    We're still in the early stages of setting up all my son's services, but so far it's been organized…read moreand pretty timely. Cortica definitely has more of a "big chain" feel compared to the small, family-style clinics we were used to... things like multiple phone lines and staff menus before you get to the right person. But that's kind of expected with a nationwide company, and options in Marin for ABA and OT that take insurance are limited, if any others? The process has been clear: we started with a Nurse Practitioner, then an ABA assessor, and then the ABA supervisor who continues to meet with us regularly. They've taken into account data from our previous clinic down south, which we appreciated. Everyone has been super knowledgeable and kind. It's true there's a wait for RBTs due to staffing shortages, but once you're in, you still get regular parent training sessions with the ABA supervisor, which helps keep things moving while you wait. We're hoping to get an RBT soon. And Dr. V, the neurologist on site, is amazing. She's been fantastic with my son. Super communicative, supportive, and easy to talk to. She's very organized and her medical assistant has provided so much info for us which is great. It can all feel overwhelming, but I think the systems (online portals, phone mazes when calling, just the corporate infrastructure) is what kind of kills it for some folks...as it can start to get frustrating to have to do so much to get to the right 'person' for answers. However, I think some of that will fade away...as the rhythm of a schedule for therapies, follow-ups, etc. gets in the groove.

    Knowledgeable and caring staff; MD, music therapy, OT and ABA under one roof. I highly recommendread more

    My son is now a different person thanks to Lina!…read more Before we met Lina: We found out my younger son, Yi, had speech & fine motor delay when he was 15 months old. Early intervention started when he was 18 months old, followed by OT, ST and PT. Then he got the ASD diagnosis at 2-year old and ABA started two months later. However, with all the helps from all the therapists, no one was able to help Yi establish eye contact or help him learn to point. I got perhaps half a second eye contact with Yi in an entire month. Even when we had it, I was not sure because it was so brief - I thought it could be just me imagining things. Yi had many tantrums a day, very intense. He's in pain, we were in pain, every single day. When we met Lina: Day 1: within half an hour, Lina helped Yi establish SOLID eye contact with me!! I almost cried! He saw me! Day 2: Yi started to point, thanks to Lina! Before meeting Lina, I felt so overwhelmed and didn't know what I should focus on. Lina helped me prioritize and establish a plan for the next steps. - Thanks for Lina's push, I started the GCCF diet right after the training. Yi used to vomit when he had tantrum and cried a lot, which happened on a daily basis. A week after cutting out milk, Yi's vomiting stopped. - I signed up and took Hanen program "More Than Words" parents training, thanks to Lina's recommendation. It was another really helpful program that helped us a lot. Soon after meeting Lina, Yi's eye contact dramatically increased (we adopted the same method from Lina and taught all other therapists to do the same). He learned to point to communicate his needs. His vomiting stopped. With all these changes, Yi's tantrum greatly reduced. Yi has transformed from a suffering child living in his own iron bubble to a cheerful little boy who opens up to the outside world. I can't say enough thank you to Lina! She took time to understand my son, and gave us individualized trainings based on Yi's unique needs. You can tell this is not just a job for her. It's something that she cares deeply and passionate about and she's highly competent. We lived in the South Bay and I work full time. I'm so glad I made the decision to take time off from work and brought Yi with me to see Lina. It was the best decision I made and time really well spent.

    We have been seeing Lina for a few years and she has been both an instrumental "boots on the…read moreground" and "eye in the sky" when it comes to our autistic son. I cannot think of any higher praise that I could provide other than she is the model of what I think an excellent consultant is; knowledgeable, experienced, practical, compassionate, passionate, and responsive. Her services are truly valuable, both for my son, and our family as a whole. Having someone in your corner with the above skillset is hard to find in any profession, let alone the autistic one, and I recommend you not lose her number.

