They are incredibly…read morehelpful, accommodating, and easy to work with, and the fact that they come to the house has been such a gift for our family. They also accept the Self-Determination Program, which has made services much more accessible for us. After working with Ms. Kristin for a little over a year, we have seen the most improvement we've ever seen with my daughter. Her articulation is so much better, her vocabulary has increased tremendously, and she is now 100% intelligible. What I appreciate most about Kristin is that she really understands PDA. She does not push my daughter in a way that overwhelms her, but she still encourages her to work, participate, and have fun while doing it. Kyra is also wonderful to work with. If there is ever a problem, no matter what it is, she will work with you to find a solution. We are so grateful for Kristin, Kyra, and Sound It Out Speech Therapy and would absolutely recommend them.

Very nice team and speedy fast response time. They have great communication and our patients love their speech therapists! Speech therapists are difficult to find, so they have been a great addition to our team.

    We love Learning Tree! My two year old son has been coming here for about four months for OT,…read morespeech, and physical therapy, and the progress he's made in such a short time has been amazing to see. He genuinely enjoys coming to his sessions. The therapists are incredibly kind, patient, and caring. They always make therapy fun and engaging, and they've done such a great job building a connection with my son. A special shout-out to Ms. Marjorie, Ms. Jen, and Mr. Ernie. We are so thankful for all the time, effort, and heart they put into helping our son! I highly recommend Learning Tree to any family looking for a supportive and dedicated therapy team.

He is speaking a lot more and he is able to tolerate a haircut which was unheard of for us. His OT teacher Ms. KJ really went over and beyond to prepare him for a successful haircut and we are so happy - she even gave him a certificate. Ms Jenn is his speech therapist and she is so sweet and patient with him and always thinking of ways to build his vocabulary. He had a therapist, Ms Leen that was truly amazing in helping us get out of the speech plateau that we had previously hit. The Director Ms Melissa is always available to talk about goals and check in's frequently which makes us feel very supported. The staff all around is so sweet very responsive and accommodating - they are always a text away if there are any changes in either schedule, they also send weekly reminders which is very helpful. This place has been heaven sent for us. We love you guys and THANK you for all you do for all the kiddos!!

    Julie and her staff are amazing. My child's speech improved significantly with her expertise.read more

    Everybody loves Julie. Including me. Especially me. She saved us during the pandemic when I was…read morestressing out about my 18 month old not speaking and not signing, with no way of seeing therapists in person. She was the only one who responded to me since clearly, the pandemic has done a number on many other babies/toddlers as well and every speech practice was slammed. I found her through Yelp as well as personal recommendations from other parents so I already knew she was dependable and trustworthy. On top of that, she is personable, funny, and most importantly, responsive. She reached out to Kaiser's staff speech therapist on our behalf in order to get us switched over from the vendor we were originally referred to, which was such a lifesaver because if you have any experience with Kaiser, you'd know you can never get in touch with anyone directly. She got everything sorted for us and within a couple of weeks (which again, is super fast in Kaiser world), we were scheduled to start Zoom with Ms Amy. We loved her but Zoom with a taby (toddler baby) is what it is - limited. But we were hopeful about more progress in-person and had hoped to continue with Ms Amy once STP reopened but the scheduling just didn't work out. We were a little nervous and hesitant to go with Ms Reanna in person but omg looking back, it was all wasted energy. My taby loved (still loves) Reanna passionately (sometimes to the point where I wonder if...more than me??) Ms. Reanna is just the perfect mix of fun, discipline, and patience for her. She is firm when she needs to be (which was often back then) and is silly and creative when the session allows for it. We have been going to speech for almost 2 yrs and have seen other therapists (who have all been great as well) at STP due to scheduling but she will always prefer Reanna. We went from having fears that she would be non-verbal to now not being able to get her to stop talking. She just will notstoptalking lol. And as a parent, that is both joyful and stressful but I digress. The tools that we have learned at STP and the people that we have met here are worth staying up and writing a long review about. Because Julie and her team deserve all the credit and accolades. Most of all, they deserve to know how much their clients appreciate them and they deserve more families to love on as well.

