Only giving 5 stars because I can't give 10!! I have 2 children with ASD. They're 3 (girl) and boy…read more(4). I can't say enough good things about BIG. Before starting therapy my husband and I were terrified to leave our babies with strangers and have no way to supervise whether they were ok or not. They've created such an environment we knew when we walked in the doors for assessments that our babies were in good hands. We were greeted with a warm welcome and buzzed into the back to take a tour of the facility while assessments were being done. There are devices in place to prevent children from eloping if they're prone to that. They are in a classroom setting however they still have a therapist assigned specifically for your child. Compared to other ABA clinics, BIG is the GOLD STANDARD of the Baton Rouge, Hammond, and the New Orleans area hands down. I love that they require a certain level of education to work there as well as requiring continued education. I won't go into detail, but It's very obvious that the children's well-being is top priority and this company isn't in it just for the money. Cassie, one of the owners seems to have a very close knit relationship with all the kids involved in her clinic. She has treated me and my family nothing short of like her own family. There is a BCBA present at all times instead of like some companies that just have a BCBA supervise periodically. Kelsey and Kourtney are AMAZING BCBAs and we started seeing huge improvements with both kids within the first week. My children are non-verbal and had no way to communicate upon starting. They VERY QUICKLY implemented PECS and gave my babies a way to talk to me. We've never had any issues with inconsistent staffing or had any days where there was not a therapist available to work with them unlike other companies who constantly have that issue. When we pull up to the building in the morning the kids both light up and begin smiling and laughing and I can just tell that they truly enjoy being there. I never wonder if they are being mistreated while they are there. Any time there is the least of an incident, they call and let you know what happened and send home a note with their daily report. Never have came home with any unexplained bumps or scrapes. They offer regular parent trainings which helps tremendously with implementing at home. They are very transparent when it comes to what their goals are with the kids and how they plan to get there. They educate you at meetings on the what/whys of everything they're doing. We live over an hour from Baton Rouge and stopped services to go with a company closer to home. That ended up a total nightmare. After extensive research on every single ABA company we could find in Louisiana, we ultimately decided the kids progressing in leaps and bounds was worth making the drive and are placing our kids back at BIG. We have to move closer to New Orleans within a year and have made the decision to even make that drive, that's how good they are. Also, BIG isn't JUST ABA therapy, they're an accredited school and there is no other clinic like them anywhere near the area, so there's no worry of rushing them into a traditional school system before they're ready. I can honestly say that I do not have one complaint about BIG or any of BIG's employees.

I've been knowing the owners Cassie and Renee before they got their own building! They inspire me…read moreby building their business helping those with autism and their families. I love the idea that they have locked doors to go in and out for the "runners" that attend classes and therapy here! As a mom with a child with exceptionalities, safety is paramount! All the employees are easily identified so you know who is staff and a visitor in the building! We are excited that our family member is attending a social skills classes that will help with everyday conversations and to also prepare for job interviews. I really like how professional they handled our application to the class: the professional phone call, the email with the application to see if we qualify for the class, the meeting with the behavior therapist to see if our family memeber is best suited for the class. Our family member was okay to take the class because they felt welcomed in the meeting before the class. The sitting area is comfortable with a tv that shows an informational video about their successful stories. I also did not know they have parent classes, educational tutors and classes for pre-k readiness too! The main goal is behavioral therapy for children with autism to be social, to speak, and to overcome their sensory issues All to be socially accepted in the "real world." BIG gives children that chance to learn to talk and make friends. I'm very excited that my child will be apart of the BIG family!

I highly rec commend Dr. Ann Lafranca, although she's probably booked up.

I have been to many counselors over the years and she was by far one of the best. She was clear and concise and helpful for the issues I was dealing with.

I am so thankful to have found her I only needed about 6 session to work through the issues I was dealing with and I will keep her # handy for any refreshers necessary.

We have pulled every tool out of our toolbox, read her all the feelings books, played games to focus on naming our feelings, played music, danced, and nothing works to move her out of her anger or sadness. We have asked other parents to share their strategies, but nothing we have tried has worked. So this week we decided to find a therapist and get some new tools. Today we brought the kids to our very first family therapy appt with Sam Giamanco at Sesh Therapy. The office was clean and comfy. Sam was great with the kids. I recognized myself getting a little overstimulated by all the noise of the kids playing while we talked, but Sam never batted an eye. We spent the first part of the session discussing what issues we wanted to work on, and the second half learning some new exercises. We officially have a plethora of new coping strategies in our parenting toolbox. Sam sat on the floor to play a game with the kids, and she had us all practice each of the new exercises she introduced. All of the kids are excited to try out our new exercises at home, and I am so glad we went together so they could learn the exercises with us and be involved in the appointment. I definitely think it helped that Sam was the one to introduce these skills, because she is not their parent, so it is much cooler to learn something from her. My husband and I were very comfortable with Sam and will definitely be back to check in with her on our family's progress. I'd also be comfortable leaving a child with her for individual therapy should that need arise. Please check her out if you are looking for individual, couples, or family therapy. She is great!

LT Beaton wrote this review:…read more Going to a doctor is never fun although I was pretty upbeat today when I walked into this clinic in the hopes that either Dr Taylor or Dr Moore was going to be my new doctor. I was sent by several strong referrals but never made it past the receptionist. The first thing catching my eye was a sign at the sign-in window warning everyone of EBOLA. Wasn't Fox News scaring people with that just last year. I think 2 or 3 U.S. citizens even contacted it? Why not warnings about obesity and substance abuse.....or mouth cancer from the 35 flavors of Skoa sitting on a store shelf just down the street? I wasn't there for pain but 1 of the forms said (in BOLD letters) "We don't treat people with chronic pain". Isn't that why people go to a doctor? Are there that many pill heads that doctors won't treat their patients anymore? After watching General Hospital in the waiting for 15 minutes, I decided to change the channel. There wasn't anyone in the room so I didn't see no harm. In the middle of changing it a young receptionist sarcastically said, "excuse me MISS but please don't touch the TV". I turned to laugh but there wasn't a smile on her face. She was genuinely angry. My shoulder length hair probably threw her but geez. I started getting really uncomfortable because obviously I had rubbed her wrong. After another 10 minutes finally left. I'm still looking for a good doctor (and a staff) that are compassionate with their patients.
