Stephanie LaPedis

CCC-SLP

Speech-Language Pathologist

Background

I absolutely love working with toddlers, preschoolers, their families, and caregivers to help the little ones strengthen their speech and language skills. I strive to provide my clients and their families with a soft and caring place to land as they navigate the child’s early developmental challenges. My practice offers comprehensive speech and language assessment and therapy (pre-linguistic challenges, receptive and expressive language delays and disorders, speech intelligibility issues, suspected verbal apraxia, autism and pragmatics).

I graduated from the University of California, Irvine, with a Bachelors Degree and received my Masters Degree from California State University, Northridge (CSUN). I completed my Clinical Fellowship at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Neuropsychiatric Institute and have been a guest lecturer at the University of Southern California (USC). I have been licensed since 1995 and have operated my private practice since 2013.
