Questions?
You’re in good company.
Here are a few things families often want to know before getting started.
Is my child the right age for services?
Budding Babbles provides pediatric speech and language services for children from birth through age 14. Send an inquiry to discuss your child’s age and needs.
Do we need to know which service to request?
Not at all. Choose “Not sure yet” on the inquiry form. The first conversation is an opportunity to discuss your questions and possible next steps.
Where do therapy sessions take place?
Therapy is provided in family homes in Gardena, Hawthorne, Lawndale, Torrance, and Inglewood. The initial consultation is a phone or video call. Availability and the right setting are discussed individually.
How does the introductory call work?
After reviewing your inquiry, Melaine can invite you to choose a time for a free 30-minute conversation. This is a chance to get acquainted and discuss whether services may be a good fit.
How do payment and Regional Center services work?
Budding Babbles currently works with Regional Center clients. Eligibility and funding arrangements are discussed individually. For private-pay services, rates are agreed before care and an invoice is provided separately.
