    Pathway 1: Early Start & Regional Center Services

    (Ages 18 Months–3 Years)

    We are an approved vendor with Eastern Los Angeles Regional Center (ELARC), providing speech and language services at no cost to families with an active Early Start referral.

    How it works:

    1. Your service coordinator sends us a referral ; no paperwork on your end.

    2. We schedule sessions in your home or at our Monterey Park clinic, whichever works for your family.

    3. Services are fully funded through your regional center.

    What therapy looks like:

    • Play-based sessions built around your child’s interests

    • We coach you; the best progress happens between sessions

    • We celebrate all forms of communication, including gestures, signs, AAC, and words

    • Available in English, Spanish, and Mandarin

    Already have a referral? Ask your ELARC service coordinator to email it to Thrive Talk Tools Speech Therapy.

    Pathway 2: Insurance & Private Pay Clients

    (Ages 18 Months–7 Years)

    Whether your child is a late talker, hard to understand, or building language in their own way, we’re here to help at our clinic.

    We support children who:

    • Aren’t yet using words, or use fewer words than expected.

    • Are difficult to understand when they speak.

    • Are autistic or neurodivergent and benefit from affirming, child-led support.

    • Are nonspeaking and ready to explore AAC (communication devices and tools).

    • Are transitioning out of Early Start and need continued services.

    Our approach:

    • We follow the lead of the individual.

    • We celebrate all forms of communication.

    • We build goals that matter in real life.

    Getting started:

    1. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to talk through your concerns.

    2. Fill out intake forms online. We will then verify your insurance benefits.

    3. We schedule sessions in clinic. In-home is not available for insurance or private pay clients.

      **In-network with Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Anthem Blue Cross (Blue Shield of California coming soon.)

      **Private pay available with superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.
