Marcy (who works in the front desk) is very knowledgeable about the regional center and has contacts to help expedite the process. We've worked with Brittney for about a year and a half, and she has been instrumental in helping my daughter gain the confidence and skills to work on her expression. The therapy is play based and she makes it fun! We consider her more than our therapist, but a friend. Cheryl is amazing as well. She is sweet and is great at getting shy kids to open up. If you're looking for a speech therapy center in the Pasadena/La Canada area look no further!!

If you have any questions regardind their services don't hesitate to call them Marci the recepcionist will give you all the necessary information and make you feel that you are in the best place to help your little ones grow.

My son received physical therapy and occupational therapy at CDK…read more I cannot express my gratitude enough. The care he received was instrumental to his development and the progress he made throughout his crucial toddler years. We are lucky to have worked with Cathy who provided us with a partnership that allowed us to understand our son's experience and figure out how we could better support him as well. The entirety of the supporting staff were extremely helpful and kind too! I would not normally leave such a personal review but I don't want people to judge this facility based on their yelp ratings. Being a parent of a child that needs support services can be difficult and confusing enough. This is a great facility and the years of therapy that my son received at CDK truly made all the difference.

Gaby talked to my wife on the phone for 20 minutes and was extremely helpful, not even pushing us to book an appointment but truly just trying to help. We ended up scheduling an appointment for the next day. We came in with so many concerns and questions and a lot of anxiety around the decision of whether or not do a frenectomy. Both Gaby and Maria (occupational therapist) took their time with us, did a very thorough assessment with our son, made us feel a lot more at ease about the whole process and were extremely informative. They were so good with him and knew exactly what to look for. They shared lots of context and experience with us along the way. We felt like they had a very human and unbiased approach to everything, including sharing their own personal experiences as parents themselves. We came away feeling at peace about what to do next, which for us was to not to do the surgery and just focus on developmental exercises at home. The office was really cute, clean, and had a nice atmosphere too. My wife and I walked out and immediately said we have to write a review because it was such an incredible experience. Plus, this practice deserves way more reviews than it has! Thank you for really helping us out and making us feel so much better about a tough decision.

We found Gaby in June of 2023, shortly after our son turned four, and from their very first…read moremeeting, she made an immediate and comforting connection with him. She was incredibly kind, patient, and intuitive, which put both our son and us at ease. After just a few sessions, we began noticing our son using more language and becoming genuinely excited to communicate what he was learning with Gaby. He started expressing his wants and needs more confidently, which was such a meaningful milestone for our family. Gaby has truly been a godsend. She is professional, extremely knowledgeable, and has an amazing ability to meet our son exactly where he is while still encouraging growth. When we weren't able to bring our son to her clinic, she was more than willing to make house visits, which meant so much to us. After 2.5 years, our son has developed an incredible amount of language and is now able to speak much more clearly in full words and sentences. We strongly believe that true inclusion requires flexibility, generosity, and a willingness to meet children where they are while maintaining a growth mindset--and that is exactly what Gaby embodies. We are beyond grateful for her and highly recommend her services. We love you Ms. Gaby!

My son just graduated out of speech and we are over the moon…read more As I'm writing this, I'm reflecting on the mind blowing progress my son has made in just 3 years with the incredible help of Mrs. Teresa. When we first started here, my son was speech delayed and no one understood the few words he did say. Mrs. Teresa was able to target his problem areas and gave my son the tools he needed to communicate clearly and effectively. Mrs. Teresa is kind, gentle, patient, stern when needed, and truly invested in my son's growth and progress. They worked hard together during sessions, and she always rewarded my son with play time at the end which he appreciated. She always pushed and challenged him -- every session the improvement was undeniable. My son is a better speaker, a more confident communicator, and is able to focus and apply himself so much more now. I have a daughter at a different clinic who has now seen several different therapists, and I truly don't think with them all combined they could do what Mrs. Teresa does. She is an expert in the field and my son and I were truly blessed to work with her! Shout out to Miss Rosa who runs a tight ship! She truly keeps everything running smoothly, handles everything from scheduling to billing to whatever else falls on her lap, and she always does it with a welcoming and warm smile. She's the first and last face we see -- the face of the company. It's bitter sweet to say goodbye. Thank you sooooo much to Mrs. Teresa & Miss Rosa for being a part of our lives for the past 3 years.

