Staff at Dream Big are incredible, very personable, and create great rapport with both the parents and the children that they have worked with. My son is EXCITED to go to school there every day. And it warms my heart seeing him give all the staff member's huge smiles, even if they don't directly work with him. His social skills, coping tools, and receptive understanding has improved greatly in just the one year that he has been enrolled, and we are looking forward to seeing his continued growth in this next year.

Wow what an amazing location for kids-a dream room literally. They have different themed rooms like…read morespace/kitchen/art/trains/music/doctors waiting room/dinosaur excavation room/nursery/etc all under one roof. It's so clean inside with no shoe policy and the toys are clean. I've been to other places where the toys are filthy and look as though they never wipe them down. This place is the opposite. The day we went they also had the monrovia fire truck come outside and give the kids a demonstration of the uniform, air tank, and let the kids operate a mini fire hose. It was amazing. My son didn't want to leave. Make sure you feed your kid first or bring lunch because your kid will not want to leave. You can bring a sack lunch and there's a designated room to feed your kid and eat. Wish I could come back but only open weekdays for public and weekends is usually for parties.

This review is purely on my visit today for a tour of the facility with Tracy. The location is…read moregreat, has a private lot with plenty of parking, and with surrounding businesses and restaurants in the area. The office is located inside a medical building. The clinic/therapy rooms are nice and clean. Additionally there are 2 restrooms for clients to use that is not shared with the entire building. This is a definite bonus for the clients and their safety. This facility is geared for older teens and adults. I like that it is setup appropriately for this age group (it is not "kiddie" looking). I will be back to post an updated review once services are actually started based on the services we receive.

As Parents of an Autistic…read more4-year-old child , We had no idea how to help him , when he was having a meltdown , or would simply cry and cry for no reason. He was also self harming himself . Our child has been coming here for almost a year now and the transformation has been nothing short of a blessing. He speaks, interacts, laughs, and smiles so much more now. He's playful the way a child should be -- he reads, paints, colors, eats well, and even shares with others. His whole attitude has changed for the better. He's not self harming himself anymore , instead has learned to use his words to communicate what he needs to, and want . He learned stranger danger which was a big deal for us as he like to wonder off with strangers . He learned to use the restroom, and so much more . We are extremely thankful for the Arcadia behavioral frontiers center , who have shown nothing but love, respect and kindness to our child. He loves each and every therapist so much thank you to everyone at the Arcadia center for putting effort in helping our son, every single team member has made sure to help him in anyway possible and turn a trying day into a fun filled happy lesson.

North Los Angeles Regional Center assigned Optima Family Services for my son who has a speech…read moredelay. Melissa Ahamad, (SLPA) started working with my son when he was at 15 months old my son cannot say anything other than Mama and Papa. Fastforward to today, he is now 2years old and has over 80 words though not perfectly pronounced but still a big big improvement from how he was before. We started with sign languages then to minimal words. He hits himself when he cannot express his emotions, so when he started to use and understand the word NO, hitting was gone. It's such a relief. Kids express themselves better through language. At the end of each session, Melissa would give me recommendations for me to continue what she's doing with my son. Goals are set at each period and we try to meet them, e.g. follow steps, identify 5 objects, action words etc. At 2 years old, NLARC added another therapy for my son which is Child Development Services/ Infant Stimulation Therapy. Ernesto is my son's therapist for this service. He is also great! I have lots of questions regarding my son's behavior and development and he answers them patiently and explain everything to me, he even brought a book as reference for our topic. Their Supervisor Dara is also awesome! She evaluates my son's progress and works/plays with him well even though she's technically a stranger for him cos he has only seen him twice but she got my son to play with him unlike the other evaluator who would just stop trying just because he's shy. The office is so easy to contact, whenever I ask for paperwork they would easily send it to me! I love Optima Family Services, Keep it up! You help lots of kids and families.

Our family was referred to Katie after my husband and I were granted permanent guardianship of our…read more5 year old grandson. Our grandson suffered so much neglect, abuse and loss in his short little life, it was hard to tell whether his difficulties were as a result of in utero drug/alcohol exposure, developmental delays or sheer trauma! We were so relieved to finally "get" Katie, who kindly and compassionately helped guide us through the process of getting the answers we wanted and the help our grandson needed! We have found Katie to be reliable, conscientious and very thorough. She has even gone to school with our grandson and spent the day with him and his teachers, in order to get a clearer picture of the issues he faces. But more importantly, Katie is empathetic! She has sat in our home, more than once, and cried with us. That kind of emotional support is invaluable to us, above and beyond the practical help that she continues to provide. She is a gift to our family.

Choosing Holding Hands over other facilities is the best decision I have made. Everything is clean ( including their restrooms) Toys are sanitized and well organized. Everyone is friendly and warm. One more thing I love about this facility is that they LISTEN. It is very important to me that people will listen to my concerns, and even if I dont say it, they will give suggestions and inform me of what I need to know, they are able to adjust to and accomodate my requests to meet the needs of my daughter and they were able to resolve issues professionally in a timely manner. Our BCBA Michelle and Janise are very smart, competent and knowledgeable, my daughter's therapist, Angela, is very professional, efficient and dedicated to her work. All of them have been very supportive, understanding and patient, I cant thank them enough for everything they have done. My daughter is hyperactive and runs away from me, she refused to hold my hand or sit still when needed, thats why its hard for me to take her out in public places by myself, its always been a struggle, but she has changed so much just a few weeks of her session, I will never forget the day I was able to take my daughter with me as I run errands, she walked next to me holding my hand. We were able to overcome elopement challenges because of their help. I have learned so much from them and appreciate everyone in this facility.