    Preferred Practice Talk & Play is the worst! We started going here last year because the person I…read moreinitially spoke with (Lorena) and my kid's previous therapist (Ciara) were both very warm and helpful. THEY HAVE SINCE LEFT AND THE PEOPLE WORKING THERE NOW ARE THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE! Disorganized is an understatement. They had no other OTs in the entire clinic and could not find a replacement from November through late February. They offered us no other option for receiving services during this time, and kept stringing us along saying that another therapist will be there then cancelling on us at the last minute week after week. Even now it's almost April and they STILL only have one occupational therapist to handle "so many kids" who they can't fit into the schedule but will apparently try to charge money for anyway. The most recent OT hire is named Caitlyn. We saw her for two sessions last month--this is after my kid was put on pause because they didn't have any therapists available at all. In these sessions she didn't really interact with my kid. Part of our OT services include feeding therapy and the food container we brought wasn't even opened by the therapist at all. She could have easily communicated her plan to do this with a quick text beforehand knowing that the meal prep of bringing a combination of preferred versus non-preferred foods for every session takes time and effort. The following sessions after that were cancelled AGAIN because shortly after starting there the new hire went on a long vacation (which again was not communicated to me while I was there in person) then she called off sick prolonging her return back from vacation. Of course she shouldn't come in if she's truly sick but the way everything unfolded is questionable. They also did NOT offer any virtual alternatives. We tried to schedule a makeup with Caitlyn but she made it extremely difficult by suddenly removing available time windows, having a passive aggressive tone, and generally taking forever to respond--four days in between texts and two weeks since my request to be exact--which she only finally did because my kid had a scheduled session that day. Her long awaited response was disappointing and pointless as she just told me to redirect my questions to people that I do not know with no further info. I asked her to clarify and she never answered that either. My kid's session that day (after Caitlyn cancelled all other sessions this month) was very uncomfortable. Caitlyn also kept forgetting paperwork for every session that my kid was there. The makeup remained unscheduled and when I called the clinic about her regular session time, I was only met with more attitude. We were fed up with the clinic cancelling sessions at this point, especially since we had never once cancelled from our end. On the phone I spoke with the "Director of Operations" who introduced herself as both Monica and Monique. Monica/Monique was very dismissive, defensive, and condescending to me. She speaks very passive aggressively too. She said that we are lucky that they kept a spot open for us while they transitioned to a new therapist. In hindsight I wish we would not have been so understanding and patient while waiting for them. We should have left the clinic when the good therapist did! Monica also trash talked the therapist from last year. When I said that we weren't comfortable proceeding with the new therapist this week, she was quick to tell me that we shouldn't return and to find my kid's OT services elsewhere, as if it was only her choice not mine. We were told that they needed clients when we were first referred here but I can see why others would leave with this type of behavior. They don't have a big online presence so maybe that's how they've gotten away with it so far but I want to leave a review because I wish I knew all of this before we wasted all this time and energy here. Monica/Monique also said that my kid's authorization expired at some point after November while they were looking for a replacement, despite making me believe that my kid was covered this whole time--I asked before her previous therapist left and after. They also told me that they submitted a progress report last week which doesn't make sense given that they've barely scheduled us in since last year. They NEVER told tell me there was any evaluation taking place! When I asked for more information she refused and said this isn't something that they talk to parents about. They are so unethical and shady so be careful! Also note that unlike other clinics, this one has you directly text the therapist and there is usually nobody available at the front desk to check you in. If there was somebody, we were just ignored. Other clinics actually greet you, treat you with respect, and appreciate your business so please take it elsewhere.

    We went to Preferred Practice and they were really great. The therapists here really care about…read moretheir clients and they also offer a great amount of help to parents so that you can work with your child outside of sessions.
