Sound familiar?
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, School of Imagination and Happy Talkers have been the place families come when they need answers and a plan. 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.

From concern to care

From concern to care

Most families go through four steps. We support you at every one.

1
Tell us about your child
Call, fill out our online form, or have your pediatrician send a referral. No prior diagnosis needed to start.
2
Insurance verified before your first appointment
Our intake team handles authorization. We accept most major commercial plans, RCEB, and offer scholarship support.
3
Intake evaluation across disciplines
We identify what your child needs — not just one service, but the full picture across speech, behavior, motor, and development.

Coordinated care begins
Your child's clinicians work together. One plan. One team. Regular communication with your family.

25 years in the Tri-Valley
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 disciplines, a diagnostic program, and a coordinated care model. The questions haven't changed. Our ability to answer them has.
