South Coast Therapy is amazing. Prior to South Coast Therapy, we really struggled finding a…read moretherapist that understood how to work with my son due to his escape behaviors (eloping) and sensory challenges. We tried several places and were getting nowhere with his therapy. He was even "let go" from a few places because they couldn't figure out how to get him to cooperate! It was unbelievable and I was so discouraged. Finally, we discovered South Coast Therapy. What a difference! There was no threat of "letting him go" due to non-compliance in any of their paperwork or sign up protocol and they were extremely supportive of his needs! After meeting Grace for OT the first time, I knew that she not only cared about what she was doing and about him, but she had the correct tools and techniques to help regulate him and motivate him to work/play! At this center, you get a scheduled time and get to see the same therapist (I know some places, don't provide a slot and you have to keep calling or you get different therapists or assistants to the therapist) at each appointment. This is HUGE for kids like my son who need routine and relationship to move forward. The less change the better when it comes to his therapy! However, if you have to reschedule or if they don't have a standing appt. at start up, they are great at helping you find a day and time that will work and ALL of their therapists are just as well trained and efficient in getting through the behaviors. We have been there for 5 years now and my son is thriving! He is learning life skills such as how to brush and floss his teeth, put on his shoes, bathe, zip up a zipper, close and open a button and so much more. The best part is...he LOVES going and he loves Ms. Grace! If you have a child that has been getting nowhere in their therapy or is being "tolerated" rather than loved, seen, and cared for... you have found your new therapy center! Your child will learn to do things here and get past the difficult times! You will not be disappointed!

He thrives here. He's made so much progress with both gross motor skills and occupational skills! He gets physical therapy from Byn and Jonathan who are the best!!! Both of them are so good with my son and have really helped him improve! He loves them and is always asking to go "play" with Byn and Jonathan! He also gets occupational therapy from Ms.Patty, who is also so great! She is really sweet and has helped my son grow so much! The office staff is Also so responsive and helpful! I could not ask for a greater place for my son's therapy and we will be so sad when he finally graduates and we can't see these amazing people anymore!

I can't recommend Apple Tree enough! The staff there have helped my son immensely and they are all…read moreso nice and patient with him. He came in with a speech delay and no real social connection to anyone other than immediate relatives, but he's come to love it there. He actually gets excited to go and see his teachers and has memorized all the songs they sing to him. He even transitions from one activity to the next without major meltdowns as he used to. We previously tried a different speech and learning center and my son would dread going. He would have outbursts in the waiting room and not want to participate (even though the staff there seemed just as nice). But there's something about Apple Tree's structure, environment, and teaching methods that really resonate with him. They even have a parent coach and send out newsletters with helpful information that makes navigating a child with delays seem a little less daunting. Plus being able to be in the classroom with him to see him interacting and learning new techniques to manage stressful situations has helped all of us. On top of all that, we started this going to Apple Tree in the middle of COVID, and yet the precautions they take make me comfortable enough to send my 2yo there. All the teachers and therapists there seem to really enjoy what they do and it shows in the improvements my son has made.

She has been working with my son since November 2025, and the progress we've seen has been truly incredible. Ms. Kathleen does an amazing job explaining her plan, how she works with the kids, and what goals they're focusing on. She really takes the time to make you feel comfortable and confident in the process. She has also given me such valuable advice as a parent, which I truly appreciate. At one point, I asked her if increasing speech therapy to twice a week would help because, as a parent, I felt his progress was slower than I expected. It's hard not to compare your child to others. Ms. Kathleen gently encouraged me to trust the process. She reminded me that he is also in OT, ABA, and daycare, and that we work with him at home -- and that too much therapy could exhaust him. I appreciated her honesty and professionalism. I'm so glad I trusted her guidance. Since then, he has made so much progress, and I couldn't be happier with the team supporting him. I truly cannot say enough great things about Ms. Kathleen. She is an amazing therapist who genuinely puts her heart into her work, and it shows in the care and dedication she gives to every child. Highly recommend

Since the first time they met they have been besties, my son knows which days he sees Ms. Alyssa and starts to get excited the closer we get to her office. My son has a severe speech delay and since starting with Ms. Alyssa he has improved every session, he knows to guide us to what he wants, communicates with his AAC device and also can say around 10 words and sounds! Which for an autism parent, you know how big that is. Everyone i've met at Thrive have been a god send and now Ms. Joy will take over services for my sons younger brother. I can not thank Thrive enough for all the support and help they have provided and the care that has gone into my children's learning.

We have completed a 6 month therapy commitment and this is what I would gladly share about our experience. My first contact was with Luis, friendly, kind and always on top of things.

She is cheerful, friendly, personable, keeps the place tidy, cheerful and very client friendly. I found her professional and authentically cares about children; it shows. Our speech therapist- very friendly, caring, professional and always stuck to our plan for helping my child. My child loved seeing her every week and I believe she learned many skills from her therapist. My child improved in many areas in just 6 months. I'm aware everyones needs are very different, but this agency helped my child and is everything I want to see in an agency. I really appreciated having the same appointment every week; unlike other places where every week you need to literally have to be squeezed in whenever the agency has a space for you. Spacious parking, close to the freeway and always clean a plus. Speechful you are exactly what a professional agency should look like. I thank you all and if we ever need services again I would return for care at your establishment. Best wishes to all of y

And your comment addresses none of it. A paragraph on interpreters. A paragraph on family involvement. Nothing about chasing your staff for a reply. Nothing about walking away from a parent standing in front of you. That's not a misunderstanding that's a script you just made up. Learning Tree is great.
