When I look for any doctor, i care about their medical knowledge, patience to listen and appreciate my concerns and if they are respected by their colleagues and patients. Dr. Bloch is more than that, he's passionate about what he's doing, and he genuinely cares. These good qualities also show in the tidiness of his office, and his whole team of staffs.

My four-year-old son (level 3 autism, ADHD, semi-verbal) received in-home ABA therapy through Kyo…read morefor several months. Based on what we later discovered on our home security cameras, I believe he was subjected to repeated inappropriate conduct by his assigned behavior technician. We are in the process of contacting news agencies. This review is a sincere warning to current and prospective clients. Please read it carefully and make your own decisions. The technician assigned to our home, Alex, was not providing structured therapy during many sessions. The footage shows that during periods when we were not directly in the room (we have more than one child with special needs and were moving between them), Alex engaged in repeated physical interactions that crossed clear boundaries we had already set. These include: * prolonged tickling that continued after my son clearly said "teacher stop," tried to push his hands away, and became distressed * repeated physical contact on or very near private areas (front and back) * covering my son with a blanket and reaching underneath it while he was on the bed * placing hands around my son's neck during play, at one point causing him to gag * placing a pillow over his face * encouraging my son to climb onto the top bunk and jump off, despite explicit instructions that this was not allowed due to prior injuries * rough handling on a sensory swing that resulted in falls that were seemingly intentional My son fell multiple times. In some clips, he says he is hurt. None of these incidents were reported to us. There had also been a prior incident where my son fell from a swing and hit his head in the presence of his supervising BCBA, Pashence Columbus. No incident report was provided. After that, I made it very clear: no swinging, no tickling, and maintain appropriate physical boundaries. Those instructions were not followed. During this same period, my son's behavior changed dramatically. He developed aggression, began hitting, started using language we do not use in our home, and began waking up with night terrors. The change was severe enough that he underwent neurological testing and was prescribed medication while doctors tried to determine the cause. At the time, we had no explanation. After reviewing the footage and terminating services with Kyo, many of these behaviors improved almost immediately. We have preserved the video evidence. Law enforcement has already been to our home, and multiple agencies are now reviewing what occurred. We have also been informed that the technician is no longer employed there. We are still dealing with the long-term effects of what our son experienced. I am not making broad claims about every ABA provider. I am sharing what happened in our home. What I will say is this: families should not assume that in-home therapy is being properly supervised simply because it is labeled as clinical care. Oversight can vary, and parents should verify what is actually happening. If your child is receiving services, especially if they are non-verbal or developmentally delayed, pay close attention, set clear boundaries, and verify. I wish I had checked sooner.

I was building rapport with a client, day 2, we're playing video games, my mentor arrived late, and gave me a long and angry stare. Now I am being flagged a second time because a clients mother found out that myself and other BT's that worked for Tucci got let go due to a BT being accused of child abuse. It's on ksbw and clearly I wasn't the abuser and wasn't arrested. The mother said she no longer felt comfortable with me working with her kid. I got the second flag today. I've only been with this company for a month. They told me if I wanted to, I could put my 2 weeks in, so I did. The mentor and this company has made me feel really uncomfortable and alone. I am Mexican and I can't think of any other reason why I am being treated this way except for discrimination. Regarding the mother, if I was fired for child abuse, why would Kyo hire me? I had already worked with her kiddo a few times the past 2 weeks and we were doing just fine. Tucci knew they were wrong for laying me off that's why I was able to use them as a reference because they said I could. If you're a minority, watch out because there's barely any diversity, they'll discriminate, and find any reason to flag you.

The variety of menu options was impressive, and every item was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

Although we brought a few decorative touches of our own, the space is truly event-ready, with stunning panoramic views and a beautiful outdoor deck that our guests thoroughly enjoyed. Our bartender, Damon, was warm, personable, and incredibly hospitable. Our server, Bunny, was friendly, attentive, and efficient. He anticipated our needs throughout the evening, and we never had to ask for a thing. Every detail was handled flawlessly. It was truly a privilege to host such a successful event while supporting an incredible nonprofit organization that serves our community with such compassion and dedication.

The entire experience has been nothing short of fantastic since the first day I ever waved goodbye to my toddler, leaving him in the care and educational guidance of amazing teachers, interns, and classroom helpers/volunteers! On entering and exiting the adorable CDC of MCC you are always welcomed with warm greetings and sent home with generous well-wishes by the woman behind the front-desk, Mark or Linda! (directors of the center) This school, located on the MiraCosta college campus, is a laboratory school meaning that students of the college studying Child Development are allowed to learn from children at play via observation booths or hands-on activities within the various classrooms in the center. Parents, of course, sign a waiver consenting to allowing their child to be observed. I think this aspect of the school is wonderful! It's like educational mutualism: everybody benefits! It's also great because as a parent or relative, you can visit your child's respective classroom observation booth and watch your kiddo in their natural element without them even knowing you're there! Each classroom is comprised of children within the same age range and the ratio between child and teacher is adequate and comforting! Children engage in many different kinds of play and learning every day of the week, in fact, teachers often plan their days based on what they have seen their students finding the most interest in! While the classrooms have routines that they try to follow to create that sense of a schedule for the children, it is never 100% cookie-cutter final: the children too can help drive the direction in which the activities go! The actual classrooms themselves are spacious and feel organic! (I LOVE the use of natural light to brighten the learning space and the fact that the classrooms are not equipped with those cheap, plastic climb on toys you might find at any other preschool-like setting!) Instead the classes are furnished with wooden structures for climbing on, cozy reading areas, play-pretend nooks, various child-sized round tables for a variety of different activities, spots made with specific themes in mind: science, math, writing, nature, ect, a place for group-time/gathering, and a lovely outdoor place space! Don't forget the tiny toilets! I have enjoyed my son going here as much as I believe that he too really enjoys being enrolled at this great preschool! The tuition is quite reasonable! The center offers rates dependent on whether a parent is a MIraCosta student or simply a member of the general population. The lines of communication are always open between families and the staff of the CDC, whether you'd like to speak in person, over the phone, or through email! I love when the center has events that bring children, their families, and the center's staff together. We really make a unique community!

Just thought I'd share my experience with others so they aren't surprised. I've had people ask me what I thought about Highland and I've told them, so it seemed fitting to make it public to warn people. Now you are making things up. No profanity was used. How did you even come up with that? You weren't there. Did she make that up or did you? And what disrespect are you talking about? Me being mad? Yes, I was mad, but there was no disrespect. Raising my voice a little out of frustration that I had just told the teacher about my kid's reflux, then less than an hour later I had to pick her up for what you even confirmed was spit up? I missed my deadline and had to rearrange my whole week because of that. You told me I could bring my kid back that same day once you confirmed that the teacher didn't even know what spit up is (yet she is watching 10+ kids all day long). But I refused because I had been called so many times to pick up my child in the past. My kid has since been at another preschool and I haven't been called a single time to pick her up. If anything, your school and the teacher had a clear disrespect of my time and my job on many occasions when you would call me and require me to pick up my kid for silly reasons. Can any other reviewers confirm that this has happened to them as well? I am sure there are some that would say so themselves. I totally understand what I committed to when registering. I didn't know that my kid would be sent home again, and after so many times, I just had enough. I asked for a refund of the deposit, but you refused despite the mistake on your staff's part. That's ok. I figured since that is the case, then an honest review is fair.