I hired Grace for a speech eval and she recommended weekly speech therapy. We had two sessions at our home. I learned how to help my daughter make more sounds through play.

I would definitely recommend Grace to anyone that needs in home speech therapy for their child.

I noticed my son wasn't talking like his peers and even though he was still quite young, early intervention has made such a big difference for us and I owe it all to Grace. Flash forward two years later and my son can express himself and be understood. We used Grace in addition to Regional Services and I will say that it made a big difference for us to also use Grace and get more individualized attention. Grace really involves the parent in every session, teaching you simple strategies to incorporate in your day to day to promote speech and sounds. Every week, my son wanted to see Grace because of her gentle approach and the creative ways she used play for therapy. Grace is extremely knowledgable- She always explains the "why" and looks at the WHOLE child which I think is so important.

But with the help of the wonderful & genuine speech therapist at Jabberdogs within 6 months he has made SO MUCH progress and is now saying 5+ word sentences and improving more and more. Ms. Samantha has been helping our son since day one and she goes ABOVE and BEYOND what is expected. The therapists would even give us parents tools and methods we could help practice with our kiddos. Ms. Anna, Ms. Megan and even Ms. Stephanie have been so helpful with our son's journey as well. There was a season where we were going back and forth with different therapists but that was because they were trying to accommodate US when my son started preschool. Management has been so flexible, understanding & accommodating to my family as we navigate our changing schedules. They also keep all the rooms, and areas well kept and clean with lots of books and toys in the waiting area. There is also ample parking at the location as well as free Wifi connection for parents that need to work while waiting for their kiddos. The Jabberdogs team has been so kind and welcoming to my whole family. We are so blessed to have their team help my son out and begin his speech therapy here. If any parent is considering them for their speech service, look no further! I guarantee you will not regret it

She has truly been a light throughout our special needs journey -- kind, patient, professional, and always believing in our daughter's potential. Thanks to Ms. Jess' guidance, our daughter's receptive language has blossomed. She understands so much more and engages with the world around her in beautiful new ways. We continue to work together on expressive communication, and every step forward is a victory we celebrate together. What sets Ms. Jess apart is her genuine dedication. She goes above and beyond to learn more about our daughter's AAC device and Proloquo software, making sure she can communicate in ways that feel natural and empowering. She takes time to individualize every activity and helps us as parents feel confident continuing those strategies at home. Ms. Jessica's compassion, creativity, and commitment make her one in a million. For any family seeking an exceptional speech therapist who truly cares, I can't recommend her enough.

People need to know the truth!…read more My son has been receiving speech therapy at Recess Therapy for over 2 1/2 years, and while the speech therapist he sees is wonderful and has done great work with him, the company itself has become a huge disappointment since the new ownership took over. Communication with parents has been almost nonexistent, and it feels like the focus is more on money than on patient care. The therapy sessions, which were once thorough and beneficial, are now rushed and too short to truly meet my son's needs. This is especially difficult when running late, as there's no flexibility or understanding. Their late cancellation policy is unreasonable, demanding cancellations 24 hours in advance, but it's nearly impossible to get in touch with anyone. Today was the final straw. My son showed up for his scheduled appointment, only to find out that it had been canceled. There was no call, no voicemail, no communication beforehand. This left my son confused and upset, as he couldn't understand why he wasn't seen for his session. It's incredibly frustrating to waste time and gas when services aren't provided as expected. Despite the great work of my son's therapist, I can no longer trust the company. It's clear they're more focused on profits than providing quality care to families. I would NOT recommend Recess Therapy to anyone.
