Kidspeak Speech-Language Therapy Services Inc was founded by Christina Galeano in 2019 after years of experience dedicated to child development and early intervention. Through experience as a parent, behavioral interventionist, and ABA supervisor, she fostered a love for helping children. Life experiences exposed her to the field of speech-language pathology, and a new passion was born. Kidspeak was dreamt up soon after to support families in their journey to help their children reach their full potential.
We specialize in early intervention and partner with ACES ABA to provide a multi-discipline program for children under the age of 3;0. We can continue to support your family as your child continues to grow through insurance funding or private pay services. Contact us today to find out more about our speech therapy services.
We offer virtual speech therapy consultations for families with children under 3 in the San Gabriel/Pomona? We can also provide these for children over 3 through private funding! There are so many other ways to connect with us in person as well. Contact us for more information.

She decided to start her studies with a Bachelor Degree in Arts at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. She continued her studies at the University of Alberta, Canada with a Masters in Speech Language Pathology. She completed her degree and became certified to work in Canada.

Since that time, she has worked at an early intervention center which is where she discovered her love for early intervention. She enjoys working with clients and family members as well as multidisciplinary teams to provide the best assessment and treatment plans.
