They have outside activities and little field trips.  If you have a neurodiverse kid and you live in the area...DO NOT look anywhere else.  The owner, Ms Brooke, is a caring creative person who is on-site and runs a tight ship. You can relax and know your little one is safe and cared for with excellence! Also, everything needed for your child's success is located in one place.   * We previously had to go to three different locations, five days a week. I had to go part-time in our business due to driving our kid to all his appointments! It was a full time job.  I feel like we have our lives back. Conscious Kids gets 5 STARS Dr L

And…read morethen follow-up appointments are $500 an hour or $250 every half hour, and they will not renew your prescriptions if you don't actively have regular appointments. The brain scan and the counsel and the supplement advice I received were helpful to know, but I think I could have gotten a lot more out of those $5,000. It really didn't tell me anything new and they didn't prescribe me anything revolutionary. Even though I can see what's going on with my brain, you still have to think your way through this. So I don't think if you're considering whether you should spend $6,660 at the Amen Clinic or invest it in cognitive behavioral therapy, I say you'd be better off using it on therapy. It was an interesting experience, albeit expensive and not so fruitful, but I think the worst part is the not getting prescriptions renewed because I don't want to pay 500 bucks an hour. I found it's not a true "care" or solution place- it's a profit center primarily, with short-term focus and poor priorities for human care.

When we came last January for a trial day I knew that we would have substantial challenges moving into a classroom setting. Our son was diagnosed at an early age and does have severe symptoms, as well as being non verbal. But after spending the last four years with various agencies in the DTT model at home, we were ready for a change. After our intake assessment, it was clear that our son wasn't ready for a classroom setting. So instead they made the offer for us to access the clinic for ABA and push into the Academy over time. He's really blossomed in this model. He's totally acclimated to the classroom now, and will be moving into the classroom full time soon. Any complaints I've had have been met with solutions and if there was a problem they could not solve they referred me to someone who could. Mr. Sam and Karlie are great teachers, and the classroom is amazing. Music therapy is twice a week and they have clinics for OT and speech. Once a month there are Saturday camps, and Friday evening camps as well. These don't have an additional cost except for siblings and as long as you have therapy hours available. Holiday events have been so much fun! The school doesn't require verbal only like every other competitor in the area that refuses to serve any other population other than tier 1 verbal kids. So that was a huge plus for us. The program is year round. Overall we are really satisfied, and look forward to the 2019-2020 school year.

I would like to counter the negative review listed recently . The ABA industry as a whole has this…read moreissue because it is unbelievable the work it takes to get funding. The driving and the distances to family homes often precludes a substitute if a session is cancelled last minute. (Especially in a county as huge as LA) Parents also commonly have to cancel at the last minute . What company has someone on standby to drive an hour to do a session that may not even work on the child's needs because they are not part of that case? Most parents would prefer someone they know to do these sessions , not some random other employee. What parent wants a sick therapist bringing germs into their home? I know from personal experience that Yvonne Bruinsma and her staff genuinely care about these kids. She isn't doing this to make money. She's doing it to change lives and finds her purpose in serving ,as do most of her staff.

Scheduling does not communicate well with the staff. They will tell you one thing and do another. We finally found a BI that worked well with my son. We worked with her for a year and she had connected with my son. He was finally making progress. However, my husband's insurance was terminated. I clearly communicated with Love 2 Learn about our situation. I reached out to OC regional to get funding for sessions immediately. Love 2 Learn told me they would give us two weeks before they would replace the BI with another case. I had funding from OC regional in less than two weeks however, Scheduling did not communicate with the staff and the BI was already removed from our case. This was very disheartening for our family. I did speak with Ruben, after being informed that the BI was no longer on our case. He informed me that most of the time OC regional takes longer than two weeks and that they had miscommunicated inside of their facility. I let him know that I worked my but off to get funding and I even hand-delivered the paperwork to OC regional to get the process going fast faster. I continue to follow up with Love 2 Learn about the process, however they didn't communicate within their company. Ruben, did not offer to give us the BI back even though it was their fault for the miscommunicates. I have the Text messages to prove it. He told us that they have other BI that would work great with my child and they wanted to move his session to the afternoon. I was disappointed, I never asked to move session to the afternoons and my son does better in the morning. Honestly, I had an hard time believing that they had someone better to replace the BI I worked so hard to keep. Autistic children have a hard time connecting with people and when they finally do connect and you just take the connection away it's not easy for them to reconnect with someone else. Prior to this BI We had multiple BI that did not work out. Mostly because of the hight turnover. I've even had to report one of those BI for doing insurance fraud and time clock fraud. After she repeatedly claimed hours and they billed our insurance for dates she was not here. She was terminated from the company after I reported her, but imagine how many times she got away with it before being caught.

URGENT WARNING TO PARENTS & FAMILIES: Reported to Federal & Local Fraud Authorities…read moreDo NOT trust Rize OC with your life, your family, or your recovery. This facility operates purely for profit, engages in highly illegal and dangerous practices, and will abandon patients on the street the moment insurance payouts drop. They are currently operating numerous rehabs & unregistered sober living homes in Fountain Valley, Forrest Hill, Mission Viejo, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach without registering with the city to deliberately evade local fines and avoid being shut down by municipal regulations regarding sober living residences. Major Violations & Warning Signs: Abrupt Abandonment: Patient was given a 12-hour notice to leave on a Saturday 7/25/26 with zero discharge planning, safe placement, or involvement from my therapist or case manager--despite available beds in the house--purely due to insurance reimbursement shifts. Active Fraud Reports: Official complaints and evidence have been submitted directly to Federal Health Care Fraud Departments, Local Task Forces, State Fraud Divisions, and Insurance Investigators regarding rampant billing fraud, phantom billing, illegal patient brokering, paying for patients' insurance premiums and co-pays, and forging physician signatures. Severe Patient Safety Risks: Beyond the financial corruption, there are gross privacy violations, lack of required licensure for mental health/SUD treatment services, and unsafe environments where controlled substances were improperly dispensed by patients due to staff shortages. Deceptive Practices: "Leadership" Straw man Chris promises unlimited 1-on-1 therapy during sales tours just to sign people up, knowing full well the clinical staff has no capacity to deliver. This is not a legitimate healthcare facility; it is a predatory operation taking advantage of vulnerable people and insurance systems. Save yourself and your loved ones: Stay far away. Note to management: If you attempt to respond and twist this back on me by falsely claiming I was drinking, using, or blaming it on alleged behavioral issues or administrative problems--none of which were ever the case--I will immediately start publicly posting receipts, documents, and photos of all the evidence.
