Every child communicates differently. Every plan at Vela is built from scratch — play-based, parent-involved, and designed around what your child specifically needs to grow, connect, and be heard.
Velia brings 15 years of clinical experience — across Los Angeles, South America, and West Africa — to every session. Each service below is delivered one-on-one, with a parent-involvement component and home strategies built in.
Executive function is the cognitive foundation for nearly everything a child does — planning, attention, working memory, flexible thinking, and self-regulation. When these skills are underdeveloped, it shows up in school performance, emotional regulation, and the ability to organize and express thoughts clearly.
Play-based, parent-involved therapy for toddlers and preschoolers building their first words, sentences, and the foundation for everything that comes next. Parents are active participants — not waiting in the lobby.
Helping children produce sounds clearly so they can be understood — by strangers, teachers, and friends, not just the people who love them most. Includes both single sound errors and broader phonological pattern differences.
One of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed speech disorders. CAS is a motor speech disorder — the brain has difficulty coordinating the movements needed for speech. It requires intensive, specialized treatment.
When a child's reading, writing, or classroom performance is affected by underlying language processing differences, speech therapy can be the missing piece. Velia works closely with school teams and parents.
Stuttering is more than a speech pattern — it affects confidence, social comfort, and how a child sees themselves as a communicator. Therapy focuses on both fluency techniques and building confidence to speak in any situation.
AAC supports children who are still building verbal communication — through picture boards, speech-generating devices, or apps. Every child deserves a way to be heard. AAC is not a last resort; it is a voice.
Face-to-face therapy at our Columbus location. In-person sessions are ideal for younger children, hands-on activities, and families who prefer a dedicated therapy environment outside the home.
Fully effective, live one-on-one therapy delivered via secure video. Teletherapy makes it possible to work with Velia regardless of location, schedule, or mobility — without sacrificing quality or connection.
Vela is a private pay practice. This means no insurance gatekeeping, no pre-authorization delays, and no limits on the therapy your child actually needs. You get the full picture upfront — no surprises.
