As he got older, her therapists worked on his fine and gross motor skills. My son loved playing with Fiona and all the WeeFun therapists and graduated from the Regional Center last month when he turned 3. My son is a very happy, energetic, smart, animated, thriving toddler and we attribute his growth to WeeFun and the love, compassion, patience and care that they gave him.

UPDATE: The owner reached out to me following my review directly ensuring that this is all being…read moretaken care of. I really appreciate it as the quality of therapy is top notch! I really didn't want to be forced to switch providers. DO NOT go to this provider if your insurance is out of network! We are very sad that we have to terminate services with our OT, Jessica, over issues with management and billing. This provider is out of network for us so our insurance is billed by the provider and the insurance sends us checks to turn over to the provider. All other out of network providers take the checks from us and that's that...very simple process. Wonderkind refuses and wants us to scan each individual check and EOB which is a long tedious process. When we first started getting checks, I would bring them to the front office. The front desk would be like "oh don't pay now or give them to us now, we may have to invoice you for each one." It took them MONTHS to get this process straight. I had to bug them to try to make payments! Fast forward a few months later, I'm now being harassed for payments because "we cant pay our therapists." That's not my problem when your billing department FAILED to collect proper payments for MONTHS! I've sent over all the insurance checks I have and I'm being harassed with repeated square invoices for thousands because "according to the insurance these payments have been remitted." I've repeated to them that I don't have the checks! My suspicion is that they take forever to actually bill the insurance, the insurance takes their time to cut the checks and Wonderkind is harassing me so that I just pay everything up front. I am a mom of TWO special needs children. I don't have the time or space to continuously bug my insurance for checks. How long they take to pay is out of my control. I chose this provider because of the great reviews and they were nearby- I was willing to pay a little more for the convenience. It's all blown up in my face and I wouldn't recommend this facility to anybody- which is sad because the actual therapist is amazing.

I've been on a waitlist for an afternoon appointment since June. No follow up. I've given up and just kept my regular schedule. 2. They have an automated text reminder. 3 times I received it and emailed them to confirm because the therapist told me she'd be out that day. Once I showed up and was told their new therapist doesn't start until a week later. Despite me getting the reminder from them. 3. I called for a day of the week change and was told they need to confirm the therapist availability and that they'll call me back once it's confirmed. I never got that call. 4. I had some problems with FSA where their receipts aren't accepted and they told me they would change my receipt from ST to say speech therapy. That never happened. Anything schedule related I just settled and work around the day he has. As far as FSA I go in have have them print me a detailed itemized receipt. Overall if you need something done and they can do it then and there, it'll be done quick. Phones and emails gets answered quickly. And you get a fast response. The problem is with their follow up and follow through. Interesting for a place that teaches speech has poor communication themselves.

But they could never keep an OT aide at there West Covina office for very long. I think in the 2 years we were there he went through 3 OT aides. But there was always a billing issue with my insurance. And it always created a bigger issue. They would always charge me for the most recent session before the EOB was even cleared. At one point I had to keep track of my deductible and what they were charging. And in the end they had to reimburse me about 120 dollars for over charges. Then I noticed that I was getting EOB under my name for the services and not my son's name. And since I owed to much money they decided to put my sons services on hold. After that we did not go back to the clinic it was super frustrating.

The staff at Carrico Pediatric Therapy are awesome. They always happily greet my son even when he isn't their most cooperative client. My son has been receiving OT with Liz since he was 8 months old (now he is almost 2 1/2) and PT with Maria for about 9 months now after we switched from another clinic. He has made so much progress over this time. I am very thankful for Liz and Maria. Maria is a very caring person. She is his 4th PT (1st clinic had a staffing issue) and despite his protest during the sessions he isn't nervous to see her like he was with the other therapists. He tells me, "Go see Ms. Maria. Ok" and smiles and walks to our front door to leave. My son can be not so cooperative but she finds a balance between respecting what he wants (or doesn't want to do) while still getting him to do some work. She is very observant to his development and was the one to suggest orthotics to help him. While talking to me after one session she noticed a concern in my younger son and encouraged me to get an evaluation for him as well. Liz has more patience then anyone I know. She started off working with him in our home but we switched to the clinic when he was a year and a half. He used to (and I'm sure still does) yell at her (protesting some activity that is beneficial to him) every single session and she just kept going, redirecting him and giving him breaks as needed. She works on his motor development, sensory processing development, and encourages him to eat new foods. She does this in a friendly, silly way that gets my sons attention so he is more willing to try the activity they are working on. She has lots of ideas for us to try at home, including his sensory diet which is filled with activities he needs and enjoys. read more

Hhhhmm there is so much to say when it comes to the outstanding occupational therapy we have been fortunate to receive from Carrico pediatric therapies. Liz was a perfect fit for my sons unique (in some circles known as a strong willed) personality. Her passion for working with children is easily identified within the first few minutes of watching her work. She comes to ever session with same positive welcoming attitude she presented the first day we met her. She's been instrumental in helping guide him to make such strides in his progress and my wife and I couldn't be more thankful for her guidance, support and helpful suggestions. Carrico clearly hires the best to care for it's patients. Your kids couldn't be in better hands when it comes to finding a center to help them with their occupational or physical therapy needs. read more

My daughter had Maria as a Physical Therapist and she was one the best PTs we have had so far! Because of her, my daughter can now enjoy rocking on a swing at the park all by all herself. Before we had Maria, my daughter couldn't rock back and forth on a swing all by herself. Maria is very friendly and passionate about what she does and she is very loving and at the same time very firm so my daughter listened to her well. My daughter loves her! I definitely recommend Maria for any parent who needs Physical Therapy!! read more

I recently learned that my son was in need of occupational therapy. I am so gald that Liz was chosen to be my sons therapist. Since the start of the therapy sessions, Liz showed professionalism, kindness, and patience towards my son. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. In the few weeks that my son has been receiving therapy, he has already shown immense improvement. Improvement that my whole family has noticed. I really appreciate all the work that she is doing.
