Introduction

Hi there! I’m Kristina Babayan, a speech-language pathologist from Burbank, CA. I opened my clinic here because this community holds a special place in my heart. I specialize in working with individuals from birth to 21, whether it's helping toddlers expand their speech and language skills or guiding adults with their AAC devices. My areas of expertise include speech sound disorders, early intervention, language disorders, and augmentative and alternative communication. I take a play-based, child-centered approach, ensuring therapy is both engaging and effective while creating a calming, supportive environment for my clients. When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me playing board games with family and friends, exploring the outdoors, or enjoying a good comedy!

What words would you use to describe yourself?

Resilient

Playful

Caring

Resilient: I believe in the power of persistence and flexibility. I approach challenges with a positive mindset, helping my clients and their families stay motivated and focused on progress, no matter the obstacles. Playful: I embrace the idea that learning should be enjoyable. I love making therapy fun and engaging, using creative activities that capture each child’s unique interests and spark their curiosity. Caring: I’m deeply committed to building strong, trusting relationships with my clients and their families. I take the time to understand their needs, ensuring they feel supported, heard, and valued throughout their journey.

Who are you best positioned to serve?

I am best positioned to support children and young adults with articulation disorders or delays, including shaping the "r" sound, improving speech intelligibility, and enhancing fluency, helping them become more confident communicators. I also specialize in working with individuals with neurodiverse profiles, such as autism and ADHD, using a strengths-based approach to language therapy. By incorporating play-based strategies and evidence-based practices like Hanen, I support the development of receptive and expressive language skills. For non-speaking clients, I provide inclusive communication options, such as AAC, and teach self-advocacy. I work closely with families to offer practical solutions for at-home support.
