    This review focuses on the operations of the Behavior Department at OCSS, under the direction of the owner, Elizabeth M. ABA Department: Our family has been with OCSS for six years. We were recently informed--via a 30 day notice--that as of 02/13/2026, the ABA Department will only provide services to children 10 years old and under. There was no prior discussion, warning, or indication that our child would eventually age out of their ABA services. The discontinuation was handled abruptly and felt very much like a cold turkey decision. While I appreciate the organization's honesty in acknowledging its lack of competency (staffing configuration, implementation model, and clinical environment) to effectively serve children over age 10--and their decision not to "bite off more than they can chew"--the execution was unprofessional and lacking compassion. In reality, the waitlist for ABA services elsewhere is not 30 days, but closer to 6 months to a year. A lapse in ABA services for that length of time can be detrimental to a child's physical and emotional well being and significantly increase the risk of regression. Billing: OCSS has outsourced billing to a third party company, and unfortunately, data integrity has been inconsistent. If you stay vigilant--reviewing every charge and checking all EOBs (Explanations of Benefits) through your insurance--you may be fine. However, anyone who takes the time to carefully review claims may uncover discrepancies. I have personally received a refund check in the past, and I am currently disputing the last 18 months of billing charges to correct the records. Other Departments: Our experience with Speech Therapy (ST) and Occupational Therapy (OT) has been more positive. Billing for these departments is more straightforward, with less room for errors. For now, my child will continue with Speech Therapy via telehealth, as he enjoys and responds well to his therapist. Summary: I used to read the lower rated reviews with a grain of salt, choosing to believe in the best of people. After our overall experience, however, I can understand where those reviews are coming from and see some truth in them. Hence, I am filing a formal grievance against OCSS in the hope that this feedback encourages meaningful reflection on their business operations. My intent is not only to share our experience, but also to promote improvements in communication, compassion, and continuity of care for other families navigating similar challenges. Closing: Things happen for a reason. When one door closes, another opens. In hindsight, I'm glad OCSS forced us to look elsewhere. We have since found new providers whose billing is prompt, transparent, and honest, and whose communication is respectful and consistent. Best of luck to all parents navigating this journey. Feel free to message me if you would like suggestions.

I started my son the summer of 2021 at the age of 3. He was behind on speech development, and it was really difficult for anyone other than me to understand what he was saying -which made him be extra shy around anyone new because they'd ask him to repeat what he was saying to try to understand. With him getting ready to start school (Pre-K) in the Fall I really wanted him to feel more confident speaking up and to be understood. Molly has worked wonders. She was able to get my son to open up and really get into his sessions (he was a pretty shy boy) and has made a huge impact on my sons speech. I was so much more comfortable with him starting pre-k because I knew he could be understood. He has been thriving at school, and I attribute a ton of that to Molly. She still works with us, does a great job at periodically doing tests and giving us an update on where he is landing in comparison to his age group. My son loves "Miss Molly" and looks forward to their sessions. She finds ways to keep things fresh with new games and ways to incorporate their speech work. I highly recommend Molly! She is punctual, great communicator, and makes it really easy to work with her (despite sometimes crazy schedules). Thank you Molly!!

    Jessica is amazing and we are so grateful for her and the time she spent with our daughter. Our…read moredaughter was diagnosed as a "late talker." Her receptive speech was in the normal range, but her expressive speech was delayed. At two years old, our daughter was saying only about 5 words. We discussed speech therapy with her pediatrician at her 18 month well check, then again at her 2 year well check. When we were told that she should have been saying at least 50 words by 24 months, we knew that speech therapy was necessary. I contacted Jessica to start the process, and during our first phone conversation, I knew she was the right choice for our daughter. Jessica was extremely patient. She took time with me explaining the process of speech therapy, going over options, and overall, easing my mind about everything. After the initial evaluation, Jessica was able to give us a diagnosis, an overall plan, and an estimated timetable for therapy. Our daughter had sessions with Jessica for about 5 months. Jessica was very flexible with our family's schedule. She came to our home, as well as my parents' home, as they took care of our daughter a few days a week. Jessica immediately bonded with our daughter. She would sit with her on the floor and interact with her in a very calm and patient manner. Our daughter always thought that she and Jessica were just playing. She loved the games they played and the activities they did together. She looked forward to her visits every week. Jessica involved all family members in the therapy process, giving us tools to be able to work with our daughter on skills in our everyday life. She provided us with strategies to be able to reinforce what she had been working on with our daughter. All the tactics and routines that were part of her therapy plan were made known to everyone, and this approach, we truly believe, hastened her development of speech. We saw improvements in our daughter's expressive speech very quickly. Not only was she saying new words, her overall demeanor changed. Before she started speech therapy, she would get easily frustrated, as it was difficult for her to communicate with us. As her speech developed and she was able to express herself more to the people in her life, she became more content and calm. We are so grateful for Jessica and highly recommend her if you are looking for a speech therapist!

It's hard to see your child struggle or recognize a delay with them, but Jessica was very sensitive and helpful and that made the whole process a great experience. We were lucky and he only needed therapy for a couple of months but we will miss her and will be back if he shows any signs of a delay again. Thank you so much Jessica!

Her name begins and ends with R, and she began to avoid saying her name when introducing herself or when people would ask her name. This broke my heart and solidified the need to seek speech therapy. She began therapy in February 2024 with Mikayla, and by October/November she had made drastic improvements in the ability to say R's but the habit of saying R sounds the old way was hard to break. It is now January 2025 and our insurance has changed so she is no longer able to attend therapy, but I am so happy to report that she has now mostly broken the habit of saying R's the old way all on her own without reminders, and most importantly can confidently say her own name.

Natalie Waldman completely eased my fears (apparently a stutter is very common at this age), but more than that, she really listened.

It didn't feel clinical or like a cookie cutter approach. It felt like talking to a friend. She was also great with my child, who took to her right away and is still talking about "Miss Natalie."
