minute consultation with a licensed speech or occupational therapist: no obligation, just answers.

As of October 2026, there is no waiting list here for in-home or telehealth therapy. An evaluation can begin within 3 business days of your free call, and a first session as soon as 5 days after you call, for in-home and telehealth families. On request, an evaluation can be done in a private office on Townsgate Road in Westlake Village.

What does pediatric speech therapy in Newbury Park help with?

Speech therapy helps children understand and use language, speak clearly, and connect with others. Speech therapy can help with late talking, hard-to-understand speech, stuttering, childhood apraxia of speech, social communication, and AAC for children who are minimally speaking. Just as importantly, we show you how to build language into snack time, bath time, and the car rides in between.

What does pediatric occupational therapy in Newbury Park help with?

Pediatric occupational therapy in Newbury Park helps with fine-motor and handwriting skills, sensory processing and self-regulation, coordination, and independence with dressing, utensils, and school routines. If your child avoids coloring, seems clumsier than peers, chews on everything, or unravels in loud rooms, an OT evaluation can help you understand why.

How do I know if my child needs therapy?

Trust what you notice: few words by age two, speech strangers cannot understand by three, or trouble with handwriting and scissors. You don’t need a diagnosis to ask. Speech sound differences are common: the NIDCD estimates 8 to 9% of young children have a speech sound disorder, so a look either reassures you or gets support started early.

Do you offer in-person and telehealth therapy in Newbury Park?

Yes, we offer both in-home and telehealth therapy in Newbury Park. Newbury Park is in our home-visit area, and telehealth is available today. Our in-person clinic opens in Westlake Village on December 1, 2026, so in-clinic care will be an option for Newbury Park and Dos Vientos families. In-home sessions let your child practice in familiar routines and Conejo Valley school schedules.

Is the consultation free, and what’s the difference from an evaluation?

Yes, the consultation is free, and it is not the same as an evaluation. The 15-minute consultation is genuinely free and comes with no obligation, a conversation with a licensed therapist to answer your questions and suggest a next step. It is not an evaluation. If therapy is a fit, the next step is a comprehensive, play-based evaluation (insurance can be used through Village, or you can pay privately with a superbill for possible reimbursement) mapping your child’s strengths and needs. No diagnosis is required to begin.

What if my child is under 3?

Children from birth to 36 months in Ventura County may qualify for Early Start through Tri-Counties Regional Center (TCRC), and Therapy Clubhouse is a vendored TCRC provider. For context, about 1 in 6 children ages 3 through 17 has one or more developmental disabilities (CDC). Here’s how Early Start works.

Can you support my child’s Conejo Valley school or IEP?

Yes, we can support your child's school plan or IEP. Private therapy and Conejo Valley Unified services are designed to answer different questions, so they run alongside each other rather than competing. School services are tied to how a child is doing in the educational setting and have their own eligibility process. Private therapy focuses on the goals you and your therapist set for your child.

When should I reach out?

Therapy Clubhouse was founded by two licensed pediatric clinicians and mothers, Nita Anavim, M.S., CCC-SLP, and Rachel Yashouafar, MA, OTR/L (USC-trained, certified in sensory integration).

Serving Newbury Park families

We visit homes in Newbury Park, Thousand Oaks, and Westlake Village.

Working alongside your Newbury Park school team

Newbury Park sits inside Conejo Valley Unified, the same district that serves the rest of Thousand Oaks. The campuses your child actually attends, though, are not the same ones. Newbury Park families feed to Newbury Park High School on Reino Road, and in Dos Vientos the school of residence is Sycamore Canyon, which runs Kindergarten through eighth grade on a single campus.

That K-8 structure can matter more for an IEP than you might expect. When a child moves from a K-5 elementary to a separate middle school, the IEP team can change, and you may find yourself re-explaining your child from scratch to people who have never met them. At a K-8 campus the same team can follow your child for nine years. Continuity like that can help, and a fresh look at the plan can help too.

Newbury Park is in Ventura County, so Early Start may come through Tri-Counties

Because Newbury Park is in Ventura County, a child under three who qualifies may receive Early Start through Tri-Counties Regional Center rather than a Los Angeles County center. A parent can contact Tri-Counties directly to start an Early Start referral.

One detail worth knowing: the county line does not follow the way people talk about this area. Households a few minutes east, in parts of Westlake Village, can sit on the Los Angeles County side and route to a completely different regional center. Regional centers themselves warn that some ZIP codes are shared between them. So if you have moved within the Conejo Valley, do not assume your referral goes where your neighbor's went. Route it by street address, not by ZIP code, and confirm before you wait.

You are at the west end of the valley. Does that change anything?

Being at the west end of the valley does not change what we offer. Newbury Park is in our home-visit area.

What we work on and how long a session runs are the same as anywhere else we visit. If you hope for a particular day or time, or two sessions a week, ask about it on the first call.

Families can switch between home visits and telehealth at any time.

How therapy actually works for Newbury Park families

Right now, therapy for Newbury Park families happens in your home or by telehealth. In-home sessions let your child practice new skills in the rooms where they already play, eat, dress, and do homework. Telehealth is available when that fits your schedule better. Our Westlake Village clinic opens on December 1, 2026, adding a clinic option for Newbury Park families who would rather come to us.
