I have two beautiful kiddos on the autism spectrum. After our previous speech was no longer contracted with our insurance, we had to sadly leave and find a new location. Chatterbox Speech Pathology was available and we started sessions early 2024. The clinicians we started with left after a few sessions and my kids had had to readjust to their new clinicians. The change of clinicians was unexpected, but beyond our control. Hopefully, more time slots become available and additional Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) to accomodate the request of parents/caregivers. Parking is limited. Three spaces to be exact. Otherwise, you have to drive around and walk to the building. On our first session, we literally parked two lights down near the Starbucks. Then some older woman in her SUV almost hit us as we walked across the street because she failed to yield to pedestrians as her light turned green and our light signaled OK for us to walk. After that incident, I no longer park across the street or walk with my children for speech. If you arrive early enough or wait, you may be fortunate to park in their designated parking spaces. Chatterbox Speech Pathology has three locations: Los Alamitos, Santa Ana, and Long Beach. Kaiser insurance is accepted. Payments accepted include: cash, credit card, Venmo, and Zelle. We receive speech services at Los Alamitos. Tiffany at the front desk is awesome. She's friendly and communicates well. They focus on child-led play for their speech services. Depending on your child's needs this could be a hit or miss. However, each speech session is individualized on your child's needs and any concerns you may have should be addressed in their goals. Chatterbox recently opened Occupational Therapy (OT) services at their Long Beach location. Both my children are in the process of receiving services there and I will provide my experience, if we continue with their OT services. As a parent who has children with special needs, I know the struggles of taking a child to speech and occupational therapy. We want to make sure they receive services with clinicians that we feel comfortable and our children can meet their full potential. Within time, hopefully both my children will show improvement at Chatterbox Speech Pathology and find permanent clinicians for ongoing services. read more
