Are you a school district in need of comprehensive evaluations and ongoing services, including IEE?

DV Therapy has worked with large school districts within Southern California to provide ongoing services, single case agreements, IEP evaluations, IEEs, and consultations.

Are you a public school seeking our services through our NPA? 

DV Therapy is proud to be certified by the California Department of Education as a Non-Public Agency (NPA) throughout Southern California. 

Our NPA allows us to partner with incredible public and charter schools in the region to provide speech and language as well as occupational therapy services to students who qualify through an Individualized Education Program (IEP). Our school based therapists provide both in person and virtual therapy interventions.

Our clinicians will provide school-based speech therapy that is related to the education program for students who may present with a disorder, delay, or deficit in speech or language. Service delivery models may include classroom based collaborative services, consultations with school staff and parents, small group sessions, or in an individual setting depending on the individual’s needs

Are you a private school seeking our services for a screening or evaluation?

Since opening our doors in 2014, DV Therapy has been working in private schools ranging from day care-high school. We provide school with free and low cost screenings to determine if services are needed, conduct evaluations, provide intervention, consultation with teacher and families, and provide training for staff. We believe strongly in a collaborative approach and parent/teacher involvement and communication is stressed with all of our students.

Screenings:

We offer a two-tier screening option: 

1) A 15-30 minute comprehensive screening with screening results, recommendations, and suggestions for the home and school. Includes interview with the parent and the teacher. 

2) A 10-15 minute basic screening with concise reporting of the results and indication if further testing is warranted.  

All screenings Includes interview with the teacher and include feedback provided by the parent. 

Screenings are done at the school and are conducted as an informal observation of a child to determine if a speech and language assessment is warranted. The screener is utilized to determine whether the child is at risk for a speech or language disorder. The result of a screening is typically reported as “Pass” or “Fail.” If a student “fails” a screening, the SLP, OT, and/or BCBA will recommend that the student receives a full evaluation.

 

Request a Screening

To request a screening for your child or to setup screenings at your school:

  1. Contact hannah@dvtherapy.com to get scheduled for a screener
  2. Send back the completed requests 
  3. Complete the screeners
  4. Receive screener report and discuss the results in 1-2 weeks. 
  5. If the student fails the screener, we will discuss options for an evaluation.

My son has been a client here for about 2 years he gets Ot and speech therapy once a week. He has speech with Celest, she’s the best always makes therapy fun and more like a playdate then therapy 😊 He has made so much progress since starting with her. When he first started his vocabulary was very small and he now is able to communicate with us in full sentences. I know it is only gonna get better and I’m so thankful. All the staff is friendly and I would recommend this place to anyone

My son Alex has been attending for over one year and he is doing very well. His teacher Celeste is very patient and studies him to help him improve. My son is only 3 years old but the activities they used to interact and learn with are very interesting to him and keeps his attention for long periods of time. What I’m also impressed with are the techniques they give to the parents in order to keep practicing and learning throughout the week. With Celeste’s hard work and dedication, we continue to see Alex express himself properly and continue to build his vocabulary.

My Son has been going to DV therapy for over a year now. He really enjoys his time with Meghan! It’s been an especially hard time in the last few months with COVID but Meghan has stayed consistent and has been doing a great job with teletherapy. We can’t thank her enough for all the hard work she has continued to do during these hard times!

We have had the good fortune of working with Celeste twice a week for the last couple of months. When my daughter was referred to speech therapy, it was to focus on her annunciation. We attended a couple of sessions in person, but found that the online sessions were not only just as effective, but with the pandemic and all the necessary precautions, they were more effective and made us feel safer. Celeste is friendly and engaging as well as very skilled at her job. My daughter says she loves working with her and that she really likes the computer games that she has to help her practice saying her sounds. The techniques Celeste is teaching my daughter translate well to the online platform if not better because the games are really engaging and she has the whole internet at her disposal. Outside of session, I’ve seen my daughter practice the skills she is learning at home with me and our family. Her pronunciation is noticeably improving, and I know it is because of the hard work Celeste and my daughter are putting into her speech therapy. I’m really grateful that even though this pandemic has resulted in us pulling our daughter out of preschool, she is still able to receive these services to help prepare her for kindergarten. I not only highly recommend DV Therapy Services, but also online services if they are available

Im beyond happy with the services my daughter is receiving. Her therapist Lupe has done an amazing job, from keeping her entertained during her in-person and Telehealth visit. Staff is super friendly and very welcoming 🙂

Mariah has been amazing in the four virtual sessions that we’ve had thus far. We have noticed that our 18 month old is interacting more with us and has started to be more vocal during our interactions. We have learned different techniques that will help with our child’s development. We appreciate her attentiveness, enthusiasm that she brings as well as the feedback that she has provided. We look forward to our child’s continued development with Mariah’s help.

My two daughters have been receiving speech therapy @ DV Therapy. The receptionist was always nice and helpful. Mariah is awesome! My daughters had a hard time staying focused during Tele-sessions BUT as soon as they started having sessions with Mariah they actually started to engage in session. My kids love having tele-sessions with her and call her “My friend”. Both my girls have improved speech. Thank you Mariah for always being flexible and knowing how to engage my little ones during session.
