The Best Speech Therapy in Torrance, CA

Pediatric speech therapy services have to cover a lot of ground. Language (meaning shared, rule-governed communication) and speech (vocal language output) can be impaired by many different conditions. Especially with working with children, it can be tricky to make an accurate diagnosis. The distinction between a speech impairment and a language impairment can also be troublesome to correctly identify. All of this means that working with children to develop speech and language skills is highly complex. Our staff at Lynne Alba Speech Therapy Solutions strive to continue educating themselves on communication disorders. We see over 200 patients a week, with over 200 different diagnoses. Our unique selling point is that, unlike other clinics, we focus exclusively on treating speech and language disorders. This means that we can focus full time on our speech language pathologists’ work. Above all, we lead in designing programs for individual patients. Because each patient has unique needs, each program necessarily must be customized to those needs. That is far and away the best method of ensuring progress with each patient’s condition. This has been a central pillar of our clinic’s operation since its founding in 1998. Since then, our plans have incorporated modern and highly comprehensive strategies and techniques adapted to each patient. Our emphasis is on creating a holistic environment for the patient to develop in, with immediate caregivers and/or family having a physical presence. Our founder Lynne Alba’s vision has always been that our patients would be able to receive ‘concierge services’ during their time at the clinic. Therefore, this is the level of service we strive to provide. We take pains to make the process of speech therapy easier on you and your family, so if you require recommendations, we are always happy to provide.

 

Pediatric Speech Therapy in the South Bay

Our treatment plans are the best because we are laser focused on how we can treat each patient. Not how easily we can categorize them into one of our existing plans. Not how we can get away with providing basic language or physical therapy and maintain a client through glacial speeds of development. Our goal is to observe definite and marked improvement in our patients. One of our most popular programs that many families with young patients take advantage of is called Toddler Talk. It is an early intervention program which takes in children aged 18 months to 3 years of age. A speech pathologist and aide lead the group, which consists of 3 or 4 toddlers and their caregivers. The high adult-to-child ratio provides each toddler with substantial opportunity for individualized instruction and learning. Another pediatric program that we offer is called Kid Talk. It is a social skills program designed and led by speech language pathologists. It’s one of a kind and focused exclusively on giving your child help with their speech and language communication skills. Each group is personalized to support your child and their peers. The children are mentored by professionals who are fully briefed on their issues, and equipped to provide them with the aid needed. Children from age 4 to 18 can participate in a Kid Talk group. The focus is on using both verbal and non-verbal language to interact, share feelings, and solve problems. Peer feedback and encouragement is a significant component of the group dynamic. Children are taught to teach each other and give positive feedback to their peers. One of the most effective elements of working with peers on speech and language issues is that teaching someone else a skill reinforces the fundamentals of that skill. Not only that, it has been proven that teaching a skill assists with memory retention.

 

Seeking Adult Speech Therapy in Los Angeles County

Adult speech difficulties are not as rare as you’d think. Stuttering, dysarthria, voice problems, and articulation difficulties can all present themselves. Luckily speech therapy can do a lot to ameliorate them. Health care professionals learn more about these and other speech and language conditions every day. The range of tools we have to address these conditions expand and improve, too. There is no need to struggle alone with a condition. So long as sufferers are willing to work on their conditions and learn, there is opportunity to improve. We are able to support adults with a variety of conditions. This range includes dysarthria, larynx problems, brain injuries, stutters, and complications from conditions such as MS or Parkinson’s. Even if you have previously struggled with a speech or language disorder to no end, there are many new developments with assistive technology, both hi- and low-tech. Unlike other speech and language clinics, which overwhelmingly focus on pediatric populations, we provide for patients of all ages. Our adult sessions are one-on-one only with individualized therapy solutions. Our clinic space has a room set aside specifically for adult therapy sessions, with modern decor to help reassure our patients. Undergo speech and language therapy in surroundings that remind you of home.

 

Especially when it comes to working with elderly patients, speech therapy can be more about preserving what speech and language functionality they have. Sometimes it’s about recovering what functionality is possible after a severe injury or stroke. Adjusting to limitations and communicating effectively within them can be difficult. With professional speech therapists sensitive to the difficulties of the situation available, this can be far less trying than otherwise.
