We are so grateful for Anthony and everything he has done for Leo. We originally thought Leo had a…read morespeech delay, but soon learned that selective mutism was a big part of what he was experiencing. I went into this journey knowing very little about selective mutism, and Anthony taught me so much as a parent. It can be so hard to find someone knowledgeable about selective mutism, but Anthony was incredibly patient, understanding, and made both Leo and me feel comfortable. I loved watching him get down on Leo's level, play with him, joke around, and truly connect with him. We are so sad to see Leo graduate from his speech class, but we are beyond thankful for Anthony and the impact he has had on Leo and our family.

I had a wonderful experience with Link Therapies for my son's speech therapy, and I truly want to…read moreshare how much of a difference it has made for our family. When we started, my son had about a 45% speech delay and used very few words. We were quite concerned, but everything changed after we began working with Anthony. He has been an exceptional therapist--patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly gentle with my child. Anthony not only worked with my son during sessions but also guided us as parents on how to support communication at home. His approach made a huge difference. My toddler genuinely looked forward to his sessions every week, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and engaged he felt. I am truly grateful to Link Therapies and Anthony for the remarkable improvement we have seen in our son's speech and confidence. I would also like to specifically appreciate their flexibility in scheduling, especially offering late evening sessions, which was something we could not find at other centers. I strongly encourage parents who have any concerns about their child's speech or communication to seek help early. Speech therapy can truly be a game changer. Thank you again to the entire team at Link Therapies for your support and dedication.

She smiles, laughs and is full of joy during sessions. The progress that she has made is something I would never expect and is it without a shadow of doubt a result of the great people working with her. I see the way they look at my daughter with love and care. I love to see how their eyes spark every time she is able to be successful. I must say that Richard and his team are hidden treasure! I would recommend them with all my heart! They are absolutely the best (I have interviewed 12 providers before and would not recommend anyone else).

There are many developmental toys and activities which the children had a blast exploring. The space was very clean and well organized! I saw the staff actively tidying the space, assisting with the different payment features, and engaging the children. They offer memberships, as well host private events and various therapies that are held on site. It's a one stop shop. Their memberships can be covered by the Regional Center or funded through Self Determination program, but of course, you can pay of pocket. The owner Lindsay is extremely knowledgeable and helpful! This San Ramon location is their first location, but have since expanded to two more sites in Berkeley and Belmont. They also have tables for parents to have a break or work at which is very thoughtful. When I went also had a smaller tot area as well as an inclusive, larger space for all. Overall, this is a wonderful facility that fosters inclusion and a welcome addition to the area.

Our child was a late talker, so we did our research and found East Bay Child Development Center…read more(formerly PLTA). From intake to our final class, the staff made sure that the scheduling process was a breeze, and that visits did not fall short of expectations. They have an excellent staff dedicated to your child's development, and the office is pristine. Not just clean; very well kept. I noticed that there wasn't one tear on a book or broken toys. They put lots of effort into upkeep, knowing well that toys and books can take a beating with younger kids. East Bay Child Development Center has terrific speech therapists and therapists specialized in helping in all other types of child development, including but not limited to physical therapy, etc. We went through 2 different speech therapists and 1 or 2 therapy students which was a little harder for our son to grow accustomed to because it would take him awhile to warm up (which I've learned isn't unusual for any development therapy center), but each therapist tried their absolute best to ensure they were giving him the utmost care and attention.

That speech is not a good fit for him, that his sister runs around the hallways exploring toys and opened doors of offices, about me get a phone call so they discharged him from services. This is racism and discrimination by the way ladies I want to give you suggestions, your office needs a new administration, organisation and functionality. Everybody there seems to go everywhere, I don't know if these people work here are they clients. The back door to the outside was open, this is called dysfunctional. The office receptionist was like his first day to work, confused and looked around like a lost boy. There four people by office were speaking loud and chatting. They failed my son years ago when he was younger because they said he was not ready for speech when I just changed my insurance to get accepted to come here. Now he's 12 years old saying he's not a good fit. Shame on you to say that to me. You can't discharge him that's illegal. My son is trying with his speech and he has rights in California to receive speech therapy any age. Discrimination by the ability, then age, what's next because his sister running around the office and also I was on the phone? For that lady who spoke with me today over the phone couldn't wait on me. And making me feel like I was being fired from the job, she sounded rude and said my daughter was running around the room and I was speaking loud on the phone so the excuse to fail my son. Then changed her words saying he's not a good fit and he runs fast and wants to push the kids. She needs to find more excuses for her to dismiss him. You don't know how hard and challenging to be a mother of autistic kid. I finally thought I have him his speech going and then you locked me up like shutting my mouth. Go see if your speech therapist is the one who has the problem. She too lazy to give speech therapy or has a lack of skills. This is Shameless and discrimination.
