Supporting Your Child’s Growth from the Very Beginning
If your child is struggling to meet developmental milestones or you simply want to make sure they’re on the right track, early support can make a meaningful difference. At Small Talk Therapy, our Child Development Specialists work with children from birth to 3 years old to build essential skills through play, everyday routines, and guided interaction.
What Are Child Development Services?
Child development services focus on helping young children build the foundational skills they need for learning, communication, movement, and daily life. In other words, it’s like a preschool experience where your child can learn through play, guided interaction, and everyday activities in a familiar environment. We also offer this as an in-home service, when appropriate.
Our team works with your child across all areas of development, including communication, play, cognition, motor skills, self-help, and social-emotional growth. Small Talk Therapy, Inc. is a vendor of the North Los Angeles County Regional Center and is contracted with the Department of Developmental Services, allowing us to provide early intervention services for eligible children and families through the Regional Center.
Signs Your Child Might Benefit from Child Development Services
Your child may benefit from an evaluation if they:
- Are not meeting expected developmental milestones
- Have limited interaction, play skills, or engagement with others
- Struggle with early communication or understanding language
- Have difficulty with movement, coordination, or using their hands
- Show challenges with attention, learning, or following simple directions
- Need support with daily routines like feeding, dressing, or play
Our Approach to Child Development Services
We take a play-based, individualized approach to help your child learn in ways that feel natural and engaging. Our specialists meet your child at their current level and build skills step by step through activities that fit into your daily routines.
Caregivers are an important part of the process. We work closely with you to share strategies you can use throughout the day, so your child continues to learn outside of sessions.
