Philosophy

At Little Olives Speech Therapy, we value connection over compliance. Our therapy technique is play-based and often child-led to provide a safe and welcoming environment for children to grow. We invite parents and caregivers to be part of their child’s sessions to promote generalization of our targets and enhance your communication when we are not there. We will do our best to use the objects already within your home, and turn routines into language-rich opportunities

  • Deyanah Jarrar, M.S., CCC-SLP

    OWNER, LEAD SLP

    Hi there! My name is Deyanah, and I am a Speech Language Pathologist - licensed in California and certified through the American Speech-Language Hearing Association. I graduated with my Master's degree in Speech Language Pathology from Pacific University in Oregon. I've worked in a variety of pediatric settings, including early childhood centers, elementary schools, teletherapy, and private practice. I believe in lifelong learning and keeping up with new research and technology to support the clients we work with. I strive to make therapy fun and inclusive for everyone participating. In my free time I love spending time with my dogs, and baking for my friends and family. Outside of the speech world, my other love is plants and enjoying the outdoors in my garden.
