I started my son here in the Winter of 2019. We were unsatisfied with the preschool program that he…read morewas in so we looked around to see if there was a place that would offer ABA therapy and be full-time as his preschool was part-time and often didn't have class due to administrative days and what not which was really frustrating. There aren't that many ABA centers that provide full day services and when I visited some of them they looked so cold and clinical. When I visited Ally I got a better, more personalized feeling since it was more open and you would see kids playing. They have great communication and I can always speak to the BCBA when I need to and the teachers are great. Additionally, when most preschools/day care centers were closed early on and often stayed closed in the pandemic, they were only briefly closed and were able to go back to providing in-home services which was great since as we all know that the pandemic has had a negative impact on kids with ASD due to lack of available/in person services. They have also been taking precautions during the Pandemic which is great. Although my son got off to a rocky start due to the new environment and change in schedule (to be expected with a kid with ASD), with each day we saw improvement. Over the past two years he has been at the center, he has become a more social, active, talkative little boy. We were sad to leave this past fall because we had such a great experience, but he has been thriving in kindergarten due to the foundation that was built at Ally. All in all this is a great place and if you're looking for quality ABA center, Ally Behavior Centers is the way to go.

In particular Diane (Dianna), is the most stunningly condescending humans I've ever met. Group therapy is run by non- licensed staff and multiple people, multiple times were given the incorrect medication. Again, no one is legally authorized to dispense these medications to begin with. Very sad to live in one of the wealthiest areas in the world and this care that is given. If we want to make a change in the mental system and how people are cared for, places like should be shut down. In addition four homeless people left on the same day with no place to go but knew it would be healthier to leave the toxic environment.

Ms. Olatunde is truly brilliant! and, the most talented writer I know. And, best of all she speaks…read morethe language of "academia." Most importantly, she has assisted me over many years with every fellowship and university application I've ever written. She aided me in restructuring these important essays to throw away the fat and focus on just the meat. Ms. Olatunde gives incredible feedback and gently guides you towards those areas you need to focus on. And, with Ms. Olatunde's help I achieved success in my undergraduate and graduate school entrance essays, my fellowship essays, including various other graduate schools I applied to. As Ms. Olatunde aided me in writing a number of essays to different schools her assistance afforded me with options to choose and select from multiple schools. As a result, I have a B.A. from the University of California and an M.F.A. from a film conservatory. Her talents, skills, and assistance are unmatched by others. She has aided not just me over the years but also all four of my siblings--all of whom obtained graduate or post graduate degrees! Moreover, she continues to assist me throughout my career with editing technical writing from time to time. I cannot endorse Ms. Olatunde enough! You will obtain success and a plethora of guidance, and that in and of itself is worth its weight in gold!

I spoke with the manager there who gave me Julian Shapiro's information ( he apparently runs Motion Education ) asked me to contact him and assured me he would call back.
