Pediatric speech therapy in Newbury Park for talkers of every age
From a toddler's first words to a teenager's stutter, we work with Newbury Park children at home, at school, and over video.
Newborns up to 18 year olds
One free 15-minute phone call; no referral
Can be the same week you call
Maybe a teacher mentioned that your child stretches or repeats sounds. Or maybe a younger sibling is suddenly saying more than the older one. Pediatric speech therapy in Newbury Park can meet you where you are. Speech therapy for kids pairs a child with a licensed speech-language pathologist, who works on clear sounds, smooth speech, understanding, and the words a child needs to say what they mean. Games and everyday talk carry most of that work for Newbury Park kids. No diagnosis or referral is needed.
Can a speech therapist come to our Newbury Park home?
Yes. Newbury Park sits inside the area we visit, and video sessions are an option whenever they fit your week better.
If the school agrees and you give written permission, school visits are possible too: on campus, at preschool, or at daycare. Before that first school visit, our team speaks with the staff and confirms a suitable room. For the evaluation, a private office on Townsgate Road can be used on request, and our new clinic opens there on December 1, 2026.

Can pediatric speech therapy in Newbury Park ease stuttering?
Yes. Stuttering therapy is one of the speech services we offer, and parents play a real part in it.
Along with stuttering and fluency therapy, our speech services cover articulation, language, childhood apraxia of speech, social communication, myofunctional habits, and feeding. Every treatment plan includes coaching for you, so the strategies carry over into car rides and bedtime stories.
How do I ask Conejo Valley Unified to assess my child?
Put the request in writing. The Ventura County SELPA, the special education group Conejo Valley Unified belongs to, says to name your areas of concern, then sign and date the letter.
The SELPA suggests handing it to school staff, and it names the principal or the school psychologist as a good choice. The district's own assessors, such as the school psychologist or speech therapist, decide which tests to give.
Already have an IEP and want to meet? According to the district's FAQ, it has 30 calendar days to hold an IEP meeting that a parent requests. School breaks longer than 5 days in a row pause that clock.
Is there a district preschool program in Newbury Park?
Yes. Conejo Valley Unified's Be Me Preschool has a campus on Via Rio in Newbury Park, called Sycamore Canyon.
Its classes are for 3 and 4 year olds who qualify for special education, and the district calls the program play-based and language enriched. Private speech therapy with us can run alongside it at home, or at the preschool once you consent in writing and the preschool agrees.
How fast can a Newbury Park family get started?
A Newbury Park family that reaches us Monday can have its evaluation by Wednesday, and rush evaluations can be requested.
Therapy itself can start ahead of the paperwork: the first session may take place 5 days after you call. The full report, together with a treatment plan if therapy is recommended, follows inside 14 business days of the evaluation.
The pediatric speech evaluation in Newbury Park is explained on its own page.
At Therapy Clubhouse, speech therapy falls under Nita Anavim, M.S., CCC-SLP, a founder of the practice who keeps a caseload of families herself.
Will insurance help pay for speech therapy?
It might, depending on the plan. On the free call we look at your coverage before you agree to anything.
Our partner Village handles the insurance side, billing TRICARE or a PPO plan your family has through one of several major insurers, and adds its own per-visit fee. Families can also pay privately and submit our superbill, and Tri-Counties Regional Center offers Early Start to toddlers under 3 who qualify. Read about Village billing and every way to pay.
What Newbury Park parents ask about speech therapy
Should I correct my child when they stutter?
Please talk it through with the therapist first. Parent coaching is part of the stuttering plan, and it covers how to react when your child gets stuck on a word.
Can therapy happen while my child is at school?
It can, once you have signed a consent form and the school has said yes. Our team arranges it with the school and checks the room before the first visit.
How long is each session?
Between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the service. The evaluation itself takes longer, roughly an hour to an hour and a half.
Close by, speech therapy also reaches Thousand Oaks, Lake Sherwood, and Moorpark. Newbury Park families can also explore occupational therapy and social skills groups, or head back to the Newbury Park page.
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.
“Treatment often involves teaching parents about ways to support their child’s production of fluent speech.”
Roughly 5 to 10 percent of all children stutter for some period, lasting from a few weeks to several years, the NIDCD reports.
