Frequently Asked Questions

 Little Legacy is a telehealth therapy company providing Occupational Therapy (OT) and Speech Therapy (SLP) to individuals across the lifespan, from infants and toddlers to children, teens, and adults. Our mission is to empower every client to build independence, achieve meaningful goals, and create a lasting legacy. 

We commonly see:

• Children with developmental needs such as Autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, sensory processing differences, and speech or language delays.
• Teens and adults who want to build independence, communication, and daily living skills.
• Anyone motivated to grow, whether that’s improving speech clarity, handwriting, feeding, fine motor skills, or daily routines.

If you or your loved one is ready to improve independence, confidence, and everyday life, Little Legacy is here to help. 

 In most cases, families can be scheduled right away, depending on their availability. Our telehealth model allows us to connect quickly and avoid the long waitlists often seen in traditional clinics. 

Therapy sessions are provided virtually through a secure video platform. This allows clients and families to participate from the comfort and convenience of their own home. Telehealth is highly interactive, therapists coach families, use everyday household items, and employ creative tools (yes, even birds sometimes!) to keep therapy engaging and effective. 

Yes, telehealth is not only just as effective as in-person therapy, but in many cases, it can be even better:

• Parent/caregiver involvement: Families are directly coached during sessions, which boosts carryover and generalization of skills at home.
• Convenience: No travel time, scheduling flexibility, and comfort of the home environment reduce barriers to therapy.
• Real-life context: Therapists work with the child or adult in their natural environment, using real household items and routines, making therapy practical and functional.
• Consistency: Telehealth reduces cancellations due to transportation or illness, ensuring better progress over time.
• Engagement: Creative, tech-based strategies and family participation keep clients motivated and actively involved. 

• Occupational Therapy (OT): Fine and gross motor development, self-care and daily living skills (ADLs/IADLs), sensory processing, feeding, handwriting, and adaptive strategies for independence.
• Speech Therapy (SLP): Speech sounds, expressive and receptive language, feeding/swallowing, social communication, fluency, and voice. 

Referrals usually come from your child’s physician or service coordinator, depending on funding. In most cases, the referral can be faxed directly to 1-858-771-0308.

• Regional Center families: Ask your Service Coordinator to send a referral to Little Legacy.
• Private families: Every insurance plan is a little different, but we’ll guide you step-by-step.
