Her teacher, Mary Frances was able to find the perfect balance of giving her space while strongly encouraging her when the time was right. As a result, she loves school and has become so much more confident. She even likes PE now which has always been difficult for her. She has participated in music recitals and school plays and she is very proud of being a part of these performances. In the past it has been difficult for her navigate through having more than one friend. She has made so many friends at Frostig and has the support she needs when she doesn't know what to do. The social skills program gives her a space to ask questions and gain understanding. People with autism often do want to understand things they just aren't able to on their own. Frostig understands this and gives her the extra help she needs to be successful socially as well.

They "customize" the program to the child and use a lot of un-scientifically sound programs. Still, we were committed or perhaps desperate to help our child. After all the time and effort, I think what happened is that she just got older, and they called this progress. I don't think it was worth the time and especially the money. Most of the "clinicians" are young college graduates and they are friendly and follow the programs well. They are good people, but I voiced my opinion that I didn't think the program was being effective and wanted to make sure we were on the right track. I was repeatedly told that it was a part of the program and that we'd "see" all the work done as it begins to translate outside of their program at the very end of the program. At the end of the program, I feel like they just "finished" the program because they couldn't justify taking any more of our money and time. At the end we still have major behavior problems and poor grades, etc.

She was always so sweet and so encouraging with him. She is already missed and it hasn't been a week since we've said goodbye.

Brian Griffeath-Loeb has been an incredible support for our kids--starting in elementary school,…read morecontinuing through college, and now helping one son with preparation for grad school. He really connects with our boys, meeting them where they are at each moment in their development and helping them recognize their strengths while finding ways to work through learning differences. Brian listens first, then offers thoughtful guidance. He's great at tailoring his approach to each of our sons' learning styles--whether they respond better to visual or auditory cues, and often they need both. He's calm, reliable, and he has made himself available when we need feedback or have questions as parents. One of our kids went from feeling completely lost in elementary school to graduating magna cum laude in college, and Brian played a huge role in that journey. He even helped them learn how to work with their teachers, whose styles didn't quite match their own. Brian truly goes the extra mile, and we're so grateful to have him in our corner.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and dedication that Mark Woodsmall has…read moreshown to my family. From the very beginning, Mark has been more than just an advocate -- he has been a true ally and guiding light through one of the most challenging journeys we've faced. Mark's deep understanding of special education law and the complexities of the school district system has been nothing short of life-changing for our family. He has stood firmly by our side, ensuring that our son's needs were not overlooked or minimized. When the district tried to cut essential services, Mark skillfully and compassionately stepped in, using his expertise to protect our child's rights. What truly sets Mark apart is his ability to see through the misleading language and tactics often used by districts to deny or delay services. He doesn't just respond -- he educates and empowers families like ours to understand the process and stand strong. Mark Woodsmall is, quite simply, a Godsend. His integrity, compassion, and unwavering commitment to children with special needs make him a rare and remarkable advocate. Because of his efforts, our son continues to receive the support he needs to thrive -- and for that, we will be forever grateful.

Mark met us where we were at-which was pretty defeated at the time- not just with legal expertise, but with personal insight and emotional sensitivity. He and his team walked us through every step of the process, with thoroughness, detail, communication, patience, warmth, and kindness. He once said, "I know you like to know how the soup is made...", and took the time to explain to me the intricate and oftentimes overwhelming legal jargon, history and process'. A little about us-our daughter was diagnosed with Autism, OCD, ADHD, Tic Disorder, Excoriation, MDD and GAD when she 14. She was and is also considered a "2-E" or "twice exceptional" student, meaning simultaneously intellectually gifted and neurologically, mentally and emotionally challenged. Despite her challenges in almost every other aspect of her life, she thrived academically, musically and artistically, receiving a 4.4 GPA almost every year in high school. Because of her grades and like many girls with neurodivergence, her ability to mask, public schools overlooked how much she was suffering on a day to day basis. She struggled with large student populations, constant noise with no where to hide, the ruminating thoughts that come with OCD about every single stimulus she was exposed to, executive functioning, etc. Autism made it hard to navigate friendships among a giant pool of people that left her neurological system in overdrive daily. She needed an alternative setting to learn, but the public school system could not offer an alternative learning space that also offered the academic rigor that she needed and deserved. Mark and his team did not over promise, were real with us and fought for us with integrity, calmness, and dedication. They always remembered that the outcome we wanted was for our daughter, and he would often ask how she was doing. Our daughter was able to attend a school with a smaller class size, AP classes, art and music offerings, a larger support team, and has been thriving since-not just academically, but she has made friends, plays high school beach volleyball, DRIVES!, and comes home most days pretty calm. This outcome would not have been possible without Mark Woodsmall and his team. We are immensely grateful and can not thank him and his team enough!

I've used them for about 2 years, on and off, and unfortunately, it's hard to find good special needs therapy organizations in Los Angeles. I have Anthem Blue Cross so I've used a couple other organizations but ALP tends to have better staff compared to others, but unfortunately, they tend not to stay for whatever reason, and we're stuck with another trainer, coach every 6-8 months. Although Dr. Gina Chang is listed as the president of ALP, she doesn't have any interaction with patients. Most interactions are with staff via phone or "trainers". The current one we have, Jennifer, has been great and I hope she stays with the company but she has been our 6th one in over 2 year period.

All the good Therapist end up quitting the company due to how the schedule their staff. And the ones they hire to replace them have no experience and probably very minimal training. When I addressed my concerns about my son's current therapist with the BCBA, I was just brushed off and Informed that they would not reassign my son to a different therapist who has more experience. They seem to hire just anyone. Also when we initially started with the company, they were forcing on us to do 40 hours a week when he initially was only approved for 25 hours. They seemed like they only want to bill my insurance and just send any random person to be with my son. We had also informed our developmental pediatrician about this and he agreed that they are only looking to bill the insurance. We have had great therapist during our time with ALP But all have either left the company or were removed from my son's case due to their own scheduling conflicts. At the end of they day, they do not care about your child's development but their own bottom line. To any parent reading this, please do your research and avoid ALP. Just because they respond to your providers inquiry fast doesn't mean they are good. I only wish there were more regulations and ways to report companies like ALP.
