He pointed me towards a local organization that did adult diagnosis, but he also encouraged me to navigate Kaiser Permanente's process since that was my health insurance provider. I successfully navigated Kaiser's process which is terrible if you're neurodivergent, but ultimately their Psychiatric team diagnosed me with ASD. I'm learning so much about myself, and thank Dave for the help he gave!

This organization provides social services and supplies necessary outreach to both educate and advocate in the defense of our youth. Being non-profit, they work on your pre-agreed upon donations.

Since their time here, I can see huge changes within our entire family. Thanks to SASSNA, my grandchildren will have a better life growing up with this disability than I did. Thank you, again! 01/25

Our therapist is Ms. Maggie, but it is nice that the other therapist know my son and welcome him in as well. It is just a really warm, caring environment. We love it!

Let this review be a cautionary tale for you, the parent who is reading this and probably thinking…read moreof enrolling their child in ABA services at SAS. I'll try to make this brief and give only the facts, so that you can decide for yourself if this is the kind of program and the type of business that you want your child to be part of. On 1/25/23, at approximately 6:00 pm, my wife was on her way to pick up our daughter from SAS. She called and informed them that she was running a little late, due to a traffic accident and would be there as soon as she could. SAS immediately contacted me to ask if I could pick up our daughter instead, as they were closing and could not wait any longer. I told them that I could not, as I was working and reminded them my wife had called and was already on her way. I was met initially with silence, then reception informed me sternly that we would need a parent training session with the director, Dr. Katherine Buchanan before we could even bring our daughter back in for her therapy. My wife picked up our daughter at SAS at 6:15 pm. The following morning, I called SAS to find out why we needed a parent training session due to ONE late pickup. This was the only instance of a late pickup we ever had. Reception had only one response: 'Dr. Kat (Katherine Buchanan) needs to have a parent training session with you.' 'Why?' I asked, I continued to get the same response. I even asked if I could simply speak to Dr. Kat over the phone to try and smooth things out and decipher why this drastic measure was imposed upon us. No luck. Reception informed us that our daughter's services would be paused for 2 weeks, due to this one minor instance of picking our daughter up 15 minutes late. We tried several times to speak to Dr. Kat in person over the phone, but access was blocked by reception every time we called. We then started communicating with Dr. Kat via email. We mentioned to her that without any phone communication from her, we lose trust. We've had phone conferences with her before and we were confused as to why we can't do this again. We asked if there was another reason beyond picking up our daughter 15 minutes late that we have to have a parent meeting. Nothing more was said other than we needed to have a parent training session. Sounds ridiculous, right? It gets better. Previous to this, we inquired via email about a parent training portal that we could have access to, in order to stay on track with our daughter's progress. We never got a response to that. We also asked for a policy and procedures list and that was also met with silence. We could have benefited with a treatment plan, being shared to manage everyone's expectations. The education system uses an IEP, Alta Regional, uses an IPP. Goals are stated and steps are listed out as to how the goals will be achieved. The family signs this document and it is distributed so that all parties are on the same page. We received none of this from SAS. Due to the complete lack of communication, lack of trust and unprofessionalism, we decided to pull our daughter out of the ABA program at SAS, after only attending there for 7 WEEKS. To sum it all up: We felt like we were being aggressively penalized for something that happened one single time, without any warning. A late pickup by 15 minutes. Reception blocks access to the director, thus resulting in the breakdown of communication. Things like a treatment plan, parent training portal, policy and procedures were NEVER given to us. Even after asking for them several times. The therapists actually here are super sweet, but management is deplorable. This was our experience.

We waited one month to see a speech therapist for my 2 year old son at TES. When we called we were…read moretold that we would get an appointment the next week, but a day before the scheduled appointment, we were told we had to wait for another month for the first appointment. We said fine and saw the speech therapist on 11/2. After ONE session, we were notified that the speech therapist was leaving TES so no more sessions for my son. Naturally I was not happy with them wasting all this precious time for my two year old. I urged them to notify my insurance as soon as possible that they had discharged my son so we can find him a new speech therapist that my insurance would pay for. Another month later, insurance company told me they heard no word from TES. Still no speech therapy for my two year old as of today. I called TES and obviously they are avoiding my phone calls (because my husband called from an anonymous number and they picked up right away). I'm sure many kids had a good experience with TES but you just never know if your experience would end up like mine if you choose them.

Been doing ABA with him for 13 years and we have had a few agencies that were so unprofessional so anoying when it comes to issus no parent has the time for, like billing issues, waitng lists, green BI's non supportive team and lets not talk about the turn around of staff which means your child has to start all over again. i have seen it all BUT the good news is if you are reaing this that means you are possibly looking for a new company for your little...

I was so sick of searchig and not knowing what I was looking when it came to ABA years ago I appled and went to work for a few companies to get a birds eye view and just as I suspected 9 out of 10 had only one end goal"" to milk your insurance"" with under trained staff who had no skills come to your home and waste your time and more importlty your childss window of learning. I have given so many hours and so much money to so many companies not knowing if they new what they were doing if it wouold beneit my son, my pride and joy and some small gains were made but too much time was lost along the way... so I emplore you as a parent who obvioulsy cares to take time to read this long revivew "" TRY TES" you will not be disapointed.
