I felt a lot better about going into art as a field after coming here. My few gripes: - Not having dorms SUCKS. - Parking in the new building costs something like 300$ a term?

Tova is a fantastic IEP advocate and educational consultant. She kindly advised me when we were…read moreseeking to move to LA on a free consultation and then proceeded to send me referrals and information via email. She has extensive, hands on experience as both an advocate and as a parent of children who are twice exceptional/have disparate special needs. She is also directly connected to a special education law firm and works in tandem with this separate legal organization. She boasts a PhD, is a parent who understands the struggles and journey herself, and provides comprehensive/exceptional services affordably. I have spoken with many IEP advocates and she charges a much more reasonable fee. Given how expensive and stressful the IEP/504 process can be-it helps to have an excellent advocate who still extends her services with professionalism & compassion without compounding the financial stress of advocating for your child's educational/other needs. She has created innovative school curricula for CA and FL schools, has trained teachers on supporting neurodiverse students, and supports you throughout this complicated landmine/process. She is also incredibly sweet and responsive to emails and phone calls/texts. If your issue is more complex and requires legal expertise-she has a direct collaborative relationship with a special education attorney, many friends in the special education field, and sends referrals to you regarding other parents' and their experiences. Highly recommended!

We had been spending countless hours trying to get the district to follow our son's IEP, provide accommodations, and complete a long overdue triennial. Tova stepped in to help push the district to a resolution that we were satisfied with. She is an active listener, an empathetic supporter, a fierce advocate, and an ethical professional. Tova also works closely with a lawyer, and together they have been helping us navigate the legal system for the next steps to hold the district accountable. If you are having issues with an IEP, I highly recommend Tova to help you get it resolved successfully.

I have come to realize the firm, in Mission Hills, controlled by the CEO/BCBA lacks an 'inspired…read moregrowth' in company culture and inability to provide a healthy work environment. This specific firm seems to abide by social cliques and favoritism, making it difficult to collaborate as a team and move up in positions. The lack of respect, synergy, and compassion has hemorrhaged quality workers. Their lack of staff (BTs/BCBA) is due to: Abrupt schedule changes, extensively watching you work through cameras, hostile training, CEO/BCBA shifting blame to BTs, and inability to give a WELL DESERVED promotion. There is a lot of restraints/holds that are not documented or shared. CEO/BCBA has dual relationships with certain clients and is NOT proactive with their clients. If you agree with how they treat their employees, imagine the impact they have with your child. They have withheld information to parents about what happens in the workplace, and has had the police called on them to IMMEDIATELY share a report to insurance and to parents. Look somewhere else! This forced plenty of Behavioral Technicians to spread their ethics very wide, while simultaneously being gaslighted, micromanaged, and exploited. This is a toxic, passive aggressive, workplace that does not hold empathy for their employees. You will exhaust your efforts working alongside the incompetent CEO/BCBA. The micromanagement and dishonesty due to their lack of mentorship has driven many people out of the company. Here's a piece of advice: Treat ALL of your colleagues with kindness, they are the backbone of your company. Turn your attention to your clients best interests and continually build rapport. Don't bite off more than you can chew! Projection is uncanny in the workplace.

Where do I start? My son (4 at the time) would not interact with us very much, would speak less…read morethan 20 words, and had several violent outbursts when we tried to change any activity or if his iPad would "die". When Big Solutions came into our lives we were hesitant because these were strangers who were going to socialize with our son and as parents we were scared of negative outcomes. Julian's journey began with his initial assessment and eventually to in home therapy. He was assigned 3 therapists including 1 supervisor. They (Ari, Claudia, Joy, & Paulina) are blessings!!! They connected with Julian but also became our teachers! They helped all of us with Julian's needs and how to understand what he was seeking, whether it be physical or emotional. As a parent with a child with autism, sometimes it's too easy to become frustrated and lose hope in any progress they may not meet. An example was my son's eloping. His father and I had no clue how to predict it or manage it. We would all take excursions to our local mall and his therapists were there with us the entire time. We learned to predict when he would run off, and why. He was seeking attention and sometimes just over stimulation so we learned to ask him to use verbal and non verbal cues of where he wants to go. Fast forward to three weeks ago while visiting an outlet shopping center (yes we wore masks) and we practiced all of those steps and he didn't elope! Had it not been for Big Solutions I would not see us going out with much ease as we have been. This is an agency that turned our life around and became part of our family while maintaining their professionalism. Big Solutions ENTIRE staff, from scheduling to in home, were amazing and extremely accommodating. They consistently helped Julian with communicating in various ways and adjusting to unexpected changes that happened every day. Big Solutions also helped us as parents in not give up and letting frustration and fear run our lives. They taught us so much and how to cope with unexpected outbursts and helping our son focus on his school. We were definitely lost in the ASD world and Big Solutions led us to a place where consistency, patience, and goals were good starting points for any situation. Thank you Big Solutions!
