Most or if not all of the therapists are young graduates with limited experience. This is not…read moreunnecessarily a bad thing but leads to a high turnover. Most of the therapists are doing their followership or find a better opportunity and leave. Our child has had 4 new speech therapists in one year. Most of the therapists at Ivy Rehab stick around 4-6 months before leaving. The therapists are actually highly motivated and involved in the sessions. Unfortunately, the consistency is not there at Ivy Rehab. Our child starts building rapport with a therapist only for them to leave. Scheduling is also a nightmare there. You have to call multiple times to get appointments as they're booked solid in the afternoons after 3pm. The front desk staff isn't great. Amil is quite easy to talk to and schedule appointments. On the other hand, Latonya is rude and always has an attitude that you can hear in her tone of voice.

Our regular speech therapist is amazing but every time we've seen someone else they have been wonderful too. I honestly can't say enough positive things about this office.

I just want to take this time to thank Early Start Therapy! I'm a single mom to a three year old…read moreboy, I was unsure about ABA and Speech Therapy. After a few sessions with Deborah A. and the Team.. my son has blossomed! He started out shy and he wanted to do everything independently but now he has learned how to work with others and be a good friend! I also wanted to give a huge shout out to Deborah A.! I appreciate you so much! Thank you for your guidance, support and patience! My son had a really hard time understanding his own feelings. Especially being half verbal/nonverbal. Deborah took her time to show me how I can help my son when he was going through his big meltdowns. He's not having many tantrums anymore but when he does; I use the technique and after a few minutes he's okay! Thank you for everything! I'm really glad that we joined Early Start!

We were referred to Early Start Therapy by Kaiser for speech therapy. They evaluated our child and…read moretold us they had the perfect class. It was not perfect. It wasn't even speech therapy.

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!

At home speech therapy is so convenient.

She is always willing to answer questions, talk through concerns, and make sure we feel supported. It makes such a difference having a supervisor who is so involved and genuinely cares about the team. Overall, I really enjoy coming to work, the people I work with, and the families we serve. I'm very happy to be part of such a supportive team.

Katie is warm, nurturing, incredibly talented, motivating, and such a wonderful role model to my daughter.

If you have the opportunity to use OWLS Therapy, particularly Katie McLaughlin, for your child, run, don't walk -- you won't regret it!

Karen provided written summaries of each session and activities/goals to work on at home. The only reason we stopped services was because we moved to a different state- otherwise we'd still be using them! I did a lot of research/trial sessions into other Northern Virginia offices and I am so glad we went with OWLs!

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.
