My daughter tried a SINGLE session of hippatherapy therapy. Yes, she had a rough first session, but…read moreeven the therapist said it's common. Keep in mind my daughter had already done multiple horse back riding sessions through our special needs recreation department. They said they thought the horse was probably also too small after the session. (Not our fault). Fast forward less than a week and we get a call saying she can't participate anymore because of safety. Keep in mind NONE of this was articulated to me after the session. It was "it's okay, lots of kids have a hard first session. We will see you next week". Nope. They won't even try again. If your kid has behavior issues, don't count on hummingbird. Ridiculous experience.

You can tell the people who created the Hummingbird facilities put so much attention to detail into this place. The bright, vibrant colors put everyone in a calm and upbeat mood! Super happy with my son's therapist, Rachel. Huge facility with so many resources. They can even help your child ride a bicycle. They offer aquatics as well programs with horses. Just amazing stuff! They have a really neat gym as well. The minute you walk in the door your mood gets elevated. Such a happy place! My son is here for occupational therapy to help with fine motor skills development. However they offer almost any program you can imagine including talk therapy to help with emotions. Honestly, can't say enough about this facility and this is after our first visit! I was concerned my son was going to be bored and feel like this was work. However, the therapist makes everything fun and enjoyable. My son loves it!

I decided to look for a speech therapist for my 3.5 year old son when we found out from his…read moreteachers that he never spoke at school. We took him get an evaluation done at a large local speech therapy center, but my son literally didn't say a single word for the entire session.  I found Smiling Star and made an evaluation appointment with Miss Micaela. My son was very shy at first, as expected, but very quickly became  comfortable because of how awesome Miss Micaela was with him! The initial assessment revealed that he had many speech deficits, and a major lack of confidence with speaking, which made it even worse. We signed up for weekly sessions with Miss Micaela and in less than 4 months he was caught up to where he should be as far as speech, and had become so much more confident in speaking at school. He also LOVED going to speech therapy. On non-therapy days he would ask to go. And on therapy days he would ask to go back again after dinner. We are so thankful to have found Smiling Star and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a speech therapist!

Now the only problem is.....I can't get him to stop talking!!! My son is now 6 and his speech is fantastic. His preschool teachers said they have never seen someone make that much improvement in such a short time!!!

We worked with Sarah at Little Steps to assess her and develop a treatment plan, and worked toward clearly identified gross motor milestones before progressing to occupational therapy.

We have both really enjoyed working with the therapists at Little Steps and look forward to coming together each week. My daughter has made so much progress over the past year! PT and OT have improved all facets of her life--beyond improvements in motor skills, her behavior and attention have improved at home and in the classroom. She's more comfortable and has better endurance.

We also decided to do an evaluation at my child's school which was easily scheduled. My child's teachers noted how great Erica was- they were also impressed.

It has probably been about half a year now, and we have seen so much progress in his language development. Our son looks forward to his speech sessions and has fun while learning. I love receiving the detailed summary after each session, as well as helpful / relevant assignments that we can print out and work with at home. Erica is engaging, patient, friendly and professional. The activities continue to evolve as our son's language develops, and it's clear that the plan is individualized and personalized to his specific needs. As you know, there is no "one-size-fits-all" plan for these kind of things. We could not be any happier with Lakeview Speech and Language Clinic. If you are looking for a speech therapist for your child, just call up Tracy. She is the best!

My son has been making amazing progress in just the few weeks he has been here than anywhere else.

This place is the most disorganized place I've ever had the displeasure of visiting. I would like…read moreto note that our therapist was perfectly nice. However, after a MONTH of attending, she then informed me that she hadn't seen my daughter exhibit the behavior we were there for in the first place (which basically means I was paying $30 a week for my daughter to play in a ball pit and do the alphabet. Neither of which addresses our reason for being there). Throughout our time there, I made it very clear to all involved that as of August 20th, we would no longer be using them as my daughter would be starting kindergarten, and our time wouldn't work anymore. They offered several times to put me on a waiting list for a weekend time slot, which I declined as we live 45 min away. I had to cancel my daughter's last session and again reiterated that we wouldn't be back due to kindergarten. Well, come August 20th, I was charged $50 for a no show. They claim they had no idea we wouldn't be returning and say I never canceled our future sessions. I spoke to MULTIPLE PEOPLE. No one there communicates. Someone at the front desk even apologized saying they recently changed "some things around" and that things have been a bit "disorganized ". A BIT? So after multiple appeals on my end to get the $50 charge refunded, they simply reply to me, "the charge is valid and will not be waved." (Excellent customer service, right?) I mean they literally rob you. And guess what? After six total weeks there, I never even received a report or ANYTHING on my daughter (despite being told at the end of every session that one was being put together). I still haven't seen anything documenting what was done, observed, NOTHING. I mean they are truly unhelpful, unprofessional, and disrespectful. I have never been this disappointed nor dissatisfied with a professional medical office in my life. Stay as far away as you can.

The owner, Amy, worked with me to get my son in for both therapies on the same scheduled day, and at a time that luckily worked with our crazy schedule. I am SO appreciative of that!! My son really enjoys his OT with Erin and his Speech with Kelsey. Both have been great with my questions. Erin especially has been great with providing me with resources and information regarding OT-based activities and supports. They are currently remodeling their basement area to better accommodate OT/equipment, and I am excited to see the final results! I am very happy that we found private services that works for us.