    My family has been with Sherry Spencer for 4 years. When our son, Liam was first diagnosed with…read moreAutism, Sherry was one of the first people we talked to about his diagnosis and getting him services outside of the district. She has been with our family ever since and has really fought for Liam at every turn. When we first started with her Liam's behavior was starting to go extremely downhill to the point where he was hitting and biting, he even gave me a black eye. Today he's in 2nd grade, is one of the sweetest kids I have ever met and is incredibly happy. I think some of Sherry's greatest strengths are: -parent training -putting a tailored program together that meets the need of your child -working with insurances to best meet the needs of the family -finding other services and programs that would be beneficial to the family

    Sherry Spencer started working with our family when my son was 3 years old. I believe the most…read moreimportant thing that she taught me, as we began this journey with Rowan, was not to put limits on his potential. Sherry always had high expectations for Rowan, pushing the boundaries of what he could do to encourage him reach for the next logical step. She kept a strong focus on Rowan's intellectual and emotional growth, developing programs that supported both.Sherry was always friendly and supportive to all she interacted with, whether it was family members or therapists in training. In addition, she trained school aids, and assisted to teachers with program development. She blended different types of therapy, with approaches and techniques that utilized the best of all. Her creative thinking has stimulated ongoing positive expectations for Rowan.

    I cannot say enough about FirstSteps for kids inc in Walnut Creek. They literally changed our…read morelives with our angel. Our son needed help learning, and from day one my wife & I were greeted(By Katie & Sam) with a smile and supported by them(entire Team) in such a way that I tear up sometimes just thinking about it. I feel so fortunate and lucky that we have had the honor of benefiting from their services, it really is a blessing. Everything about this team is extraordinary; they are courteous, they are well organized, informative, knowledgeable, courteous, genuine, professional and caring. Our son has learned so much working with the Team (Amanda, Ashleigh, Estefani, Sam, Samantha, Katie, Jaime, Courtney, Ariana, Solemon, Lisa, Diane, jennifer and Alyssa, from my wife and I, THANK YOU!!!

    (Part 2 continuation)…read more Once again I had expressed my concerns with our new BCBA, Amber and she suggested we all meet for a meeting in person (Clinical Regional Director, Wai-Ling would be virtual since she is in Alhambra) BCBA, Amber and Program Manager, Ariana and myself to address my concerns and she would get back to me with a date and time. It turns out it would have to be virtual. We had the meeting and right away the Regional Clinical Director stated "we will not be going to be reviewing details of prior concerns" but she wants to review an agreement they drafted. They should have had in included along with all the other forms when we first became clients. Basically it was an agreement that was probably made up right before the meeting and whatever was not on the original agreement that I had signed in the beginning, they just added it to this made up one. Basically they went behind my back and thought I was going to sign a made up agreement. Their service agreement says one thing and they do another thing. Then the Program Manager, Ariana calls one of our RBT's to tell her that we will no longer be a client just so she doesn't come to our home blind sided. I'm surprised they were able to communicate that. First of all she shouldn't be discussing anything about us since they take everything so secretly. Then our BCBA, Amber sends a message to all our RBT's not to be discussing and scheduling or instructor questions with me (once again behind my back). I can say whatever I want at my house. If they have that rule for their RBT's in the center, that's fine but do not tell me what I can or can't say or do at my own house. I reached out for help and support but all I received was stress. Every night I would go to sleep (especially Sunday) and have so much anxiety just thinking what's going to go wrong the next morning. I regret our former ABA therapy recommending clients there. It's difficult enough having to see your child go through ABA and they just made things worse. It's sad how the RBT's get attached to their kiddos and they don't even notify the RBT's when their last day is with their kiddos. They have no heart and don't care for the kiddos and should not be running a business. The RBT's are just a number who have no say and are treated like slaves wasting their time driving from place to place since there are so many mistakes made by the scheduler and the company only cares about making money. Seems like the parents they have as clients are just treating it like a babysitting service. Last but not least, our BCBA, Amber emailed me (the night before) talking about our RBT, Caitlin's last day will be Friday (the next day) knowing that this was approved a month ago. Talk about last minute and no communication. Caitlin (RBT) had thought all her families were notified with enough notice, but not with her kiddos she was assigned with (Amber) BCBA. Caitlin (the original director) needs to come back ASAP or else they are going to bring that company DOWN! FIRSTSTEPS needs to take the first step and GET IT TOGETHER.
