Abby is so knowledgeable and helpful. She knows how to handle and take care of babies. She is very good at exploring my baby preferences and remembers what my baby likes and don't. The session is one on one so we have the entire floor and don't need to share it with any kid. PT is tough for even adults, let alone babies/kids. So please be patient and give them time to get along with each other. Your baby will cry, mine did a lot. I'm ok with that as I know she is growing and pushing her limit. No matter how good the PT is, your baby loves YOU and loves to interact with you the most. So it would help a lot if you get up and help the PT during the exercise such as calming your baby down, talking to him/her, etc. I know we paid a lot for the PT to do their jobs, but at the same time you also want to get the most out of your money right?

Our youngest son was diagnosed with torticollis (also known as wryneck) when he was about 6 weeks…read moreold. Kris Nakaji, who has done incredible work with our older son, helped resolve our younger son's case of torticollis in a matter of just a few months. She worked with him multiple times each week and sent us home with practical homework assignments such as setting up play spaces to encourage him to turn his head in the other direction, working with him on a yoga ball, distracting him with toys to move his head where it needed to move, etc. We were so impressed by how quickly our son recovered: he soon developed full range of motion and has not had any issues since. We are so grateful to Kris and the entire team at LGOST for providing outstanding physical therapy to both of your boys!

To all the parents raising a child with a neurodivergent brain: I know it's hard to trust the…read moreprocess, but take it from this mom: "trust the process." I know how exhausting it can be. The endless research, appointments, teacher conferences, and constant questions about how to best support your child and help them reach their full potential. I've sat through countless meetings where I was told my child was too wiggly, too silly, or not meeting expectations. I've experienced the heartbreak of camps, sports, and social situations that didn't always work out as planned. My son, Ben, has always been a foot taller than his peers, and as many parents of taller children know, people often expect maturity that doesn't necessarily match their age or developmental stage. One of Ben's biggest struggles has been tunnel vision, Executive functioning skills, and maturity. Today marks a huge milestone: Ben has officially graduated from Occupational Therapy. This accomplishment didn't happen overnight. It took years of hard work, patience, consistency, and guidance. Mrs. Alex and Mrs. Hannah have been instrumental in helping Ben develop the skills, confidence, and self-awareness he needed to grow into the amazing young man he is becoming. They met him where he was, celebrated his strengths, and gave him the tools to succeed in a way that worked for him. I would also like to thank April in the back office. From scheduling appointments to helping our family navigate the logistics over the years, she was always kind, welcoming, and supportive. The little things matter, and her warmth and care helped make every visit a positive experience. Watching Ben grow and mature has been one of the greatest joys of my life, and I truly couldn't have done it without this incredible team. Their dedication, compassion, expertise, and belief in my son made all the difference. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Mrs. Alex, Mrs. Hannah, and April. You have all played an important role in Ben's journey, and our family will be forever grateful.

While I did find Mary to be just as knowledgeable and passionate as many other reviewers here,…read moreworking with her didn't turn out to be the best fit for my family. There are a few things that I wish I had known from the beginning, so I thought it might be helpful to share them with other families who are interested in the center: -at this point, fall of 2019, it doesn't seem that there is anyone else working at the center-some reviews mentioned a team of people, so I'm guessing that might have been in years past -because of Mary's delicate immune system, she requested that we cancel sessions if anyone in our family had any signs of illness, such as a runny nose. With my family, this was problematic, as I have a younger son too and work with children in my own work, so we ended up missing quite a few sessions even in the first month -communication about scheduling, superbills, etc can be challenging. Overall, I wish that these issues had not cropped up, as I definitely had the feeling that Mary has a lot to offer her clients and she also can be supportive of parents as well, with parenting tips if they are wanted.

Ms Mary explained us the entire theory of AIT, how to relate the audiogram and the perceived apprehensive sounds, gave us books on the topics, explained us what to expect of AIT. She also explained us how some of these sounds would cause pain in the child's ears and affect them emotionally to develop into a fear of sound. During the entire two week period, Mary was very caring and courteous to our daughter. Apart from the training, helped my daughter get over the fears with a very practical approach making her clean using a silent vacuum cleaner etc. She has given us practical tips of how to eliminate the fear by gradually exposing to attenuated sounds and increasing the intensity etc. the highlight of the entire Training process was the care with which Ms Mary approached and made my child feel comfortable

From the start, Julia focused on setting the right, achievable goals, and it made all the difference. Because of her expertise, my son was able to meet every milestone we set. Her communication with us as parents is top-notch; after every session, she provides a clear summary of his strengths and areas for improvement, which helps us stay on track at home. Most importantly, my son absolutely loves her and looks forward to every session. We couldn't be happier with the progress he's made! I also want to give a huge shout-out to Tracy at the front desk! She is always so welcoming and helpful.

I can't thank the staff enough, all of whom are so kind, for their services and for the wonderful care they provided my daughter while she was a patient at this clinic.

We had other family members who had come to Sensory Solutions for very different sensory challenges, and they highly recommended that we speak with Teri, the Director. I was overwhelmed by all of the unknowns we faced as parents with the clear challenges our son had -- daily life was challenging as he seemed to crumble with every new experience, every unexpected sound or touch, every surprise. We went through an evaluation with an OT (Kirsi) at Sensory Solutions, and she was able to quickly discern the underlying struggles behind the constant meltdowns we were experiencing. Having a name for these challenges and understanding of what was happening made all the difference for us. We have now been doing weekly OT for almost 18 months, and our son is in a much better place (and so are we). While he continues to be highly sensitive on most fronts, we have tools to navigate his sensitivities and help him through hard moments. We are so grateful to have had the expertise and care of Kirsi and the Sensory Solutions team. Our son has developed a strong bond with his OT and enjoys his appointments -- they're so fun he doesn't realize he's in therapy. We have wanted to steer clear of any therapeutic approaches that would make him feel like something is wrong with him because we know his challenges come alongside particular gifts, and the care we have experienced at Sensory Solutions has been perfect for this. Kirsi's focus on building his confidence and resilience has helped him tremendously, and we see the difference in him at home, at school, with family, everywhere.
