Pediatric occupational, physical, and speech therapy in Santa Monica
Localized Expert Care for the Santa Monica Community
Clinical excellence in your neighborhood
In Santa Monica, Village provides a sophisticated, integrated approach to pediatric occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy. We specialize in supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, and various developmental milestones through a model that prioritizes both clinical depth and family convenience. We know that Westside families value expertise and efficiency, which is why our local team of licensed specialists collaborates daily to ensure your child’s care is never fragmented.
Our Santa Monica speech-language pathologists focus on language delays, social communication, and feeding therapy, while our pediatric OTs address sensory processing and fine motor development essential for school and play. Our physical therapists support gross motor milestones, balance, and coordination, ensuring your child has the physical confidence to explore the world.
Whether you prefer in-home sessions near Montana Avenue, in-clinic appointments, or virtual therapy, Village adapts to your routine across Ocean Park, Sunset Park, and surrounding neighborhoods, providing a higher standard of care without the wait.
Three specialized services, one coordinated team

Why we created Village for Santa Monica families
Finding the right pediatric therapy in Santa Monica shouldn’t mean long waitlists, confusing insurance calls, or driving across Los Angeles for every appointment. Village connects Santa Monica families with experienced pediatric occupational therapists (OTs), physical therapists (PTs), and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who deliver high-quality, coordinated care without the usual logistical stress.
From the North of Montana neighborhood to Pico District and nearby areas, our therapists provide consistent, personalized support that fits real schedules. Pediatric occupational therapy helps with sensory processing, fine motor skills, and daily living skills. Pediatric physical therapy supports strength, coordination, and gross motor milestones. Speech therapy builds communication, language development, and social interaction.
Village reduces the burden of juggling multiple providers across different clinics by coordinating OT, PT, and speech therapy in one connected plan, with flexible in-home, in-clinic, and virtual options. Spend less time managing care—and more time supporting your child’s progress.
