    First the good news: several of the caregivers who actually had contact with our child were very…read moregood indeed. Our problem (and the reason for this rather harsh review) is with the so-called management of Thrive. To call them bad doesn't even begin to do them justice. Abysmal might be closer. As far as I'm concerned, the big problem is communication. They "forbid" employees from communicating directly with parents but then fail to do so themselves. Several times my wife was left for an hour or more sitting at the daycare waiting for someone to show up, only to find out that they had called in sick or whatever. In one case, they had known for months that the carer was going to be out of town, but failed to schedule a substitute. Sheer incompetence. It was great when it was a small family-owned business, but when it was bought out, it seriously went downhill. As soon as the original team left, it all went to h***. I urged my wife to replace them on several occasions, but since we were so close to our son going to kindergarten, she decided to wait it out. I would never recommend the company (as distinct from the carers). To the contrary, run away as fast as you can. If I could choose zero stars on this review, I would.

    Mia is an absolute blessing. She has been dedicated to helping the autism community for almost a…read moredecade. I have witnessed her change so many families lives. Mia is highly educated and understands her clients individual needs. Mia is dedicated to helping her clients live up to their full potential. If you are in need of an autism specialist, Mia is the behavior analyst for you! Thank you for all you have done.

    Wonderful experience here!! It takes a village to raise a child, as they say, and having a…read moreprofessional in the village is awesome. We all connected well and everyone is super friendly! We're really glad we got to connect! If you are hesitant to include a therapist in your circle of people assisting you to raise your child, take a breath and get past it. You'll understand the value after the first visit!

    I haven't been to Raise but Jess has treated someone I love. I have encountered many therapist and…read morethere are many out there who are clinically sufficient. What Jess brings to the table is something more, which was a genuine concern for my child. On one of our conversatios she said " I went on this run and I was thinking about"... she was thinking about my kid and how to help. She made me feel like we ( we because as parents, things that affect our kids affect us) were "seen." I think more often than not people get complacent in their careers, including the medical or mental health field, which I would chalk up to human nature. However, she never made me feel like my kid was number or just another patient. She was someone going through something and Jess was going to figure it out. We had to stop seeing Jess due to some circumstances out of my control. Which only lead us to a merry go round of therapists and it wasn't until then, that I was able to fully appreciate her, not only for her emotional investment in my child but also for her instincts, which were proven to be spot on. While on that mental health merry go round, I learned that not every therapist has the capability to convey a genuine sense of commitment and concern for their client/patient , however Jess did. Taking on someone else's emotional pain, trauma, anxieties and fears has to be one of the hardest jobs I could imagine, especially when it comes to children...so I can understand having and internal shut off valve and not fault anyone needing to enact that protective mechanism. But as a parent who's child hurts....I sure as shit want someone who sees my kid, as I see them. Once again I saw Jess early in her career. Not only do I magine that she has gotten better with time but I imagine now that she has her own practice, she chooses people who values their clients as much as she does. ...I did recently refer someone here and they had positive reviews about Jess, Teena and the facility.

    I took my son in for an evaluation about 2 years ago. The Dr. sat with us for 40 minutes and…read morediagnosed him with oppositional defiance disorder. He didn't do any real formal testing just parent reports and observations. He did not consider Lyme disease, PANS/PANDAS. He claimed those were controversial diagnosis. We got a second opinion and it turned out my son does have an autoimmune disease (confirmed by medical doctors and an abundance of lab results) and once that was being treated most symptoms went away. The remaining characteristics were aligned with being gifted, another alternative that Hopebridge's doctor ignored but was later confirmed by a formal evaluation. If I had listened to their report and allowed my son to be misdiagnosed he would not be thriving like he is right now. I am a BCBA and I would never recommend this company for diagnostics.

    It says on our service plan, and on hopebridge's website, that they provide speech therapy,…read moreoccupational therapy, feeding therapy, ABA... Just know that if you go here, THEY ONLY PROVIDE ABA, which is contrary to their contract and website. I filed a grievance, and they discharged my son completely, saying he is done??? He did not get an exit evaluation by the psychologist. When I had brought this to their attention, they went ahead and graduated my son from ABA. He still has yet to receive feeding therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy . He is not ready at all. This discharge comes less than a month after I filed a grievance about them not providing said services..

    The therapists and care givers at this facility placed a 6 year old, autistic, non-combative child…read morein a CONFINEMENT room when he had a panic attack. The situation was so traumatic for him that he doesn't even want to speak about it with his family or therapists. His mom and family were also traumatized as she could hear him begging for his mom when she ran in the door. This child is verbal and not aggressive as he tends to isolate himself when he is upset. The providers here handled a child's crisis in the worst way possible. Children deserve better- especially children who need help and care and expect to get it at a center made to help them.

    Given how long it took us to get an evaluation done at SAARC, CARD Chandler didn't take nearly as…read morelong to find us a spot to start ABA therapy. We had the initial intake in mid September 2017, started ABA by late November 2017. We have been here about 11 months, and the changes in our kid's behavior have changed so drastically for the better! It is important to note that many of the therapist here have been around for a while. The turnover is quite low- therapist usually only leaving because their studies are complete and are moving back home or to a bigger city for employment. The receptionist is very lovely and a very welcoming face for CARD. When schedule changes are needed on our end, the office manger almost always helps us find a solution. Keeping the line of communication open here is VERY helpful. Couldn't be happier with the progress the kiddo has made. Have also made some (hopefully life long) adult friends here.
