We have had such a great experience at Child Success for occupational therapy. Our son has been…read morecoming for about a year and we already see tremendous improvement that has given both him and us (his parents) so much confidence. Melissa specifically has been incredible. She is patient, always willing to talk to us, and even communicates with his teachers at school to ensure our son is always getting the care and support he needs. She's also extremely knowledgeable, and is able to explain the roadmap for what she is working on not only now, but in the future, and how it will help our son overcome the challenges he came in with. We are so grateful we found Child Success!

We decided to do the Kinder Prep Camp after having done the Friendship Club, and were very…read moredisappointed with the lack of compassion and accommodation for our anxious 5-year-old compared to all the other regular camps we did this summer. We received a call within an hour of him being at the camp that he was stressed and overstimulated and didn't want to participate, so he was going to need extra support to stay. This was shocking to me considering how little time he had been there, that the point of it was to help kids adjust to kindergarten, and that their ratio was 2 adults to 7 kids. They told me that he consistently improved over the course of the first day and further improved on the second day, but that it would be too costly to keep another adult there to help him. It was sad for us because he left on a high note, telling me that he'd made a friend and that he had done a better job staying in the group. He clearly felt like a success and I wish he'd been given the opportunity to continue improving, but I didn't want him to stay at a camp where the facilitators believed that he was too much for them. He successfully did a year of TK last year and several other camps this summer, some with a ratio of 1 adult to 16 kids. CSC was polite to me and pro-rated me the other days, but it was upsetting because I assumed the most expensive camp I signed up for this summer (held at a therapy location) would be the greatest success, not the one camp that had to call me about an issue. This camp may work out for kids who are already very familiar with their gym environment and don't really need that much help when they feel anxious, but if you're looking for something that will help your child if they struggle in a new environment, this does not seem like the best choice. Some camps that worked well for us this summer were Pedalheads, Compass Clinic's Friendship Island Camp, Campbell Hall's Creative Arts Camp, and Destination Science.

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.

Leaps and Boundz truly provides a space for children with diverse abilities to grow, build skills and confidence. I watched my grandson focus for an hour, develop core strength, and become more aware of how to use his body - traversing a balance beam, learning how to safely climb up and down ladders, jump on a trampoline, and effectively throw, bounce and catch balls. Coach Eric was the most knowledgeable person I have seen working with children with disabilities. He is a gentle guide mirroring behavior and gently encouraging children to build their strengths and become the best they can be. All of the staff members I saw were caring and attentive. And Dominique was so thoughtful offering guidance. I asked Eric about the company's overall objectives and he shared that they want to create community for children, families and adults who might feel isolated. What a noble and necessary goal. I would recommend Leaps n Boundz to any parent looking to help their child grow and nourish a sense of achievement and belonging.
