My daughter has been getting occupational therapy services at HealthPro Pediatrics (formerly KIDS Therapy) for about a year and a half now. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about this group and about Mrs. Laureen Franklin! Mrs. Laureen is incredibly patient, positive, and helpful. She does an amazing job of interacting with my daughter, pushing her to try new things, and giving both my daughter and me the tools that we need to help her be successful. She has provided me with abundant resources to set us up for success at home, and has equipped me with a wealth of information as my husband and I learn how to navigate my daughter's needs. We would be so lost without Mrs. Laureen! Huge thanks to everyone at KIDS Therapy for all of the hard work and love that they pour into our kids. read more

K.I.D.S Therapy Associates, is hands down the best therapy center where everything is offered in one center. The therapist are excellent. My son has a rare medical condition and his therapists took the time to learn more about it and join groups that could support them in helping my child. Courtney (the office manager) is amazing and so easy to talk to and understands the stress of having a child with a disability. I recommend K.I.D.S Therapy to everyone who has a child that needs OT, PT, or Speech therapy. read more

K.I.D.S. Therapy Associates - The waiting room. - Speech Therapists Near Me - San Diego, California

My son has been going here for about 7 months now and the staff (in particular Ms. Katie) is absolutely fabulous with my very headstrong two year old. He has learned so much and very much enjoys going to speech every week. She is so patient with his outbursts and we are so grateful for the referral here It's about a 30 minute drive to this location but the transit is so worth it for him to work with her. They also have tele-health available which is crucial for those last minute colds that pop up read more

So incredibly dissappointed with this place. They had me send in all of my authorizations and Dr. Letter telling me they take my insurance. I spent a lot of time gathering information they requested. then I had to call three times for somebody to talk to me about scheduling my daughter speech evaluation and when I finally get the girl on the phone two days later she tells me they don't take my insurance. I wouldn't waste your time here this place has gone downhill they used to be great. read more

Some of the teachers are AWFUL. We met with 3 different ones before we found one that we really liked. For a place that caters to children, some of them make me wonder if they have ever even seen a child, let alone interacted with them... The first teacher was by far the worst, and of course she was the one assessing my child. She starts by coming in very late and getting right in my toddler's face and talking down to him, using that stupid patronizing "if I try to sound like a little girl, maybe we will connect" voice. But she got right up in his face to do it, so he responds by shoving her - which he has never done before, but since I wanted to shove her too... She goes to assess him for behavioral or learning disabilities by putting some toys out and telling him to do things that she wanted. First she puts out a weird plastic sealed "pitcher" thing that looks somewhat like one of those old espresso makers and tells him to pour her some water. But he is completely confused because it barely looks like a pitcher, and even though we can ask him at the house to grab a cup, get some water out of our water dispenser, and bring it back and he'll do it, he was confused and didn't do it. Then she puts out some colorful block/cubes and tells him to put "a piece of ice" in each glass, but he wants to stack the blocks because blocks are pretty much his favorite toy in the world and she deducts more points because he "isn't doing what she is instructing". She eventually writes that her assessment is that he needs to get tested for autism because of his lack of interest resulting in her having to stop the assessment. Because a 3 year old didn't want to follow some confusing commands by someone treating him like an idiot... When we finally found a teacher who didn't use the stupid baby voice, one he actually liked and connected with, he opened up and started talking and sharing more so we are happy with how his speech skills are progressing. Overall, some teachers are great, and some suck. So try to find a good one and then stick with the same routine. read more

I cannot say enough AMAZING things about this therapy center!! My daughter receives speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy here and each of her therapists are absolutely phenomenal! Each one of them have connected with my daughter and have achieved amazing results with her. The therapists communicate between the three of them to make sure that my daughter is getting the best from each session. I have attended multiple therapy centers and this one far surpasses all that I have been to. I highly recommend them! read more

If you child is on the autistic spectrum DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE!!! These therapist have little to no patience and understanding for this very challenging space. They are the WORST with communication with other theraphy groups with your child. It has become very clear to me that they don't truly care about their cases and only are in this for punching-in a clock and collecting a insurance check. My level of disappointment leaves me speechless. read more

