My brother in his late 30s had a stroke in Feb 2019 and he needed in-home PT OT ST services to supplement days insurance couldn't cover. We found Matt through a friend Matt took action right away and coordinated everything to get us started. In a matter of 24 hours, I was in touch with his therapists to set up appts. Audrey PT, Najwa ST, and Shar OT have been stellar with decades of experience. He also took the time to visit my brother at home. He's reachable and always addressed any qs we had. The therapists truly care about my brother and that really matters to us. Note - When I deal with vendors, I just want to get to straight to the point including no passive/aggressive behavior (primarily because I respect both our availabilities on the phone) and I appreciate working with Matt. I kept him posted when we needed to increase or decrease the frequency of the sessions. My brother's improving weekly and the goal to get him to acute is sooner than later. Thanks to Matt and his team for being helpful and collaborative. read more

Matt is PHENOMENAL. My daughter (6) could not say and R to save her life and now (7) she corrects herself when she slips, which these days is more and more rare. Also, after a year of therapy (she was a very tough case!) she told me one day that she wanted to stop, so I emailed Matt immediately to give him the heads up. He changed tack and that very same day she came home excitedly telling me about all the fun games they played and that she doesn't want to quit now. ;) Really proud of her work and very satisfied with Matt. Couldn't recommend him more! read more

I have 3 children receiving services ( SAI, OT, APE, S&L ) with them and their team is amazing. Very supportive and knowledgeable. I can definitely see the progress in my children. They tailor and individualize very single session for each of my children. LA Speech did IEEs for one of my kids to and they did a wonderful job. Very detailed and fully comprehensive. My children have received services from many different agencies through out the years and I can definitely say that LA Speech has been one of the best experiences for my children. I highly recommended them to anyone in need of good services for their children. read more

I had the great pleasure of meeting Matt over a year ago, collaborating for another child. I cannot speak more highly of Matt's dedication, compassion and professionalism. He is truly someone who is on the family's side! He is very knowledgeable about navigating the school system and helping the family access the best resources for their child's needs. Matt has positively impacted many children's lives, affording them the gift of communication. Further, he is one of the most punctual professional I have met in a long time. Whether it's answering a text or responding to e-mails, his work ethic is refreshing! read more

Matt provides high quality services, employing certified, respected SLPs with a wide range of experiences.

Just a quick note of thanks. The district hired Emily to provide a baseline concerning speech and language, given the concern that our child had English Language Learner issues versus basic language disorders. Emily's work and consultation were outstanding. All of the suggested goals from the IEE immediately were accepted and incorporated into his current IEP. And the results also helped us continue forward with additional testing, as appropriate. read more

Matthew has been a breathe of fresh air. He is service was prompt and has gone over the top to help me with my needs for my son. The process was made simple to get my son Speech and Language tested.

Matthew and Jordan have been fantastic to work with. Matthew is so on top of it from the first day we called. Matthew coordinated Jordan to be our speech therapist. Jordan is so caring and sweet with our daughter. We've seen great progress and enjoy having him at the house. I can't say enough about how nice it is to have Jordan come to our house versus having to driving in west LA traffic to another location, stay at the appointment and wait and drive back in traffic. It really is amazing having him come to us. read more

Matt was very quick to respond, and thorough when explaining the process of assessment. He not only took the time to provide detailed information, but he was caring too. He answered all of my questions and made sure I understood the process read more

We needed to find a speech therapist for our 2 year old, and were excited to find an option nearby that would offer home visits. Matt made the intake process super easy and was willing to help get us an appointment on short notice. Our therapist, Danielle, has been absolutely amazing and our son adores her. He immediately started making progress with sounds and sign language, and we continue to see progress each week. We'd highly recommend Matt and his team! read more

My daughter had a speech delay and we sought out Matthew's services. We have been working with one of his therapists for over a year and have been very pleased with the results. It's great to have someone come to the home where your child is comfortable and you are able to witness the work that is being done. It was helpful to have instructions left behind for us as parents to make sure the work is continued during the week. My daughter really responded well to all the creative and fun techniques and looked forward to her sessions each week. I cannot recommend Matthew and his team highly enough. read more

Matt worked with our son for almost 2 years. Our son struggled with wanting to do speech lessons, especially on the weekends; however, Matt was able to build an maintain a great relationship with him through the use of interactive games.

He no doubt has the client's best interest in mind and goes the extra mile to provide a comprehensive assessment.

