Clinical Care for Kids in the Inland Empire
Speech Pathology Services Built Around Your Child and Your Family
Every child communicates differently, and every family has a unique set of needs. Our approach to pediatric communication disorders treatment starts with a thorough evaluation that combines standardized testing, language samples, and a parent interview, so we understand not just where your child is clinically, but where your family wants to go. Victoria King Erb, M.S., CCC-SLP, leads every care plan with the mindset of a coach: building your child's intrinsic motivation, celebrating effort, and teaching kids that doing hard things is how growth happens. Parents aren't observers here. They're active partners in the process.

Pediatric Evaluations
A strong care plan starts with a clear picture. Our evaluations bring together standardized and dynamic assessments, language samples, and a detailed parent interview to capture how your child communicates in real life, not just in a clinical setting. From there, we build a plan that reflects your family's goals and your child's specific strengths and needs.
Speech Therapy
Our speech therapy services address articulation disorders, phonological disorders, Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), and fluency disorders such as stuttering and cluttering. Using evidence-based methods such as Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC), we work with each child to build accurate, consistent sound production and improve motor planning for speech.
Language Therapy
From early intervention for late talkers to building receptive and expressive language in school-aged children, our language therapy services are tailored to fit your child with play-based vs. structured or clinician- vs. client-led. We focus on functional communication, helping children express their needs, grow their vocabulary, and develop the grammar and pragmatic skills they need to connect with others.
Feeding Therapy
When mealtimes become a source of stress, feeding therapy can help. We work with children who have limited food variety, sensory aversions to textures, difficulty chewing or swallowing, and picky eating that goes beyond typical preferences. Our clinicians use the SOS Approach to Feeding and AEIOU framework to support safe, positive progress toward age-appropriate eating.
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy
Tongue thrust, open mouth posture, mouth breathing, and habits like thumb sucking can affect your child's speech, dental alignment, and sleep quality. Our orofacial myofunctional therapy addresses these patterns directly, working to establish correct tongue and facial rest postures, improve nasal breathing, and support healthy chewing and swallowing mechanics.
Social Skills Therapy & Groups
Communication is more than words. Our social skills therapy helps children develop the peer engagement, turn-taking, and play skills they need to build friendships and navigate everyday social situations. Group settings give kids the chance to practice in a structured, supportive environment alongside peers and build confidence through real interaction.
IEP Consultations & Support
The IEP process can feel overwhelming, especially for parents who are new to Free and Appropriate Public Education requirements. We offer consultation and documentation review to help families understand their rights, ask the right questions, and advocate confidently for their child's needs within the school system.
