I have brought my child to this facility for awhile now and we are both so happy here! So much…read moreprogress has been made and the staff there from the lovely lady who handled our intake and all the front office staff and Brandi the front office manager, to the therapists we have had, yes some turn over but compared to other places in the Buda/Kyle area not bad, my child has been not only taken care of but treated in a way all parents should want their child to be treated...like a human being. Our first meeting with Amy was so refreshing and needed after the hell of ABA and the "training" they try to do to your kids (if you know you know). She is so knowledgeable and understanding to our concerns and needs and just really was upfront, please visit their website before you go to, I see many complaints on here but seem to be due to lack of parents research, and she really advocates for her clients and getting them all needed in just all aspects of their lives...school and home life. As a parent I am just so grateful to have a place have my back like this one does...they are upfront with all that is going on but never push my child and make them feel less than they are or like they don't matter and they help me with tools to take home and use as well. Like most parents as well I am so grateful for all the reminders that I get not only about upcoming appointments but payments as well...paying ahead of time I know for some is like "WTF" but look at the times we live in people so it is understandable they need to get paid for services rendered...too many ungrateful people out there that have made it this way for most place. All in all LOVE this place and my child is so happy and at home here as well...asks daily when can go back to see as he says "his people".

STAR PT is THE "1 stop shop for all your body's needs!" 1st…read moresection of this review is "my story"; Skip to the end for other details about STAR PT. K, I'm a bit biased: I, myself, was a PT at STAR for 10 years. But, I'm a patient right now: bicipital tendinitis developed as a result of shoulder impingement/rotator cuff arthropathy. I couldn't use my arm worth squat, constant pain, and intense pain with attempted use. What I had tried/done failed. Grew very discouraged/depressed: Husband asked me when I was going to DO something about it (& stop complaining, lol). Saw my doc: He offered an injection, but I said, "PT first please, and I want to go to STAR." (don't want injections to jeopardize the integrity of my tendons, and STAR PT "only"!). Yes, a PT may need another PT to lift one up, illuminate the path, and lead the way to success! Highlighting Anthony for his awesomeness! I specifically requested Anthony because he was the only one who didn't "know me." I know the other therapists, and they are all excellent. In this case personally, I wanted to be "led" unbiasedly: without any consideration/assumption that I "should know" this or that since the others "know" I'm a PT. Visits 1 & 2 proved to me why you see a PT before injections/surgery: immediate positive impact! I experienced a set-back after the visit 3 - of the exact same nature as to why I was unsuccessful when I tried to rehab myself. Anthony got me past this in ways that I'd never thought of! Week 3: still progressing, and Anthony increased focus on other components of my body to ensure long-term success (YES, core/pelvic/hip/leg exercises for my shoulder problem!). 8th visit/re-evaluation: 80+% better! Able to swim freestyle without problems over 4th of July holidays, pain is SO much less (I can handle intermittent dull aching), I no longer hesitate to use my arm (though it's still quite weak), and I'm now asking questions about working out! Anthony is so awesome: He listens, instructs, educates, set goals, and puts the plan into place. Though (as a PT) I think I could "take over" independently at this point, I'm continuing because I want to return to 100% and want him to keep leading me to ensure success. I started a version of push-ups (um, 7 visits ago, this thought was ludicrous)! Anthony reviewed other activities/gym exercises to try (or avoid), reminded me of needed rest/recovery periods and signs of when to back-off/stop. I don't know if I'll need to update this review when I am 100%, because I'm now feeling like nothing's going to stop me from reaching my goals! & Yes, should I experience any "hiccup" from this point forward, Anthony will bring me beyond it (full confidence), but this is why I'm still going to STAR PT!