I couldn't ask for more. read more

Matt has a gift of being able to connect families with the perfect speech therapist. We needed someone to help our child learn the skills and develop the confidence to create deeper, more meaningful relationships with family and peers. He found us someone who specializes in exactly this area on the very first go-around, it blew my mind actually. This speech therapist has been so incredible and I couldn't feel more blessed to have found him through Matt. He is also super diligent about communication, has a ton of integrity, and is truly a first class professional all around. Thank you, Matt! read more

I wish I could have had an experience like everyone one else but unfortunately mine was nothing like these 5 star reviews. I'll start off with saying Matt is very nice in the beginning. Very attentive and what seems like really trying to find you a therapist. He sent me one lady that unfortunately for me just had twins and only a baby sitter one day a week that was out of town for the next 3 weeks and wasn't sure which one day she would be available to work with me or even the time for that matter... you can see how this lady is obviously not going to work for me or anyone else. When I asked Matt to find me someone else because it's not going to work he basically sends me a rude text message that since it's summer time I'm out of luck and I should sit around and wait for this mother of twins to text me back because she's my best bet... really Matt. Great way to represent the business. Never heard from him or anyone else after that. By the way I live in the valley (Sherman oaks) maybe if you live closer to the City you'll have better luck. read more

My child is bilingual but has struggled for years pronouncing the "r's" and trilled "rr's" correctly. Watching you-tube videos and spending time with a conversational Spanish tutor didn't help. I decided to look into speech pathology and emailed several places regarding this niche need. Matt responded quickly and had a pathologist in mind who was experienced in helping with this problem. Danielle indicated she had worked with other patients in remediating this exact issue, and she was understanding, knowledgable, and insightful. She worked weekly with our child and kept me updated to their progress. After several weeks of short sessions, our child had got it. We are happy and relieved to have solved this problem with Danielle's help. Matt continually checked in with us and Danielle to make sure everything was working out. If you are looking for professional and effective help in remediating the r/rr sound, then I definitely recommend Matt and Danielle's services. read more

I have known Matt Smith for approximately 8 years now. I find Matt to be highly personable, conscientious and extremely knowledgeable in the field of Speech Pathology. I myself am a Pathologist for 30 years now and I often go to Matt for questions regarding assessments and therapy. He hires great knowledgeable Speech Pathologists who are highly qualified in their field. If I could I would give him 10 stars! read more

Matthew and his team are GREAT! We receive speech 2xs a week for an hour each. We have 2 different therapist that work with my son. I feel they genuinely care about him and his progress. Kourtney finds the smallest thing that has his attention that day. Then, will make a session around it. Monica really engages my son and keeps his focus. Thats hard with a 4 year old. Matthew is always available for any questions or concerns and is very hands on in the process to get therapists that fit. read more

We have been working with Matt and Tracy for almost a year now. Matt has been extremely helpful, especially when dealing with insurance companies. Tracy is a wonderful therapist for my son, who has autism and apraxia. She keeps him engaged and working hard every session. read more

Matt was highly recommended by my daughters LAUSD speech therapist and he worked with her for over a year. Matt is definitely the best speech therapist of the many we have seen He is professional, highly knowledgeable and competent as well as personable and fun. My daughter looked forward to his sessions.

My son has been working with Matt and the L.A. speech guy team for a little while now. Matt has an excellent work ethic and knows how to help parents out in their times of need with their kiddos. It's a busy type of work but Matt is very good...no excellent! about customer service. In the past my son and I have had such a hard time finding a quality SLP and Matt is sensitive to counseling parents like myself in very sensitive area about speech and language. Thanks Matt!!! read more

Matt is definetly the "child whisperer" and is able to produce results in our son that he was unable to in the past. Matt is highly knowledeable and is teaching us as parents along the way. Would recommend to anyone seeking special, one-on-one speech therapy! read more

We have been super lucky to find Matthew and his team. My daughter is almost 10 years old and has been struggling with speech since she was 3. While she has come along way the speech pullout during school time was not doing the trick. She started working with Matthew and Trisha about 6 months ago and the progress has been unbelievable. Not only is my daughter progressing towards her goals, but she is having fun doing it. I definitely recommend Matthew and Trisha. read more

Matt Smith is the best investment I have made for my child. As a parent of a 4 y.o. at the time it was difficult to see through the time and financial commitment for therapy 3 times a week while other kids were at play dates and parties. We had seen other speech therapists previously with little results. I can confidently attest that it was all worth it. My daughter averaged 95th percentile overall on her ISEE s and is currently attending a top notch private school, engaged in sports and maintained all As and one B+ in foreign language for which her teacher asked her to appeal to gain honors status in Spanish for next year. She is happy, succeeding in school and socially on par. This is all credit to Matt Smiths knowledge, skill and nurturing style. Matt is always staying current by attending continuing education courses and seminars where cutting edge information is presented and implemented. My daughter directly benefited from his hard work and professional acumen. Matt not only gave my daughter decoding skills, but confidence to tackle teaching herself new skills. She currently neither wants my help nor that of a tutor. " Mom, I got this!" was the best thing this parent could ever hear. read more

Matt Smith is one of the best speech therapists I have ever worked with. I am a Special Education Resource teacher, and I worked alongside Matt on a weekly basis in a shared classroom. Right away, it was easy to establish a professional rapport with Matt. He is knowledgeable, kind, firm and also has a sense of fun that I have never seen with another service provider. He incorporates games, turn-taking, iPad apps, movies and more into his therapy sessions that proved to be very engaging for students from kinder up to 8th grade. He was able to achieve results where students were able to exit LAS (speech) services in a timely manner. I personally learned a lot from Matt in the time that we worked together, and would highly recommend him to families, either in a home or clinical setting. He really is top-notch in his field. read more
