Why 5 stars? Because bringing our son here was the best thing we ever did for him.
--- --- ---
The first 3-4 years of our son's life were pretty challenging because he was prone to some frequent Olympic level meltdowns when things weren't going his way. After a couple of attempts, we eventually got an official diagnosis of Autism, which allowed us to have access to ABA therapy. Despite the fact that he loved the daycare he was in, we transitioned and enrolled him full-time at Behavioral Innovations.
Within literally one, maybe two weeks, we already noticed a big difference at home. He suddenly was able to regulate his emotions so much better. I don't know how these folks do it, but they are true miracle workers. They also helped immensely with potty training, something that we attempted to do on our own and it did not work out well for us.
Our son went to BI for one year and everything about the experience was amazing. He's basically a new person, and all for the better. If you are looking into ABA therapy, we cannot recommend this location strongly enough. Alyssa was our BCBA and there was so many great therapists that worked with our son: Nadia, (two different) Megan's, (two different) Chris's, Jennifer, and countless others.
My advice to parent's who are considering ABA therapy...
1) You may read some negatives about ABA, as we did. But I can confidently say that we had a 100% positive experience here. Maybe that's not the case for everyone, but for us, there are no horror stories to share.
2) We toured every facility in the area and ultimately landed on BI. While it was not the closest to our house (I literally drove right past another facility every day en route to BI), I'm so glad we ended up coming here. The people deeply care here. To the point where many tears were shed on our son's last day because they were going to miss him.
While we're so happy that our son is off to pre-school, we're also so sad that we won't get to see everyone's smiling faces here on a daily basis anymore.
Thank you Behavioral Innovations for everything! read more
