Wow, I am so impressed with Disability Advocacy Services (DAS). Pam and Jamie helped our family out…read moreSO much this last school year. They are knowledgable, experienced and are dependable. They are worth every cent of their fee. I have never met two people that cared so much about my sons success in school. They ask all the right questions and are really good at seeing what needs to happen in order for your child to receive the services they deserve and get the help they need in the school system. This portion of our public school system is absolutely broken. If you are not trained in special education, the process of working with the schools is so foreign, you will be lost and left scratching your head. The sad fact is, if your child has or needs an IEP, you need an advocate in my opinion. My son has had an IEP for years and could have been getting help all those years, but I was unaware of what is available and due to our children with special needs. I am so thankful I came across DAS.

We've had such an amazing experience with my son ABA team here at Frontiers Behavior. We just hit…read morethe one-year mark, and I can honestly say it's been such a positive journey for our family. Marisol has been Kyrie's BT since the beginning, and she has truly been the best. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and she's been so wonderful with my son. The other BTs he's worked with have also been phenomenal, everyone there is so patient, kind, and caring. His case manager, Seth, has been great with communication and always keeps us informed. Sharon, the Senior Director, has been incredibly sweet and supportive since day one. I've seen some of the older negative reviews, but I honestly feel like those may have been from before Sharon took over. Our experience has been nothing but positive. Malia at the front desk is the sweetest, and every time we're there, I see how much the entire staff truly cares about the kids. It means so much as a parent. My son has gained so much since attending this ABA, and we are beyond grateful for the whole team. I can't thank everyone enough. Please give this place a chance..they've been phenomenal! Also, we've never had any issues with scheduling. If there's any changes, they inform us way ahead of time. If my son's BT might be sick or not able to come in, there's always someone that's been able to cover.

PARENTS BEWARE !!!!!!…read more If you are a working parent gainfully employed DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE. The scheduling and or lack thereof is too inconsistent unfortunately. Sessions are often cancelled unbeknownst to parents causing anguish to those of us who have jobs. You are often left to either call out from your job and or scramble for other means of care for your child. Too many unpredictable days here in this center. I have missed important meetings as a result of no-shows in this center, staff members not returning, sessions being cancelled, etc. A NIGHTMARE !!!! Someone is always cancelling and or calling out. They do not have a robust system in place at all. There are other ABA clinics in Placer county that "may" have a better system in place but again if you are a working parent and or a single working parent DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE. There's another clinic within close proximity in that same parking structure and I was told that other parents have also complained about Behavior Frontiers to the other clinic. PARENTS ARE CRYING as a result of Behavior Frontiers scheduling tactics that have left countless parents on edge. BE CAREFUL PARENTS !!!!

Statement to anyone considering enrolling their child at Loomis Gateway Academy…read more As a mother of a severely dyslexic child I feel a responsibility to share with our community that the director at Loomis Gateway Academy is falsely stating she is certified in Wilson Reading System. I have verified with Wilson Reading System (WRS) that the senior director is not certified in any WRS program. As parents of dyslexic children I find It incredibly disheartening that anyone would attempt to mislead our parents. The director, Tesa Briles is trying to pass off WRS course work as being certified in Wilson. As a certified Wilson instructor (Wilson Dysleixa Practitioner) and a mother of a dyslexic child I feel it is my moral obligation to advocate for the children and support the parents. Her statements are misleading and factually untrue. Parents who are planing on attending Loomis Gateway Academy now or in the future, please know that there are no certified Wilson teachers at Loomis Gateway Academy. Tesa Briles, or any teacher at Loomis Gateway Academy does not hold a certification in the Wilson Reading Program. You can contact Wilson Reading System at 18008998454 to verify that Tesa Briles is not a certified in any WRS program. When I started on this journey with my son six years ago I wouldn't have known the questions to ask. It's my hope that I can help educate parents and advocate for our children. It's hard enough finding the right help for our children without being lied to from the people we are entrusting to help our children.

I truly can't say enough positive things about the impact that PLC had on my son's education. He…read moreattended PLC from 3rd to 7th. Before finding this school, we tried a couple of other school settings that just weren't the right fit for his needs. From the moment he started here, everything felt different--in the best way. The level of care, attention, and dedication from the staff is outstanding. The daily check-ins gave my son the consistency and support he needed, and the communication with me as a parent was always clear, thoughtful, and reassuring. I always felt informed, included, and confident that he was in the best hands. Most importantly, my son achieved milestones here that I truly believe wouldn't have been possible anywhere else. The staff took the time to understand him as an individual and supported his unique needs in a way that helped him grow, both academically and personally. If you're looking for a school that genuinely cares and provides the extra attention children may need to thrive, I would highly recommend this one. It has made such a meaningful difference in our lives, and I'm incredibly grateful for everything they've done.
