The therapists and front office staff deserve five stars. Leadership's approach to families does…read morenot. As a parent of twins with developmental disabilities, I understand the importance of attendance. I also understand the reality of managing multiple therapies, medical appointments, school meetings, and life. Over time, repeated conversations about missed appointments, attendance reminders, and signing attendance acknowledgments left me feeling judged instead of supported. The final straw was accidentally leaving one week off a summer scheduling form, which led to another conversation about attendance. It wasn't about that one incident--it was the realization that this philosophy simply doesn't align with how I believe families of children with additional needs should be treated. The clinicians were wonderful, and the front desk staff were always professional and kind. My disappointment lies with leadership and the culture created by these policies. Families seeking pediatric therapy need partnership, empathy, and flexibility. Unfortunately, that wasn't our experience, and we chose to take our children elsewhere.

I have to update my review as things have gone downhill. We had a rough start with Childs Play with…read morefrequent turnover with their SLPs made it difficult to find a good match for my daughter. We finally got a good match and they "switched departments". Then they started saying I had to move my time due to scheduling conflicts even though we had waited 2 years to get the time slot we had. We got moved with a new SLP and I complained that they kept canceling and rescheduling. I can only assume they were double booking so instead of taking accountability for their poor planning, they decided to discontinue services simply because i advocated for my daughter. They dont seem to care about the children, they just want their paycheck

I'm so thankful that my mom is at La Casa Via Transitional Care Center. As a daughter, having your…read moremom in a nursing facility can be very difficult, but the staff here have given my family so much peace of mind. Everyone has been incredibly kind, attentive, and compassionate toward my mom. They are very responsive to her needs, and I truly appreciate the effort they make to care for her and help with transportation to her doctor appointments. What means the most to me is that my mom loves it there. She feels comfortable and cared for, and that is priceless to our family. I'm very grateful to everyone at La Casa Via for the kindness and care they show my mom. Thank you for treating her with such warmth and compassion. I would absolutely recommend La Casa Via to families looking for a caring environment for their loved one.

A special thank you to our Case Manager, Victoria, who guided us through each step of this process with compassion and professionalism. My husband was fortunate to work with a dedicated Physical Therapy & Occupational Therapy team led by Charlene. Through their dedication, patience and persistence, he was able to sit up, stand and walk - things he couldn't do when we first arrived. With their help my husband was accepted into the Acute Rehabilitation Unit. An amazing blessing! We spent a month and a half with this wonderful group, during that time the nursing staff, CNAs and executives Cam & Tim were consistently welcoming and helpful. It felt like a family setting. We owe this team so much. God bless and keep you all!

We highly recommend Debra and PlaySpace Therapy. We are so glad we found her. Debra has been an…read moreimportant part of my son's success. She has worked with him on many levels and is always very attuned to his energy, supporting him in just the right way so he can be and feel successful. The work they do at PlaySpace looks so fun my other children asked if they, too, can have OT. But its not just fun, Debra gets results! Our school OT complemented her work saying she could see the difference Debra was making shining through. I asked my son to give Debra a yelp review too. He says: Debra is really good. She never gets mad at you when you make a mistake. She just helps you along with really hard stuff until you've done it. She has a bean pit. You'll love it.

My son, who is on the autism spectrum, has been receiving OT at PlaySpace for about two years now…read more We have seen both Debra and Karin, and I can tell you they are both truly fantastic. Debra and Karin are very knowledgeable, experienced, and caring therapists, who are exceptionally good at making OT fun and something my son gets excited about going to. Over the course of our time with them, my son has developed out of his repetitive behaviors, his sensory issues have diminished significantly, and as a result, his ability to learn, attend, communicate, and engage socially have improved quite dramatically. I really credit Debra and Karin and the tools they have given us to help him at home, for this transformation. Debra has also been a helpful part of our IEP process and made important recommendations to the team supporting him in school. I highly recommend PlaySpace to anyone who is looking for an excellent OT in the area.

The kids will tremendously benefit from these AMAZING services being offered!!

I'm familiar with their curriculum and teaching style so I became a proponent of their establishment and mission statement. You'll find other places trying to emulate their curriculum but because their curriculum is trademarked, nothing compares. Also, Ross and Brian are both OTs, so they're very knowledgeable in anatomy and physiology -- meaning, they understand the human body and its mechanisms. My son is now a Sponge and I see significant improvements with his fine and gross motor skills including but not limited to handwriting and cutting. He is ergonomically holding pens/pencils and scissors properly. Also he's got excellent trunk control --way better than mine! I highly recommend PMP. So worth every penny. Jordan loves attending his class and he said he looks forward to being promoted to a Builder and then a Heavylifter one day!!
