FAMILY-CENTERED

Parents and caregivers are involved in the intervention process, wherever possible. Therapy goals will be meaningful for your family, considering your family’s culture and lifestyle.

We adjust therapy activities to fit with your child’s current social, emotional, and cognitive level, all while maintaining a spirit of creativity and fun.

Testimonials

“Our son LOVED going to see Natalie.

She made sessions just seem like playtime but was very effective in getting him to use more language. She also provided us as parents lots of tips to work with him at home to fully integrate the therapy at home. She was fully attentive to our son and his progress throughout the whole process, even asking to see if there was feedback from his pre-school teachers and asking if they had any specific needs for her to work on with him. I will miss my son’s very excited response of “yay”, to me saying “it’s time to go see Miss Natalie!” I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a speech therapist, and will certainly use her again in the future if needed.”

“So many wonderful things to say about Natalie and her assistant Heather!

Both my kids go to Small Talk OC and it has been a game changer. Not only is Natalie experienced, she is a pleasure to collaborate with and truly cares about each Child and their specific needs. She is always positive and cheerful! Her office is clean and smells amazing- I know that might seem like an odd thing to say, but it makes for such a nice experience while waiting for my kids.”

— Emily A. (Newport Beach, CA)

“Natalie has been so great for my 10-year-old, who had never been able to make the “r” sound.

After several attempts to get it addressed through the public school system - and failing - I started to bring him to Natalie. With an iPad program, diagrams, popsicle sticks, games, etc. she was able to show him how to move his tongue inside his mouth, and within a couple of sessions he “found” the “r” sound - something I had been trying to do for him for years! And he’s currently still working with her to build it into his everyday conversation. Can’t say enough good about her. Worth every penny and more.”

— Ann P. (Corona del Mar, CA)

“Natalie is the best EVER. My 9 y.o. daughter LOVES her and is always up for her appointments.

She has made so much progress with her treatment. The office is beautiful and immaculate and the resources and tools that they use are excellent. I would recommend Natalie to anyone. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and her warmness and sweetness makes the kids feel so welcome. We are so happy with her!”
