Why Happy Talkers
Integrated care means your child's clinicians work together — not in silos.

Most families navigating developmental concerns end up piecing together services from multiple providers who never communicate. At Happy Talkers, speech therapists, occupational therapists, behavioral therapists, and infant development specialists work as a coordinated team — sharing goals, aligning treatment plans, and keeping you informed every step of the way.

We hear this every day
My pediatrician said my child may need an evaluation — where do I start?
We've been told our child needs therapy but we don't know who accepts our insurance.
We have concerns about our child's development but no one has given us a clear next step.

For 25 years, Happy Talkers has been the first call families make and the last referral they need. Our integrated model means your child's speech, behavior, and developmental needs are addressed by a coordinated team — not separate providers who never talk to each other.

We've always been the place families come when they need answers.

Happy Talkers was founded in 2001 by Charlene Sigman to help families who arrived asking the same three questions: Where do we go? What do we do? Who can help our child? Today we've grown into an integrated early childhood development system — six clinical services, a diagnostic program, and a coordinated care model. The questions haven't changed. Our ability to answer them has.
