The best speech therapists!!…read more We have been using Gold Speech for our son's speech therapy off and on for a few years, and we've had a wonderful experience. Molly is one of his favorites. She is always on time, warm, and kind, and my son truly enjoys his sessions with her. Molly has made such a meaningful difference in our son's speech and confidence. We're very grateful for the care and support he has received from Gold Speech and highly recommend them to other families.

My child has been attending Mr Neil's social group for the past 2 years and has also been working…read morewith him in private sessions. During that time, I've seen tremendous growth in her communication and social skills. Mr Neil is not only knowledgeable and highly skilled but also incredibly kind and patient. He always takes the time to answer my questions and shares helpful suggestions for supporting my child at home. What stands out most is how genuinely he cares about each child and makes both children and parents feel welcome and supported. That personal connection means so much to our family, especially in a field where services can often feel rushed and business focused. While waiting for my child during her sessions, I've also noticed how kind, caring and patient the other therapists at Gold Speech are with their clients. I highly recommend Mr Neil and Gold Speech to any parent looking for compassionate, high quality speech therapy or social skills groups for their child !

I wish there were more reviews for ABA companies online. I think it's because parents of kids with…read moreAutism are so busy surviving that they don't have time. So, here's to all you parents trying to find an ABA company! Nov. 2017 we applied to 2 companies literally days after a diagnosis. We applied to ALP and Trumpet. I had to keep up with ALP, Trumpet would send me an email every single month asking if we wanted to stay on the waitlist, every month I replied. Finally in April I called and then was told we could begin services. After more paperwork and evaluations we began therapy the end of June 2018. While our first therapist was sweet, she was not implementing programs. Being new at ABA and currently going through medical troubles about 6 weeks in I chatted with another mom and she said.. wait all she is doing is playing? You need to ask for another BT asap. So I did. We seemed to have semi regular meetings with the BCBA and the senior BT. Both who were very nice and understanding. 3 therapists later (June 2019) we left for a 6 week vacation to Europe. We were told our spot would not be saved, I understood, but figured being a previous client we hopefully wouldn't have to wait long. I was wrong, we were placed back on the waitlist. COVID-19 happened and then I got an email from both companies.. Trumpet.. did you count?? Yes, that is 2 years and 4 months later on the waitlist, and ALP. I promptly said yes to Trumpet and no to ALP. Because many people were putting services on hold we decided to start services with Trumpet. I will review them so if you want to see my review you can look them up. Honestly, ALP doesn't seem to be as organized and well run. Again, it's the people that make it and really love the kiddos. Yes, there is turnover with BT's, but I am not sure if that can be helped. We also did the social skills group at ALP and my son enjoyed it. By the way, they are located on 100 O'Connor Drive Suite 21 San Jose CA. I requested yelp change the address.

To whom it may concern, I will be post tbe other half of my…read morereveiw soon. Regarding my reveiw from the clinic it burdens me that the hard work that these therapists out in day in and day out go unnoticed and is tarnished by upper management and jeopardises the clinic as a whole. These following events were the turning point in my decision to leave this organization and their clinic. 8/2/2025 was the beginning of many problems to come. I was informed that my daughter Victoria and other kids were going to be moved from their standard therapy area to another area within the facility without ever informing parents of the change. We parents were also informed that client lunches were not going to be heated going forward and many kids wouldn't eat their food because their Therapists were not allowed to heat up foods. Us Parents do not feel that we were given enough notice, and this was a trend of insufficient communication from the ACD Kristy. On 8/8/2025, I had my first appointment about the lack of communication they had regarding changes in the clinic, as if felt that changes could be implemented from one day to the next - without fully communicating with parents so that they could prepare their children such drastic changes. On 9/15/2026, since there was no acknowledgement of my concerns regarding sudden and abrupt changes, i requested a meeting with my daughter's BCBA (Celia), Supervisor (Martin), the Assistant Clinical Director (Kristy) and the Regional Director (Sandhya). The team eventually agreed to give me a tour of the clinic. On 9/16/2025, one of my daughter's therapists was removed from her team due to there apparently being a problem with my daughter's hours in their system. They never clarified what the issue was but stated that it came down to authorized hours. They never clarified with me (the parent) or my daughter's therapists about why these drastic changes had to be made. Me and my daughter's therapist found out the same day, and the next day this decision was effective. This means that from one day to the next, my daughter lost her Therapist who she had so much of a relationship with. This is a huge change for a child with ASD, and I do not feel that it was handled with compassion. To this day, I and my daughter's current Therapist do not understand why there was such an abrupt change. Approximately around the end of September, Celia (Behavior Analyst on my daughter's team), left the branch and she was replaced by a woman named Jasmine Mendoza. By the end of the September to December 18th, this BCBA never reached out to the parent or introduced herself to me. She finally did after multiple times of me asking and asking to meet the new "member of group" because I started to notice negative changes in my daughter that she had never done before. This means that instead of progressing with her therapy, she was losing progress day by day. I asked for meetings with Kristy for months and never got any responses, I was ignored. Around, the beginning of November I was dropping off my daughter at the clinic for her session and we had to sign by paper to clock in and clock out. This was another new change, and as the receptionist Blanca was assisting us, Kristy walked in and started yelling at me - saying that I was not doing it correctly. This was in front of other parents and staff in the lobby. I feel that this was very unprofessional, and demeaning. I told the receptionist that if Kristy wanted to speak with me, to please do it in private and not by raising her voice to me and yelling at me. Another thing i noticed is that Kristy says that she knows Spanish and speaks fluently, but when speaking to her she constantly says she doesn't understand because I need to speak more slowly. Continuing with these issues, on 11/17/2025 they gave me a tour at 9am in the clinic. Martin and Kristy were there present, on that day I told Kristy that I had asked for a lot of meetings regarding Jasmine and that same day I asked for change in BCBA. She told me that Jasmine was a very good BCBA and was doing a very good job but I didn't agree with her opinion and she didn't want to change BCBAs. On 11/21/2025, Seeing that they denied my request for a change in BCBA I went straight to my insurance. My insurance told me that they were going to investigate the issue and asked me if I was thinking or planning to move my daughter to another clinic. I told them that I asn't because of the long waitlist most clinics have. After that, the insurance told me that it's more important for them that my daughter receives her needed services and that me as a mom should feel comfortable with the services she is receiving. They recommended that I look for a different clinic. I will attach the rest of the reveiw.
