Am I really the first?…read more My son sees Ms. Lindsay and Ms. Magdelena for OT and Speech. He used to see Jo Ann until the scheduling didn't work out. They have two locations: Annandale and McLean. We've been to both. The Annandale location is closer to us to drive to from Loudoun County, although I prefer the McLean location...because there are more things to do while waiting. Annandale not so much, you have to sit put. We've been very very happy with Skill Builders and my son gets excited to see his therapists each visit. I mean he runs happy from the car to the office and can't wait, especially for Ms. Lindsay for OT. We drive an hour each way from the next county over just to come here.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Skill Builders. Our family has used Skill Builders for…read moreover 7 years from our first child with speech and language delay to our children diagnosed with Autism. Cari is the nicest person you will ever meet. She advocates for all her clients and goes that extra mile to match your child with the perfect therapist. It always helps that she hires only the best therapists in Northern VA. Everyone at Skill Builders is amazing and we owe so much to the company and their therapists. Thank you for always being there for our family and helping all our children being their best selves! My children still talk about how they miss Mrs. Melissa and Mrs. Fern! My daughter adores Ms. Katie and it's the best day of her week when she gets to go to Skill Builders. Literally dances her way into the office singing her " Im going to see Ms Katie" song! We love Cari and she really advocates for our children not only in the office but in our community of special needs children. You want a pro like Cari on your side and you see this is more than just a job for her. I would trust Cari with my life! Skill Builders has transformed my children and our family and I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for us!

I have been coming here for post-op speech therapy for well over a month now. The place is…read moreconveniently located inside INOVA Fairfax hospital and is accessible via the Blue Entrance. And yes, they offer validated parking, whoop whoop. The ladies at the reception desk are very warm and welcoming as well as very accommodating with whatever your needs are. Whether I have dealt with them face to face or on the phone, they are always super pleasant, polite and helpful. The waiting room is set up to occupy both kiddos and adults alike so there is something to keep everyone busy for the incredible and unheard-of super short wait before you are seen by your therapist. Can I get an AMEN to that!!! I have been seeing Susan Dixon, MS, CCC-SLP aka "Susie" and she is soooooo wonderful. She put me right at ease and was super empathetic with what all I had gone through and was going to continue to go through. Even though I often (ok always, lol) feel like an idiot doing the exercises required for the therapy and I joked that I don't like it, she is so much fun that you can't help but feel comfortable and cared for in her very capable hands. (I also pray there is no hidden camera somewhere catching my goofball self in action, JK!) The offices are very clean and tidy and they also have a very large room that is fully equipped for physical therapy and they offer both in-patient and out-patient treatment for all their services. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of their rehabilitation services.

We appreciate how honest the therapist was about how she didn't see any underlying concerns with her in this area and was not pushy about continuing therapy sessions. But we did discuss perhaps occupational therapy to help her with feeding for future development. So we booked a few feeding OT sessions with Nadia and my daughter was in love with her from day 1. She was kind, patient and instantly connected with our daughter in trying to pin point the best way to encourage her to open up on how she interacts with food. Would highly recommend.

My son has been attending speech therapy sessions at Fairfax Pediatric Therapy since early January…read more He is almost 9 and has always struggled with his "s," "sh," and "ch" sounds - but we waited to see if he would grow out of it (he didn't). On recommendation of our dentist, we tried some videos to help him with speech, but we were not successful on our own. After a Zoom call with Ariel and Ahmad, the speech therapist, we felt very confident and comfortable with Fairfax Pediatric Therapy. After the first session, my son made huge strides in his "sh" sounds - he was actually able to articulate it correctly, even if it was a struggle. Long story short, as of today (3 months after starting) Finn has met all of his speech goals and no longer needs the services. Both Ahmad and Finn worked hard to make this happen - and in such a short time. I didn't expect progress so fast, to be honest. Not only that - my kiddo actually looked forward to the sessions. Ahmad took the time to get to know his interests - chess and strategy games - and built the sessions around play. When we left today, for the last time, Finn said he was going to miss his friend. We have had the best experience! Thank you.

Although the DC/MD/VA area is saturated with occupational and speech therapists, ECC stands above all others. Our son not only receives quality services from a therapist trained in dealing with young children through adolescents, but ECC's selection of these therapists is incomparable. ECC's therapists are not only up to date in the latest proven methods but are all caring, compassionate individuals who invest in your child. The benefits our son receives through ECC extend far beyond OT services. He's built a relationship with his OT which motivates and inspires him as a person. Our family is truly blessed to have found ECC.

My daughter was given a speech evaluation by Debbie in my home. She was 3 1/2 years old at the…read moretime. The evaluation resulted in my daughter being a year behind with articulating words as she spoke. Debbie's recommendation was for my daughter to get speech therapy at a facility, as my daughter is a real 'wiggle worm'. Debbie recommended a place, but unfortunately my daughter's insurance denied the claim since she did not experience a trauma or birth defect, which caused her delayed speech. In the meantime, Debbie is working with my daughter every week in our home to provide therapy. She does such a FANTASTIC job with my 'wiggle worm' that my daughter gets excited when she knows Debbie is coming and when she arrives. My daughter's speech has definitely improved since Debbie started working with her. Her sentences are longer, she is clearer, and I understand more words when she talks. My daughter even says, "Ms. Debbie says do this or that..." I would definitely recommend Eat, Speak, Play!

Our journey started with a thorough evaluation and a clear, personalized plan to help expand our son's language skills -- and it truly worked. We began seeing improvement within just a few weeks, and now, a little over a year later, the transformation is incredible. Ms. Sonika met our son exactly where he was. She struck the perfect balance in sessions -- warm and flexible, yet firm when needed. She set age-appropriate expectations and boundaries, and gently but consistently encouraged him to reach them week after week. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that speech therapy has changed our son's life. He can now express himself confidently and has the language skills to engage in meaningful conversations with friends and family. We are beyond grateful for Ms. Sonika.
