My son is a 6-year-old autistic boy, and we received a referral from his SDC classmates for a…read moreprogram that claims to support "SPECIAL Education" and dyslexia. However, this claim is not accurate. The director suggested a virtual assessment, but I mentioned that it might be challenging for him. She assured me it would be a quick 30 minutes, so we went ahead with it. My son was able to read some high-frequency sight words and even sat through the entire 30 minutes. However, he struggled to answer some phonics questions due to his delayed language skills. Ultimately, the director concluded that he was not a good fit for their program. A few days later, they recommended their homeschooling program. I felt discriminated against by their response. I don't understand why my son's SDC friend can receive their tutoring services, but my son cannot. They should not advertise their program as being for learning differences when it seems to be more about selling worksheets to make money. I am very disappointed.

My daughter Blake absolutely adores her speech therapy sessions with Riley and Lauren. From the…read morevery first day, Riley made her feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn. There's something so special about the way she connects with kids -- it's like she brings out their best without them even realizing they're working! We've seen such incredible progress in Blake's speech, but even more importantly, she looks forward to every single session. It's her favorite part of the week. The environment is warm, encouraging, and full of positive energy -- truly a magic place where kids thrive and can be themselves. We as parents have learned so much from Riley and she's given us so many useful tools and ideas to incorporate into Blake's daily life. Her knowledge is invaluable! I can't recommend Riley and her team enough to any parent looking for a caring, skilled, and truly gifted group of SLP's. We are so grateful for their impact on Blake's confidence and communication!

My child has been in speech therapy for several years due to an (initially) pretty significant…read morespeech delay. We have seen multiple therapists, but SLP Riley is without a doubt the very best. We initially worked with her when she was at a different company, but when she started her own clinic, I knew we would follow her. There are so many things I can say about SLP Riley, but words don't do her justice. She is kind, empathetic, patient, full of energy, fun, and REALLY good at her job. She meets children where they are at developmentally and works hard to engage them in a very personalized way to augment results. Since starting her clinic, she has hired a couple other therapists and really wonderful staff. I would (and do!!) recommend each and every therapist at her clinic very highly. We love SLP Riley and her speech service dog, Waffles. Check out her instagram to see what I mean! (@slpriley)

The team at Armenta welcomed her, understood her, and helped her thrive through structure, sensory activities, and patience. She loved every moment there and still asks to go back!

We recently completed a week of intensive therapy with OTEIM.For nearly two years, I researched…read moredifferent therapy options and even spoke to two other facilities that offered similar programs. But it wasn't until I had a conversation with Erinn that I felt a deep sense of clarity. After praying about it, I knew in my heart that OTEIM was the place we needed to invest our time, energy, and resources. From the very beginning, the staff at OTEIM--Jillian, Erinn, Mr. Alan, and every single intern and team member--showed us what it means to be truly dedicated. They are incredibly knowledgeable, but beyond that, their hearts are fully in it. The love, patience, and genuine care they show to each child is something you can't teach--it's just who they are. You can feel the difference the moment you walk in. The space is thoughtfully laid out, calming, and child-centered. And perhaps most importantly, our child felt safe, seen, and comfortable--which, as any parent knows, is everything. We felt that comfort too. It's not just therapy here--it's a full-circle support system that honors both the child and the family. We only did one week of intensive therapy, but I truly wish we could have done more. God willing, we will be able to return for additional intensives in the future. If you're considering intensive therapy, give OTEIM a try. There is so much intentionality, love, and professionalism here. They're not just doing a job
