Our Legacy

The foundation of TLC Pediatric Therapy is deeply rooted in a legacy of community healthcare initiatives for over 20 years, emphasizing highlights that include the Founder leading prestigious interdisciplinary projects with a diverse team of staff at a community clinic, to developing family-centered support models co-located alongside pediatricians, and most importantly, playing a key role with stakeholders and shareholders in policy integration with the “Help me Grow” Los County initiative.

This strong heritage continues to shape and strengthen our strategic partnerships, guiding the structure and direction of our organization. With Founder and CEO Kyra Griffith as the driving force in aforementioned projects, Kyra continues to be in a unique position to build on those successes to ensure that all members, to include the executive team, use those experiences to make decisions, organize procedures, and build existing frameworks thoughtfully and precisely.

In addition to organization and policy development frameworks, extensive experiences in coordinating child development teams also continues to inform the fostering of a practical approach to coaching and development of each team member.

At the core of our operational advancements is a commitment to a dynamic and supportive culture. We value and uplift our collective team, ensuring a positive and progressive environment – a place to call “work-home”.

A Day in the Life!

Embark on a day as a Speech-Language Pathologist where your workplace is as enriching as the care you provide. Collaborative discussions, hands-on sessions, and virtual consultations with families underscore our commitment to holistic care and community engagement.

This sets the stage for table-top fine motor activities, where you work closely with the caregiver, coaching them to support their child’s independence at home, answering their questions, and educating on developmental skills that their child is working towards. Witnessing the growth in both the child’s curiosity and the caregiver’s confidence as they learn to engage their child in purposeful and functional tasks is a source of intrinsic joy. The caregiver’s appreciation for your ability to make clinical skills understandable adds to your fulfillment of the day.

Virtual sessions offer a unique perspective, allowing you to assist families in navigating their child’s challenges from afar.