I have to update my review. Long story short- we have gone here for close to 2 years straight but had a change is our insurance provider recently. We had been getting 1 hour sessions twice a week all this time but suddenly with our new insurance they would only allow us to do 30 minute sessions and told me flat out that they do it this way because billing this carrier is a nightmare. I talked to 2 different people here and no one would budge so we left. They are willing to put profit over the treatment of a child. Of course they tried to back pedal out of this statement but it's true. I was so upset. read more

I was refer to this place by my insurance provider... beyond greedy! A few times they try to charge me 110.00 dollars... My 3 year old is on the spectrum so in his medical record he has a sleep disorder (in which Kids Therapy) was aware a few times.... still threaten to charge me because my child fell asleep and was unable to attend the session... the last time my 3 year old attended therapy (even tho he fell asleep in the car on the way there) I woke him up still trying to get him to participate and instead he was brought to me with a big knock on his forehead... fell because how tired he was smh... Just recent due to COVID we did telehealth and during one of the sessions the video call dropped (bad reception) I emailed the therapist advising what happened and attempt to connect again... never got connected with the therapist never replied to my email also... but once again I received a letter that they are charging me for the lost connection.... this place is a joke! Will be looking elsewhere smh read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! My daughter had ZERO words when she started just over a year ago, and now, she has at least 75 words! Her speech therapist works very well with her, and I cannot believe how much progress my daughter has made. It means so much to me because I hear a lot about some children who have autism, who still have no words...so hearing my daughter label things, or request for simple things means a whole lot. It's a great start. Now, I can tell that the speech therapist is really focused on really making the speech become functional for my daughter. My daugher's occupational therapist is just as great. They make different obstacles for her every week, which is fun. She really explained things to me in a way that I can really understand, and where things finally made sense for me. I didn't know what kind of sensory problems my daughter had, or how to help her with it, and now I know a lot more. I love how they focus on all my daugher's areas of need. I would never leave this place!!! read more

Friendly staff and location is less than 5 mins from our house. Therapist are very patient with our daughter. Give us assignments on what to focus regarding our daughters improvement. Only problem is scheduling could be more challenging specially if you have set days off and they want you to stick to one therapist. Overall i would recommend it to everyone read more

If your child is referred to PT, I truly think that it makes a difference to go somewhere that specializes in kids. There are tons of options in San Diego who treat both adults and kids, but few who just see kids. We had a good experience at another place, not great, but when we needed additional PT I looked around for another option and am so glad that I discovered Kids Therapy Associates. The facility is awesome, it's like an indoor playground! My daughter loves going to PT, there are so many fun things for her to play with while she is there, she doesn't even realize that she's doing exercises while she's there. The 3 Physical Therapists who we have seen have all been fantastic. All of them are just really great people, who are also highly qualified and great at what they do! They take the time to get to know your child, we received an extremely detailed assessment summary that was pages long after our first visit. This was extremely helpful, as it can be hard to remember everything discussed during an hour long session. I really feel like they've take the time to develop a plan specific to each child's needs. They've given me fantastic suggestions of things that I can work on at home, and are always very positive and encouraging. I'm really thankful that we found Kids Therapy and have seen so much improvement since we started going there! read more

We've been coming here once a week for over 2 months and absolutely love it. The staff is great, my son has improved and he loves to come here. I highly recommend this facility. read more

K.I.D.S. Therapy Associates - Speech Therapists Near Me - San Diego, California

Watch us for no show fees that are never agreed upon. 82.50 per appointment, even if you call and cancel. Then they'll come after you like a collections agency. Oh and continue to harass you after you've paid said no show fee. Any and all benefits this place has to offer can be gleamed from the internet, so save yourself the trouble, time and money. Invest directly in your children, instead throwing it away at this place that is clearly only in it for the money. read more

We have been coming here for over a year for my son OT and everyone at this facility is amazing. They are so caring and helpful in every way. I couldn't imagine taking my guy anywhere else. He has made such growth here. read more

My daughter's speech has improved so much from coming here once a week. Lara has been fantastic. She is so patient and nice with her. I highly reccomend Kids Therapy! read more

