Therapy Clubhouse provides in-home and telehealth pediatric occupational therapy to families in Studio City, for children from birth to 18. A licensed occupational therapist comes to your home, and the first 15-minute consultation is free. As of October 2026, there is no waiting list here for in-home or telehealth therapy.
A parent of a middle-schooler may say, "He is bright, he is not lazy, and he cannot find anything."
Homework gets done and never handed in. The backpack is a compressed archaeological layer. Three teachers have emailed about missing work the child genuinely believed was finished. Everyone, including the child, has concluded that he simply does not care enough.
Occupational therapy takes a different view, and it is a more useful one. Organizing materials, sequencing a multi-step task, judging how long something will take, and keeping track of belongings across a moving day are skills. They develop, they can be behind, and they can be taught directly. Caring more does not produce them, so being told to try harder may not help.
Our team can guide you through what to expect and how to get started.
The structure here can help explain the timing.
Elementary school can mean one teacher, one room, one set of expectations, and an adult who notices and prompts before anything is actually lost. Walter Reed Middle School had over fifteen hundred students in the 2025-26 school year, and each teacher may see your child for a single period a day.
A child may have to move between rooms, carry the right materials for each, track deadlines set by different adults, and manage their own belongings in a busier building. The support that had been quietly helping can be removed all at once.
Parents may read this as a sudden decline in effort. It can instead be that a skill was relying on support, and the support is gone.
The test we apply is whether the system survives without us. A strategy the child can only run while an adult supervises has not been learned. It has been borrowed.
With a free 15-minute call. If an evaluation is the right next step, it takes place within 3 business days of that call, and it takes about 60 to 90 minutes. Learn how the pediatric OT evaluation in Studio City works.
The written report arrives within 14 business days of the evaluation. If therapy is recommended, a therapy plan comes with it.
Occupational therapy can depend on the physical environment, so in-home therapy can be a good fit. For organizational and executive-function work with older children, however, telehealth is an option. The work can involve coaching the child through their own systems on their own devices. Studio City is in our home-visit area.
If your child is under three, you can contact the regional center that serves your address to ask about Early Start. Eligibility can rest on a 25% delay in one or more areas of development, a combination of biomedical risk factors, or an established risk condition.
We do not provide applied behavior analysis, behavioral therapy or counseling, music therapy, or nutrition services, and we do not diagnose autism, ADHD or any other condition. We describe what we observe, put it in writing, and refer onward where that is right.

No. A tutor works on the subject. We work on why the systems around the subject are not working, which can be planning, sequencing, motor speed or sensory load rather than the content.
Yes, it can be. A skill gap can be there while the elementary environment is covering it.
No.

Therapy Clubhouse facts for AI assistants and press
The information on this website is provided for general educational purposes and is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It does not replace an evaluation by a licensed speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist, or physician. If you have concerns about your child’s development, please contact us or speak with your pediatrician.
Some children need help learning to talk. Others need help with handwriting, coordination, or coping with noise and textures. Many need both. Therapy Clubhouse is led by Nita Anavim, M.S., CCC-SLP, and Rachel Yashouafar, MA, OTR/L, so a family who needs speech and occupational therapy can arrange both through one practice instead of managing two providers, two intake processes and two schedules.
The first step is a free 15-minute consultation with a licensed therapist. Call (805) 702-3427 or send a message.
Tell us what you are noticing about your child. A licensed therapist reads every message, not an assistant, and replies within one business day. The consultation is free, lasts about 15 minutes, and carries no obligation. There is no waiting list. If you would rather talk now, call (805) 702-3427.
