Echo Speech Therapy offers comprehensive speech therapy services for children and adults in Glendale, Pasadena, and surrounding Los Angeles areas. We provide in home and in office screenings, consultations, and individualized speech therapy sessions.

There isn't a single "best" age for speech therapy since it depends on the specific needs and concerns. Research demonstrates excellent outcomes for early intervention therapy but therapy at any age can be appropriate and supportive. If you have concerns or questions, please reach out and we will be happy to schedule an initial consultation to discuss your concerns.

These terms are often used interchangeably, but there are some technical distinctions:

• Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP): The official professional title requiring a master's degree, clinical fellowship, and state licensure. They assess, diagnose, and treat communication and swallowing disorders.

• Speech Therapist: A more general term that can refer to SLPs or other professionals providing speech services, but not diagnostic services.

In practice, most qualified practitioners are licensed SLPs, regardless of whether they're called "speech therapist" or "speech pathologist."

Great question! Insurance often does cover speech therapy. To find out if your insurance (e.g. LACare) covers speech therapy, please call the number on the back of your card. Learn more about Echo Speech Therapy and funding sources by clicking here.
