We appreciate how honest the therapist was about how she didn't see any underlying concerns with her in this area and was not pushy about continuing therapy sessions. But we did discuss perhaps occupational therapy to help her with feeding for future development. So we booked a few feeding OT sessions with Nadia and my daughter was in love with her from day 1. She was kind, patient and instantly connected with our daughter in trying to pin point the best way to encourage her to open up on how she interacts with food. Would highly recommend.

My son has been attending speech therapy sessions at Fairfax Pediatric Therapy since early January…read more He is almost 9 and has always struggled with his "s," "sh," and "ch" sounds - but we waited to see if he would grow out of it (he didn't). On recommendation of our dentist, we tried some videos to help him with speech, but we were not successful on our own. After a Zoom call with Ariel and Ahmad, the speech therapist, we felt very confident and comfortable with Fairfax Pediatric Therapy. After the first session, my son made huge strides in his "sh" sounds - he was actually able to articulate it correctly, even if it was a struggle. Long story short, as of today (3 months after starting) Finn has met all of his speech goals and no longer needs the services. Both Ahmad and Finn worked hard to make this happen - and in such a short time. I didn't expect progress so fast, to be honest. Not only that - my kiddo actually looked forward to the sessions. Ahmad took the time to get to know his interests - chess and strategy games - and built the sessions around play. When we left today, for the last time, Finn said he was going to miss his friend. We have had the best experience! Thank you.

You can find a variety of support folks along with programs. Everyone here does it as a calling. It's something special to see. For your kids and all, may everyone continue to thrive.

Our service…read morecoordinator, Meghann McConnell was truly wonderful from the start of the process all the way up to the end of our services. The intake evaluation is quite long, but the team at ITC was so warm and personable that my 2-year old was able to sit through it with no issues at all. The team is incredibly knowledgeable about toddler speech development and patiently, expertly, and compassionately answered all of my questions after the intake. They provide such a comprehensive evaluation that makes you feel like you're in good hands right from the get-go. The speech therapist we were connected with, through Therapy 4 Kids, Chandra Williams, was truly exceptional in providing me with a tailored toolkit to help my son catch up in his language development. She is very intelligent, intuitive, personable, and our sessions seemed to fly-by. I implemented her suggestions week to week and noticed a monumental improvement in my sons speech in just a couple of months. He went from "atypical" language development to catching up to his peers in such a short time frame and I credit that improvement to Chandra's expert support. My son loved his sessions with Chandra, and would often cry when she left. Throughout the entire process, Meghann McConnell checked in periodically to follow-up and see how the sessions were going, which was very much appreciated and made us feel well taken care of. I can't say enough good things about ITC and will be forever grateful to them for supporting my son as he overcame this challenge.

We called and had to go on a wait list because there are a lot of people who are going through the same thing; but once we were able to receive services, we are so grateful to everyone at Achieve Beyond for working so tirelessly with my son! He's so much more communicative and functional now. When our other child got diagnosed, it was a no brainer. My kids love it there and they love their therapists and BCBAs so much. Achieve Beyond has always gone above and beyond to ensure the best care for my children and great partners to teach us how to help our kids at home.

Of all the ABA providers I called, this clinic was BY FAR the WORST when it came to inquiring for…read moreservices. The person on the phone was condescending, dismissive, and borderline rude. Not to mention that the want you to fill out TONS of paperwork and provide copies of your identification when it will be over a year before they even see you for an evaluation. Paperwork that, by the time they finally grace you with their attention in 12-18 months, will no longer be relevant. They seriously need to reevaluate their intake process and ESPECIALLY who they have representing them on the phone. It is hard enough dealing with a new autism diagnosis and finding ABA services. Don't make it harder on parents with attitude and an unnecessarily complicated process. So glad we found a different provider who was actually helpful and compassionate.

I have been coming here for post-op speech therapy for well over a month now. The place is…read moreconveniently located inside INOVA Fairfax hospital and is accessible via the Blue Entrance. And yes, they offer validated parking, whoop whoop. The ladies at the reception desk are very warm and welcoming as well as very accommodating with whatever your needs are. Whether I have dealt with them face to face or on the phone, they are always super pleasant, polite and helpful. The waiting room is set up to occupy both kiddos and adults alike so there is something to keep everyone busy for the incredible and unheard-of super short wait before you are seen by your therapist. Can I get an AMEN to that!!! I have been seeing Susan Dixon, MS, CCC-SLP aka "Susie" and she is soooooo wonderful. She put me right at ease and was super empathetic with what all I had gone through and was going to continue to go through. Even though I often (ok always, lol) feel like an idiot doing the exercises required for the therapy and I joked that I don't like it, she is so much fun that you can't help but feel comfortable and cared for in her very capable hands. (I also pray there is no hidden camera somewhere catching my goofball self in action, JK!) The offices are very clean and tidy and they also have a very large room that is fully equipped for physical therapy and they offer both in-patient and out-patient treatment for all their services. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of their rehabilitation services.

My oldest graduated from her speech class today and the difference in how she talks is INCREDIBLE in less than 3 months. Janine was also the one to tell us (before our pediatrician!) that my daughter has enlarged tonsils, which was also affecting her speech. Janine really genuinely cares for her students and has made a profound impact on my daughter. I have 2 other kids who I will definitely sign up if they start to encounter the same speech problems. We love Janine!

Janine was great, she's attentive, patient, and engaging when playing and helping my son with his speech. She would provide tips and exercises to practice at home when not in therapy.

However, within few months, I can see big improvement in my son's speech. He went from using one word communication, to 2 words. Now he's singing songs, even though I can only understand half of the lyrics. :)

After years of searching for the right solution, I feel like we hit the jackpot. I had started to wonder if my daughter my struggle with speech articulation for the rest of her life and literally in 9 months, I now have people asking why she's even in speech. Katie is warm, nurturing, incredibly talented, motivating, and such a wonderful role model to my daughter. She's inspired my 6-year-old to want to be a speech pathologist to help people just like Katie has helped her. If you have the opportunity to use OWLS Therapy, particularly Katie McLaughlin, for your child, run, don't walk -- you won't regret it!

Janene and Karen were always professional and immediately addressed any questions or concerns I had. I was extremely satisfied with the company as a whole and with Karen's therapy services. My child always looked forward to karen's sessions. I like how they can come to your home, daycare, or provide virtual sessions. Karen provided written summaries of each session and activities/goals to work on at home. The only reason we stopped services was because we moved to a different state- otherwise we'd still be using them! I did a lot of research/trial sessions into other Northern Virginia offices and I am so glad we went with OWLs!

Our journey started with a thorough evaluation and a clear, personalized plan to help expand our son's language skills -- and it truly worked. We began seeing improvement within just a few weeks, and now, a little over a year later, the transformation is incredible. Ms. Sonika met our son exactly where he was. She struck the perfect balance in sessions -- warm and flexible, yet firm when needed. She set age-appropriate expectations and boundaries, and gently but consistently encouraged him to reach them week after week. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that speech therapy has changed our son's life. He can now express himself confidently and has the language skills to engage in meaningful conversations with friends and family. We are beyond grateful for Ms. Sonika. Our time in therapy has come to an end, and our boy is leaving confident, capable, and well equipped for the future. We couldn't have asked for a better therapist.
