A 15-minute call with a licensed therapist
Maybe your child gets lost in long directions. Or maybe a teacher sent a note about speech sounds. Pediatric speech therapy in Oak Park can fit around the school day. A licensed speech-language pathologist helps a child understand and use language, speak clearly, and talk smoothly. The practice is built into play. No diagnosis or referral is needed.
Will a speech therapist see my child in Oak Park?
Yes, at home or at school. Oak Park is inside our home-visit area, and video sessions are available as well.
For school, preschool, or daycare visits, we need your written consent, and the school has to agree. Our team then reaches out to the staff and confirms a room that works, whether your child attends Red Oak, Oak Hills, Brookside, or another school.
If you prefer, the evaluation can take place in a private Townsgate Road office. Our clinic on the same road welcomes families from December 1, 2026.

What can pediatric speech therapy in Oak Park address?
Understanding and using words, saying sounds clearly, smooth speech, and the social side of talking.
Our language therapy helps a child understand what is said, follow directions, and put thoughts into words, like retelling what happened. Articulation therapy works on speech sounds, and stuttering therapy on smoothness. We also work with children who have childhood apraxia of speech or social communication needs. Our speech services include feeding and myofunctional therapy too.
Does Oak Park Unified provide speech services?
It does, as part of special education. Speech and language services appear on Oak Park Unified's list of Designated Instruction and Services.
The district explains that these services supplement a student's main special education placement. It also describes a strong commitment to inclusion and to the least restrictive setting.
Want the district to assess your child? Write a request that lists your concerns, then sign and date it. That is the advice of the Ventura County SELPA, which includes every public district in the county.
What about toddlers in Oak Park?
An Oak Park child under 3 may be eligible for Early Start. Tri-Counties Regional Center handles it for Ventura County, and we are one of its providers.
Tri-Counties says a family can refer a child at any time if a parent or doctor suspects a delay. Tri-Counties describes Early Start as a statewide program coordinated by regional centers and public school districts.
How quickly can an Oak Park family begin?
Reach us Monday, and your child can be evaluated by Wednesday. Rush evaluations are available too.
Sessions can start before the written report, as soon as 5 days from the call. The report is yours within 14 business days after the evaluation, with a treatment plan if therapy is recommended, and as of October 2026 we keep no waiting list.
The pediatric speech evaluation in Oak Park is explained on its own page.
Nita Anavim, M.S., CCC-SLP, guides our speech therapy. She co-founded the practice and still treats children herself.
What does speech therapy cost an Oak Park family?
That depends on your coverage. We review it with you on the free call, before you decide anything.
Village, our partner, can bill TRICARE. It can also bill a PPO plan offered through several major insurers. Each visit carries an added Village fee. Private pay with a superbill is also possible, as is Early Start for a child under 3 who qualifies. Details: Village insurance and payment options.
Questions from Oak Park parents
Is language different from speech sounds?
Yes. Some children speak clearly but struggle with language. Others have strong language but sounds that are hard to understand.
Does my child need an IEP to see you?
No. Private therapy does not require an IEP, a diagnosis, or a referral.
Can you coordinate with my child's teacher?
Yes, once you give written consent, our team can speak with the school.
Speech therapy is also available in Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, and Thousand Oaks. Oak Park families can also find occupational therapy and social skills groups, along with more on the Oak 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.
