She was also great at educating us parents on strategies we could implement right away and gave us a framework for understanding the recommendations of other speech therapists. Months later, her recommendations still match our hospital's high standards and her techniques have more depth than even the premier hospital-provided speech sessions we've learned from. Her bedside manner was great with both us as adults and our child, and I'm impressed at her ability to adapt to build trust with our child.

Our child was a late talker, so we did our research and found East Bay Child Development Center…read more(formerly PLTA). From intake to our final class, the staff made sure that the scheduling process was a breeze, and that visits did not fall short of expectations. They have an excellent staff dedicated to your child's development, and the office is pristine. Not just clean; very well kept. I noticed that there wasn't one tear on a book or broken toys. They put lots of effort into upkeep, knowing well that toys and books can take a beating with younger kids. East Bay Child Development Center has terrific speech therapists and therapists specialized in helping in all other types of child development, including but not limited to physical therapy, etc. We went through 2 different speech therapists and 1 or 2 therapy students which was a little harder for our son to grow accustomed to because it would take him awhile to warm up (which I've learned isn't unusual for any development therapy center), but each therapist tried their absolute best to ensure they were giving him the utmost care and attention.

That speech is not a good fit for him, that his sister runs around the hallways exploring toys and opened doors of offices, about me get a phone call so they discharged him from services. This is racism and discrimination by the way ladies I want to give you suggestions, your office needs a new administration, organisation and functionality. Everybody there seems to go everywhere, I don't know if these people work here are they clients. The back door to the outside was open, this is called dysfunctional. The office receptionist was like his first day to work, confused and looked around like a lost boy. There four people by office were speaking loud and chatting. They failed my son years ago when he was younger because they said he was not ready for speech when I just changed my insurance to get accepted to come here. Now he's 12 years old saying he's not a good fit. Shame on you to say that to me. You can't discharge him that's illegal. My son is trying with his speech and he has rights in California to receive speech therapy any age. Discrimination by the ability, then age, what's next because his sister running around the office and also I was on the phone? For that lady who spoke with me today over the phone couldn't wait on me. And making me feel like I was being fired from the job, she sounded rude and said my daughter was running around the room and I was speaking loud on the phone so the excuse to fail my son. Then changed her words saying he's not a good fit and he runs fast and wants to push the kids. She needs to find more excuses for her to dismiss him. You don't know how hard and challenging to be a mother of autistic kid. I finally thought I have him his speech going and then you locked me up like shutting my mouth. Go see if your speech therapist is the one who has the problem. She too lazy to give speech therapy or has a lack of skills. This is Shameless and discrimination.

Tea Taylor is professional, experienced and really knows her stuff. She had all kinds of excellent exercises and tips for me. I never felt rushed. She had the most healing touch. I had, what seemed like, skin adhering to bone. Miraculously, she was able to gently release that. I feel definite progress and healing after my 6+ weeks of therapy. She was kind and caring. I felt that she enjoyed her work and cared about helping me, as an individual patient, vs just 'putting her 8 hours in'. I was very happy with the parking, front office staff and the covid protocols at this Center. I highly recommend Tea.

They were getting so bad swelling and sores that I'd be in bed for weeks at times. After going to the Lymphedema Clinic everything began getting better quickly. My PT is Tea and she's been SO informative! Besides taking great care of me during my appointments, she's given me treatments to use at home that have changed my quality of life. I'd recommend anyone with this problem to be seen at the Lymphedema Clinic and I can't speak for any other therapist besides Tea, but she has been amazing. Besides nurturing and almost more important has been the knowledge and tools she's given me to help with this condition. I was surprised to not find other reviews. I know this is a tough, debilitating thing to deal with which is why I felt it was important to let people know about this clinic and how good they are.

The assessment and scheduling process was very easy, Aamani was ready to answer all our questions and concerns, she was kind enough to work around our schedules and was visiting us at home for the sessions. This made the process way easier and also comfortable for my daughter. We started working with Smarter Speech after our 2 year old missed her speech milestones. We started in April (had a break in June-July) and now in October, our daughter has officially graduated from her therapy. Aamani did an amazing job with her and with us, parents, as she gave us tips and tricks, areas to focus each week, she has tons of toys, she brings over, so our daughter was excited to play with her and improve her speech. I would strongly recommend Smarter Speech to everyone who is looking for a speech therapist. Especially now, when most of the centers still offer only an online sessions.
