I was in need of a speech therapist with some urgency. Not only was Jackie responsive, she did…read morethorough assessments within a three-week turnaround including observation at my child's school. She was also great at educating us parents on strategies we could implement right away and gave us a framework for understanding the recommendations of other speech therapists. Months later, her recommendations still match our hospital's high standards and her techniques have more depth than even the premier hospital-provided speech sessions we've learned from. Her bedside manner was great with both us as adults and our child, and I'm impressed at her ability to adapt to build trust with our child.

We became worried that my son might struggle. He was not speaking at age 2 and though he was using…read moresome sign language, he did not show interest in speaking. Jackie is a natural with children and has what I like to call 'kid magic'- immediately when she first engaged our son in play, he began practicing sounds and new words. His language development was rapid once we implemented the tools Jackie taught us. Jackie is a wonderful teacher and a pleasure to work with. Our son has caught up to his peers and is now thriving in preschool. I highly recommend Jackie to any parent who is looking to support their child's speech development.

My son was diagnosed with ASD and started 16 hours of ABA service with CSLOT since Feb 2016. We are…read morevery happy with the service so we stay with CSLOT until he graduates from the program this month. It is a long journey of more than 5 years. My son has made tremendous progress which was beyond my expectation when we started. Looking back, I just could not use my language to describe how much I appreciate the great service from CSLOT. For most of these five year, Siva has been my son's BCBA. She is a very experienced, keen observer. When she first took in my son, she spent quite some time, observing, engaging with my son, then she designed very practical, detailed ABA plans. She is very hands-on, so she can demonstrate and train BT very well to carry out her plan. She did a good work for analyzing the data and communicated well with us for the parent training session. My son loves the behavior therapists from CSLOT as well. He has met quite a few of them and bonded well with all of them. Tammy is one of the therapists my son has been with for the longest time. She has years of experience and very creative in engaging with my son. And my son fully enjoys session with her. Insurance is always difficult to deal with. CSLOT has gone out of its way to help us. It gives us a super bill, which helps with the out of the network reimbursement. Every. 6 month, we need pre-authorization to continue my son's ABA therapy. The BCBA always helps us to reach out to our insurance company, prepare progress report before the phone session with the insurance company and help us to get the optimal amount of service hours. Overall, I am very satisfied with CSLOT. And their work can be shown in my son's progress. When he was diagnosed at four years old, he needed school district SDC preschool. When he entered elementary school, he still needed 90 minutes per week support. Now, he only needs 30 minutes social group from the school, which is considered 98% mainstream. All of these is impossible without the great service from CSLOT.

I hope they get sued to hell. They had so many bad therapists that had very little training…read more My son's first BT asked me what is autism, I asked her how much training did she get. She said she watched a couple of short videos and was cleared to work as a BT. Their scheduler is useless and their main focus is making as much as they can. We had 6-7 BTs in the span of 1-2 years, majority of them were terrible. The only reason we stayed with them is because of Hussein, he was literally the best thing about this place. He was an incredible BT and a great human being.

My daughter is non-verbal and Mrs. Chris helped her find her voice using total communication (gestures, vocalizations, visual aids, etc). Her patience and dedication have been unwavering, and we are so grateful for her. Mrs. Chris was also an incredible support throughout the entire process of getting our daughter's AAC device. Not only did she help us navigate the long journey to get it, but she also took the time to continue her own learning so she could teach our daughter to be successful on the device. It has been amazing to watch our daughter communicate with others so confidently. The entire Ascend Rehab organization has a wonderful, family-like feel, and everyone is genuinely kind and supportive.

Our child was a late talker, so we did our research and found East Bay Child Development Center…read more(formerly PLTA). From intake to our final class, the staff made sure that the scheduling process was a breeze, and that visits did not fall short of expectations. They have an excellent staff dedicated to your child's development, and the office is pristine. Not just clean; very well kept. I noticed that there wasn't one tear on a book or broken toys. They put lots of effort into upkeep, knowing well that toys and books can take a beating with younger kids. East Bay Child Development Center has terrific speech therapists and therapists specialized in helping in all other types of child development, including but not limited to physical therapy, etc. We went through 2 different speech therapists and 1 or 2 therapy students which was a little harder for our son to grow accustomed to because it would take him awhile to warm up (which I've learned isn't unusual for any development therapy center), but each therapist tried their absolute best to ensure they were giving him the utmost care and attention.

That speech is not a good fit for him, that his sister runs around the hallways exploring toys and opened doors of offices, about me get a phone call so they discharged him from services. This is racism and discrimination by the way ladies I want to give you suggestions, your office needs a new administration, organisation and functionality. Everybody there seems to go everywhere, I don't know if these people work here are they clients. The back door to the outside was open, this is called dysfunctional. The office receptionist was like his first day to work, confused and looked around like a lost boy. There four people by office were speaking loud and chatting. They failed my son years ago when he was younger because they said he was not ready for speech when I just changed my insurance to get accepted to come here. Now he's 12 years old saying he's not a good fit. Shame on you to say that to me. You can't discharge him that's illegal. My son is trying with his speech and he has rights in California to receive speech therapy any age. Discrimination by the ability, then age, what's next because his sister running around the office and also I was on the phone? For that lady who spoke with me today over the phone couldn't wait on me. And making me feel like I was being fired from the job, she sounded rude and said my daughter was running around the room and I was speaking loud on the phone so the excuse to fail my son. Then changed her words saying he's not a good fit and he runs fast and wants to push the kids. She needs to find more excuses for her to dismiss him. You don't know how hard and challenging to be a mother of autistic kid. I finally thought I have him his speech going and then you locked me up like shutting my mouth. Go see if your speech therapist is the one who has the problem. She too lazy to give speech therapy or has a lack of skills. This is Shameless and discrimination.

Although we only worked with Shamim for three months our child made tremendous progress with her help. We only stopped working with her because we moved out of state. If we could continue services with her, we absolutely would. Shamim is wonderful with kids. It is evident that she has years of experience working with children of all ages and variety of concerns as well as with parents. Her approach is warm, caring, supportive, playful, knowledgeable, creative, and engaging. She was flexible with her treatment approach and met our child where he was at. Our child always looked forward to their sessions. She is also great at managing behavioral regulation and provided some practical techniques to us as parents. In addition, Shamim is wonderful working with parents. We appreciated her willingness to consider realistic recommendations on how to help our child and practice speech/language at home given our busy schedules. She kept us informed with his progress. Even after we moved, she checked in with us and she helped us find resources in our area. I truly believe that working with Shamim was integral to the improvement and further speech and language development of child and has been very beneficial with his progress socially and academically.