We were coming to this place for a few months, the staff seems friendly, but they lack experience. If you are not comfortable to do what they tell you, or disagree with their suggestions, they flat out tell you why are you asking them if you are not going to follow their instructions. The therapist told me if I want change I have to make change. So I did, found a different provider. If the therapists and parents can't get on the same page, there will be no progress. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this place. I usually do tons of research before selecting a somewhere like this, but I kind of found this one on accident. After my first phone call, I knew they were amazing. The office staff go above and beyond to help navigate the insurance/referral system. They are also warm, kind and knowledgeable. Every single interaction I have had over the phone or in person has been nothing but positive! I truly believe the best possible speech and occupational therapists (Lara and Megan) we're hand picked for my little guy. I see improvement after every session. The therapists make me feel like they truly care about my son's wellbeing. They are invested in his progress and it shows. It is unfortunate that we won't get a chance to grow up with KIDS therapy, as we are moving soon, yet they still give their all at every session. I will never be able to thank them enough for all the ways they helped us in the early days of diagnostic testing, receiving the diagnoses and implementing appropriate therapies. It means everything to me. read more

We did not have a good experience here. They didn't turn in the paperwork to the insurance a couple times, so we had a small lapse in sessions when this happened. There were also a few times they had conference calls on speaker phone and would ask us to leave the waiting room because they needed everything very quiet while they were having their meeting on the phone, so we had to wait outside. I don't think they have staff trained in behaviors because they could not handle my five year old special needs child, and turned him away because they said he was too hard to handle. read more

I really like Kids Therapy. They offer under-developing children language/speech therapy and occupational therapy. They have a great office with great materials for the kids. Office staff is top notch. The therapist are all great. read more

My 2 year old has been going to speech therapy here for almost a year now. There are some improvements every time we come here. Still more work to do. Couldn't be happier with all the staff there. So friendly and kind. read more

Thus far has been a disaster trying to get scheduled. Finally had the evaluation, which was great, one month later I can't get therapy started. Also, my pediatrician does not have the official evaluation paperwork. It does not matter if it is a ​great therapy if you can't receive it. I am a nurse practitioner and I have been disappointed​ with their process. read more

Robyn, our physical therapist, is dedicated, knowledgeable and flexible. She makes her sessions fun and engaging for our granddaughter.

We started my daughter in PT through Rady Children's when she was 13 months old, and it was horrible. She hated it, and they didn't have patience with her. We switched to KIDS Therapy, and her therapist, Hope has been incredible. My daughter looks forward to going every week. The staff is friendly and informative. We love this place! I should also mention how much my daughter has progressed during PT and how knowledgeable Hope is. She really knows her stuff. read more

We've had great experiences with all the therapists here. They take the time after each session to communicate what needs to be done between appointments in order for our son to progress to meet his goals. Our son has benefited greatly from their expertise in speech, physical and occupational therapy. read more

Best speech therapy ever! My sons therapist Breea L is amazing with him. He is using more words and loving to go to speech :) The staff is professional and wonderful. He really lights up and uses his words more, it has made a positive difference in my sons life. Very Greatful to have found this place, and Breea. read more

Our son received speech for about six months with Elyse and Morgan. Both were great with him and they made him live speech. Even though he saw two therapists it felt seamless. We moved and had to switch to a different place, but they were great about getting reports over to our new place. Regarding scheduling, they were busy but worked with us to find times when our son would be at his best. If we lived closer I would continue to use them. read more

Therapy services provided by this place are the worst. The therapists are young, inexperienced, and do not fully involve parents in therapies. Often you get substitute therapists without notice. Other times they have a student or training therapist tag along in the session without asking for parent's permission. That's probably why they don't encourage parents to come join in the sessions which are behind closed doors. The office staff are unprofessional in that sessions are sometimes cancelled on the day of service, just a few hours before a session. The front office staff seem to care about collecting fees. Do not take your children here! read more

My two children have been coming to KIDS Therapy since 2011. We have received PT, OT & Speech here with numerous different therapists and have loved them all. The staff is professional, qualified and genuinely care about the kids they treat. The office staff is stellar. I have two children with special needs and scheduling can be a nightmare. The office staff has gone above and beyond to continually provide appointment times that work with our ever changing schedules. Both of my children have made tremendous gains since we started coming to KIDS and I highly attribute this to their caring, knowledgeable therapists. We have received some of these services else where over the years and they pale in comparison. Recently we ran into insurance issues, and Sheri the owner in addition to the office staff stepped up to help me resolve it quickly. I cannot say enough good things about this place. They are the best!!! read more
