Since the first time they met they have been besties, my son knows which days he sees Ms. Alyssa and starts to get excited the closer we get to her office. My son has a severe speech delay and since starting with Ms. Alyssa he has improved every session, he knows to guide us to what he wants, communicates with his AAC device and also can say around 10 words and sounds! Which for an autism parent, you know how big that is. Everyone i've met at Thrive have been a god send and now Ms. Joy will take over services for my sons younger brother. I can not thank Thrive enough for all the support and help they have provided and the care that has gone into my children's learning.

My very honest review…read more This isn't my first time with Learning Tree & I really wanted to give this other location a try. My son is almost 3 & non verbal, but uses signs to communicate. He was evaluated by Ms. Michelle. First off... this office wanted to RUSH me in, they refused to give me a time that would of worked with me. I'm not sure what their rush was. They picked the absolute WORST time to come in for an evaluation (9 AM), & what do you expect ? My son did not want to cooperate & did not perform well. All this office cares about is numbers. The first visit we had with Ms Michelle actually wasn't with her at all. Instead, she introduced her grad student. So during the whole hour (actually 40 minutes to be fair), Ms Michelle sat in the corner of the room, typing on her computer, not even interacting with my son. From my point of view it looked like Ms Michelle was busy evaluating her grad student & not my son (it was like this all visits we had where she was present). The grad student did her best to work with my son. Her personality is so low energy, calming, quiet. She had the demeanor of a yoga instructor, just doesn't work well with my high energy toddler who didn't reciprocate. The sessions felt so awkward with Ms Michelle just there in the corner, not interacting & the grad student taking control over the sessions. It felt like the biggest waste of time. I hated how I felt like I had to communicate to the grad student with questions, instead of asking Ms Michelle directly. An example: I showed the grad student a video of my son repeating a word. I said he has only done this once & hasn't done it again. I wanted an answer why he only said the word once & not ever again. Her explanation: "oh they just do that sometimes" My husband took my son during a different session. He agreed the grad student was a terrible fit for my son & that during the whole time Ms Michelle just sat in the corner playing with her hair. The last visit we had Ms Michelle wasn't even present during our session & was with the Grad Student entirely. How unprofessional & irresponsible. Who does that ? Ms. Michelle does. Another visit we had here was with Ms. Flor. I wish my son had her instead because what a night & day difference with her compared Ms Michelle. Ms Flor was so interactive & enthusiastic. The whole time my toddler was excited & loving his time there. Also wanted to add that Ms. Michelle claims my son has delays in gross motor skills. My son started walking at 11 months & climbing up stairs at 14 months. He can jump & do anything physical. So just a warning to anyone with a future appt with her for your child's evaluation: don't trust her. Despite the high reviews, it's so unfortunate I had such a bad experience with learning tree.

Long overdue review of Chatterbox. It's been about a year since we left Chatterbox, but I'm very…read morethankful for the services that they provided to my son. When my son was 3 years old, I brought him to Chatterbox since he was no longer developing verbally. In fact, he had regressed badly in preschool, and was largely not verbal there during the day. We later had him diagnosed with autism (ASD), and were able to pursue other services, but at the time, all we had was Chatterbox. After the initial intake with Courtney, he was accepted as a patient, and we got on the schedule pretty quickly. I don't believe it is this available or open normally, so I guess we got lucky. We set goals and we were coming to Chatterbox for 30 minute sessions (really 25 minutes) twice a week. We worked on some basic things, but given the later ASD diagnosis, we did what we could here. The end result was that after almost a year, he was verbal again and we met some of our goals. I didn't mind continuing with Chatterbox, but by that point, my son's needs were greater in other areas, so most of his time afterschool was allocated to behavior therapy instead. All in all, we are very thankful for the services that Chatterbox provided. Eternally grateful for the services delivered by Marina, Denny, Amanda, and Jenn. Also thankful to Priscilla for being great to work with from a scheduling and administrative perspective. Anyone who comes here will know right away that the parking lot is comical. The entrance on Cherry actually features bi-directional traffic, even though it's only wide enough for a single vehicle. If I do manage to get in this way, I'll do a quick pass through the lot, and if no spots, I'll make a right in the alleyway and another right on Reagan St., then another right back onto Katella, where there is usually street parking in front of the dentist.

Poor quality of service received. My son was referred by his insurance, and we regret coming. The…read moreinstructors here suggest that they are teaching skills, but spend the time playing and commenting on how "cute" the children are every 5 minutes without actually assisting in their development. When we asked the instructor about this, she insisted that he was too young to learn and they were unsure why the insurance sent them due to their young age, yet they continued to insist the next appointment would be different (I guess it was a money grab) My son showed no growth during his time here, but incredible growth after deciding to no longer use this company. Also, please make sure you keep your insurance documents handy, as their billing team will change terms in payments without notifying you and then blame someone else (blaming insurance, due to their errors and requesting additional payment. Poor practice being run here.

My father went to the hospital ER after becoming weak and having a seizure like experience. At 95, he had just become very weak and non-ambulatory. The hospital tests had shown that he needed attention that he could no longer receive at home with caregivers. He was transferred to Alamitos West. We found Alamitos West to exceed our expectations. The facility is kept clean and the staff is friendly, professional and very helpful. They treat dad with respect, monitor him for his medications and try to keep him comfortable. The nurses, assistants, and PT all have a hard job, but they have all been so kind and helpful. Communication about Dad's condition has been good during our visits and the team keeps us informed about his vitals, when meds are being administered and any new medications. The social workers and business office team were extremely valuable at answering our questions about insurance, discharge process, finances and options. They were all so helpful and genuinely caring as Dad was transferred from short term care to long term care. They definitely made the transition much less stressful and clear. Taking care of elder parents can be extremely stressful. We found Alamitos West to provide the much needed assistance we needed for Dad.
