The clinic is warm, clean, and welcoming, and every therapist I encountered was not only highly knowledgeable but also genuinely caring. I came in for help with dysphagia, and they provided me with a personalized treatment and home exercise plan that truly made a difference. They regularly checked in with me, making me feel supported every step of the way. I felt seen, heard, and truly cared for throughout my rehabilitation. I highly recommend Talking Tree Therapy for adult speech therapy, swallowing therapy (dysphagia), aphasia, TBI-related therapy, and more. Their professionalism and compassion make a world of difference!

The Harmony Preschool community that Gina has created is precious, safe and nurturing. All the things that I sought out while searching for a preschool. Gina and Gisele have created a garden that is magical and full of adventure, changing from day to day with new activities (including a music class!). I am confident that my son's safety, well being and happiness are top priority with his teachers and the other children at the school. The few months that we have been apart of this community have already influenced our whole family. They are helping us to parent in loving and kind ways, and my son is more confident in his abiliites daily. I am grateful to have found a loving school for my son, where he is modeled, in both action and word, how to be a loving and kind human. Despite having read the negative review, I toured the school and was immediately sure, that this was in fact a safe and loving place- a second home for my son.

Up until recently, we didn't know the brain could lack development in the pathways, which are like roadblocks. And our children developed around those roadblocks. However, science proves we can go back and repair the undeveloped neuro-pathways at any age. I was referred here by a family member who shared about Brain Boost Academy's unique innovative methods which help people who lack certain early neuro-developmental sequences, which affect attention, learning and daily home life. I know how difficult it is to have a bright child that is very over-active like a little tornado with a short-attention span. I couldn't keep up with him and had to keep him busy to keep him out of trouble. I learned that with an evaluation, the deficits could be identified and treated specifically and that it would require a developmental one on one program. Seeing the progress before and after has made me a believer. I saw multiple results of how the program works. I wish Brain Boost Academy was available to everyone everywhere!

We began seeing results about a quarter of the way through his program and he continues to improve each week. I am so thankful that we found Brain Boost!

Sing Lum Elementary is one of Panama Buena Vista Union School District's oldest schools. It was…read morefirst built as a "temporary" school almost 30 years ago. Named for Sing Lum who graduated from Bakersfield High School in 1924. He helped organize the Panama Union School District and was on the first school board in 1944. At the age of 65, Mr. Lum became a competitive runner. He set national and international records by the time he was 70! In 1970, he retired as a farmer from Wasco. He went back to school to get his real estate license. He died in 1994 at the age of 90. I have been at this school for 17 years, 12 of which I have been employed. I have been through three principals and a variety of staff members over the years. I love this school because my children went here and I was always actively involved. It's a great little location right next to Campus Park South. Many students have had many "park days" over the years. This is the last year of the original "temporary" school foundation. Students and staff coming back for the 2016-17 school year will be treated to a brand new school! It's definitely bittersweet for many...leaving so many fond memories behind but also looking forward to a new beginning! I gave 5 stars because all the principals have been amazing over the years. The front office staff is friendly and always helpful, and the teachers are GREAT. If your child is lucky enough to be a Lum Lion, consider yourself lucky!!

So, she has an exceptional understanding of the ins and outs of educational services and therapies that may be best for your child. She also has a unique ability to connect with parents and ease their anxieties about the daunting journey of understanding the IEP process. She holds your hand through the process and has an uncanny ability to hold space for your worries, while gently assuring you of the right strategy/steps forward on how to proceed with your child's school. Her rates are beyond reasonable for the degree of professionalism, insight, and experience she has regarding how best to navigate schools. Not only is she a seasoned and passionate educator-she is a parent of 3 beautiful children who each have an IEP. So, she understands the special needs parenting journey from the inside out. Immediately after our consultation, she wrote me an organized, clear email of our next steps with helpful tips on how to communicate with the school for an important meeting the next day. I spoke to many advocates and Angie strikes the right chord of seeking collaboration and knowing which battles to fight, when, and how to bring people to the table in what is sometimes a contentious dynamic in an IEP team. The IEP can feel so intimidating and overwhelming. You want what's best for your child, and you may feel at a loss on where to start. Or, like us-you may have reached a crossroads and need some expertise to help guide you through the landmines of the IEP process or to your input at the IEP table with someone more agile with this type of complex, loaded communication. I can't thank Angie enough for being so flexible, accommodating, and responsive. She's organized, strategic, insightful, and experienced. Call her!
