Speech and occupational therapy in West Hollywood can start at home, without a long drive. Our therapists, all licensed in speech or OT, come to West Hollywood children, birth to 18, in the home and at school. We also offer video visits. No diagnosis or referral is needed. WeHo parents can call us directly.
Do your visits include West Hollywood?

Which school district and regional center cover West Hollywood?
Los Angeles Unified serves all of West Hollywood. For children under 3, your ZIP code decides the regional center, and Lanterman Regional Center's catchment map includes 90069.
West Hollywood Elementary, on North Hammond Street, is a Los Angeles Unified elementary school in the city.
LAUSD's Child Find page asks parents of school-age children to contact the principal of the school their address is assigned to. For children from 2 years 10 months, it names the Early Childhood Special Education office. For younger children, it lists the county's six regional centers.
Lanterman's Early Start program serves children from birth to 3 who have, or are at risk for, a developmental delay. Families in other West Hollywood ZIP codes should confirm their regional center first.
Lanterman's Koch-Young Resource Center offers information, education, and support for families of children with special needs.
Are there storytimes and play spaces for young kids in West Hollywood?
Yes. The West Hollywood Library on North San Vicente Boulevard lists early learning among its children's services. Its calendar has included a Baby and Toddler Storytime with stories and fingerplays.
Kings Road Park, a city park on North Kings Road, lists children's play areas. A storytime song or a turn on the slide gives your child a low-pressure way to try things out.

We can evaluate your child at home in West Hollywood, at school, or over a video call. Our speech evaluation walkthrough and OT evaluation walkthrough explain each part. You'll receive the written report in no more than 14 business days, and a treatment plan if therapy is recommended.
Which services come to West Hollywood families?
Every one of them, apart from social skills groups, which are based in Westlake Village.
That includes stuttering therapy for sounds that repeat or get stuck, feeding therapy for stressful mealtimes, and pediatric occupational therapy. For West Hollywood families, the work is led by our two founders. Nita Anavim, M.S., CCC-SLP, works in speech, and Rachel Yashouafar, MA, OTR/L, works in occupational therapy.

What are the ways to pay in West Hollywood?
Two. One is insurance, which our partner Village bills for families with TRICARE or with PPO coverage from several major insurers. Village charges a fee per visit. The other is private pay.
Depending on ZIP code, a West Hollywood family's regional center may be Lanterman Regional Center. Tri-Counties Regional Center, the one regional center we're a provider for, doesn't serve Los Angeles County. So West Hollywood families choose Village or private pay. Private payers get a superbill. Learn about Village insurance and our full list of payment options.
What else do West Hollywood parents ask?
Do sessions have to be at your clinic?
No. For West Hollywood families, sessions take place at home, at school, or by video. The Westlake Village clinic is there if you want it from December 1, 2026, on.
Can you see my child at West Hollywood Elementary or a daycare?
Yes. Sign a written consent, and once the school or daycare agrees, we contact them, set a time, and look over the room.
Do you help children who stutter?
Yes. A speech-language pathologist works with children who stutter, and you learn how to make talking easier at home.
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.
“These skills develop best in a world that is rich with sounds, sights, and consistent exposure to the speech and language of others.”
Young children ages 2 to 6 are the ones stuttering affects most often, though it can show up at any age, the NIDCD says.
If something about your child's talking, eating, or play has stayed on your mind, ask us about it. We'll start by listening.
