Speech Therapy
For Children
As a parent of either a monolingual or bilingual child, you might find yourself questioning whether Speech Therapy could benefit them. A Speech-Language Pathologist is qualified and trained to determine if your child has a speech and/or language disorder.
Untreated speech and language disorders in children may affect their literacy abilities and academic achievements. Left untreated, these issues could potentially result in behavioral, social, and emotional difficulties in the future.
We provide services in English/Spanish.
Cities We Serve
We offer our in-home services in the following cities and surrounding areas: Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Yorba Linda, Anaheim, and Orange.
Virtual services offered for California and Illinois Residents.
Our Values
Multimodal Communication Speech Clinic is a neurodiversity affirming practice. We go beyond conventional table-top therapy. Our approach involves a combination of parent education, evidence-based practice, child-led therapy, and respecting your child's autonomy and your cultural values. We are committed to supporting your family and helping your child communicate.
Early Intervention
We are happy to announce that Multimodal Communication Speech Clinic P.C. is now an approved vendor for early intervention speech therapy services with the Regional Center of Orange County. If you are interested in working with our us, please provide our clinic name to your service coordinator to request our services. We use a play-based approach in early intervention that is designed for infants and toddlers, ages 0-3 who demonstrate developmental delays. Therapy sessions aim to support the child's speech and language development within everyday routines and activities that your child finds most interesting. The speech therapist provide strategies to caregivers to implement in their daily routines to support their child's speech and language skills.
Developmental Language Disorders (DLD)
We support children, ages 0-10, who have difficulty with language. This can include difficulties in understanding spoken language (Receptive) and/or difficulties with communicating their thoughts/ideas (Expressive). We strongly believe in supporting multimodal communication which entails communicating in multiple ways (i.e. spoken words, gestures, picture symbols, American-Sign Language, etc.).
AAC
AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. We complete AAC evaluations and treatment.

Children who have difficulty using spoken language to communicate may benefit from using an alternative way of communicating.
Bilingual and Cultural Diversity
Destiny possesses expertise in bilingual speech & language development. This includes appropriately assessing and providing speech and language support to children who are exposed to more than one language. She understands that in a diverse world, children are not only exposed to multiple language but multiple English varieties. Destiny values supporting families who aim to introduce other languages beyond English to their children. She firmly believes that preserving the family's native language helps maintain a strong connection to their cultural heritage.
Parent Coaching
Parent consultations are offered to parents/caregivers that are seeking guidance on how to support their child's speech and language skills. Parent consultations can be scheduled either weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. While parent consultations differ from formal speech therapy sessions and are not intended as substitutes for therapy, they are specifically designed for parents seeking additional guidance. These consultations serve as a supportive resource, particularly beneficial for those unsure about whether their child requires an evaluation. They aim to provide valuable insights and assistance to parents navigating concerns about their child's speech and language development.