After my son kept getting in trouble at school, a friend told me that he sounded like a 'sensory…read morekid'. I didn't know what that meant, but she suggested that he have an OT evaluation. After having an evaluation at kidventures, the OT took the time to explain Sensory processing disorder and she gave me lots of resources that my husband and I could implement at home. My son loves going to "play" there and he talks about the "big gym" all the time! His OT did a school visit and kept in contact with his teacher to help her understand his behaviors and sensory needs. It's amazing that he can sit still through circle time now and is much better at following directions. He is even more coordinated and able to keep up with his friends during sports activities. The best part has been that his confidence has grown and we are so grateful for the services here.

Attending therapy services at Kidventures has been a game-changer for our family. I had been at…read moreanother therapy center for several months, with no noticable improvements in my daughter. I was starting to doubt the value of occupational therapy when someone referred me to Kidventures. From the initial evaluation, I could tell that they GOT my daughter. They REALLY SAW HER, so the plan that was developed was specific to her needs/goals. They knew what/when/how to tackle the issues to help her develop. I was included every step of the way and encouraged to participate. I received valuable feedback after every session and was given suggestions for things I could do at home to further help. My daughter is now a different little girl-she's mastered so many skills and continues to amaze me with her progress! Her physical abilities, as well as the ease with which we now move though our lives (those difficult transitions are sooo much easier!) make for happier days immediately and long term hope for a bright future. I can't thank Jen, Angie and the staff at Kidventures enough. If you are a fellow parent of a child with special needs, I know you want to trust your child to capable AND caring hands. That's what you'll find at Kidventures!

My daughter is a young mother but the disrespect lately is totally uncalled for. She is also discussing my granddaughters services with the director of the center! They need a HIPPA and positive communication training with staff. The only time she had to cancel services was due to her child having the flu and her running late 10 minutes due to car issues. Below you will find a text message to my daughter. Today my daughter was only taking her to preschool for her speech and she receives this text message from her at 1:28pm. Apparently she had already spoken with the director of the school and told she was absent. All communication should start with my daughter first.

Dr. Boes has been an amazing caregiver for our two kids since they were born. She's sensitive to…read morethe parents' thoughts and is so, so good at explaining complicated medical information. We have enjoyed her as a doctor for routine visits - both my son and my daughter just love her - as well as when we had a real emergency and my daughter ended up in the hospital for emergency surgery, as well as the after-care for months afterwards. We don't have trouble making visits - when Dr. Boes' schedule is full, the other very good docs at Pediatric Associates can take the visit, including Drs Mirrop and Hargrave, with whom we've also had great experiences. In addition, the Pediatric Associates of Austin staff is wonderful. They actually remember who you are and are prompt with replies and efficient and smart on the phone! The office is centrally located and parking is easy.

There are typical 2yr old behaviors and there are some behaviors that stand out and I knew something was off. When I first met Miss Chris and Kristen they were warm, kind, caring and very friendly. You can tell they love what they do. After months of sending my son here we have seen immense improvements! Getting dressed is no longer a battle, my son will finally wear jeans (he used to hate certain textures), let us wash his hair, sit for meals now, and he can handle so much more than I even have time to write. I recommend this place to all my friends and people in parents groups who wonder what to do with sensory issue kids, ADD/ADHD kids, autism and aspbergers, Down syndrome, and kids with anger. It's totally WORTH it!

My girlfriend's doctor said learning the Alexander technique would help her back pain and improve her posture, which has a slew of other beneficial side effects. I decided to go along because why the hell not? I'm also a martial artist and frequently have back pain, so it wasn't a complete waste of my time. Basically is was amazing. I went to Sarah with casual indifference and left literally astounded. I know this sounds like bullshit but in the hour I spent with her she taught me enough things about my body, posture and stress than I even realized was possible. Best of all, at the end of that hour I felt great! Like, I didn't even realize how bundled up with stress I was until I left her office relaxed and comfortable, equipped with knew tricks. All from standing up straight. (Gross oversimplification, but you get the idea.) On a side note she's simply very knowledgable, passionate and easy to talk to. Check this lady out, she impressed me and earned a recurring client. I have no doubt she'll do the same for you.
