MEET LAUREN
Hi, I’m Lauren!
I’m Lauren Bautista, MA, CCC-SLP, a pediatric speech-language pathologist and the founder of Little Language Speech Therapy.
I created Little Language to offer families a more personal, relationship-based approach to speech and language therapy—one where children feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely excited to participate.
WHY LITTLE LANGUAGE
Therapy should feel like connection, not work.
I believe children learn and communicate best when they feel safe, connected, and engaged. That’s why sessions at Little Language are play-based, child-led, and built around each child’s individual strengths and interests.
Rather than expecting every child to communicate in the same way, I focus on understanding how your child communicates best and helping them build meaningful skills that support everyday life.
MY APPROACH
Meeting children where they are.
Play-Based
Children learn through experiences that feel meaningful, engaging, and fun.
Child-led
Your child’s interests and natural ways of engaging help guide the session.
Neurodiversity-affirming
Different ways of communicating are respected and supported rather than treated as something that needs to be changed.
BACKGROUND & CREDENTIALS
A little about me
I earned my bachelor’s degree from Biola University and my master’s degree in Communication Disorders from Hampton University. I am a licensed speech-language pathologist and hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP).

OUTSIDE THE THERAPY ROOM
Life outside Little Language
When I’m not working with children and families, I love spending time with my husband, our two kids, and our two huskies. We enjoy traveling together, getting outside for morning walks, and making the most of the everyday moments in between. You can often find me cheering my kids on from the sidelines, exploring somewhere new with my family, or enjoying a walk with the dogs.
Let’s get to know your child.
Have questions about your child’s communication or wondering whether Little Language may be a good fit? I’d love to connect and help you determine the next step.
