Services Offered at Our La Mesa Location
SmallTalk provides a full range of therapy services for children of all ages. We tailor each treatment plan to your child’s individual needs and goals.
Speech and Language Therapy
We help your child find their voice through speech and language therapy. Our sessions support children who have trouble speaking clearly, understanding language, or expressing themselves.
Occupational Therapy
SmallTalk empowers children for everyday success through occupational therapy. We help kids master important life skills like dressing, eating, writing, and playing. Our fun, purposeful sessions build confidence, independence, and fine motor skills.
Feeding Therapy
If your child struggles with eating or drinking due to sensory sensitivities, medical issues, or motor difficulties, our therapy makes mealtimes easier. We use gentle, supportive strategies to help you and your family enjoy safe and successful meals together.
Social Skills Groups
Our social skills groups give children a welcoming environment to practice communication, build friendships, and navigate social situations. These groups are a great fit for children who benefit from extra guidance and real-world practice with peers.
