I have taken my son now to Advanced Pediatric Therapies in Sparks, NV for almost 2.5 years, and the…read morechange in him is undeniably remarkable! This place is, undeniably, THE BEST!!! He has attended Speech Therapy for the entire time, Occupational Therapy for part of the time (for behavior issues that he was having--partly from the frustration of not being able to communicate his needs and wants, and partly from being diagnosed with ADHD). He also attends Vision Therapy for pediatric behavioral optometrist-diagnosed vision weaknesses, which contribute to his dyslexia, amongst other issues. First off, about Advanced Pediatric Therapies: this facility is the best of the best! I drive twice weekly from Carson to Sparks, and would do it daily if need be, because they are that good! Their front desk staff are so lovely, and Coleen, in particular, will always take the time to answer any billing question that you may have. I have NEVER seen a single person at the entire facility ever have anything but a warm, genuine smile on their face! This facility is AMAZING! Occupational therapy, Vision Therapy, probably most of Physical Therapy and Adaptive Therapy take place in the converted warehouse, which you have to see to believe! It's full of giant structures, on which different kinds of special swings, ropes, bars, inner tubes, etc can be hung. There are areas for slides, sensory bins, white boards, large open areas for riding all sorts of scooters, for skipping, hopping and climbing around different, fun, colorful obstacles! There are marbles, bean bags, trains, cars, and so much more! And everything is used in such creative ways. It's a candyland! Speech Therapy (and probably some other kinds that I don't know about), take place in large, modern offices, many of which have floor to ceiling windows looking out on to greenery. They are full of games which are incorporated in to the session. The therapists: I (my son) has worked with 2 INCREDIBLE therapists during his years at APT, and I could not possibly recommend either of them more HIGHLY!!! Megan M. (Speech Therapist): Megan is soft-spoken, but assertive with the child, and knows well how to engage the child in to talking through play during the first sessions. She is wonderful at picking up on when the child needs to be pushed, versus when the child may be getting frustrated and needs a play break. Her personality is warm, kind, empathetic, and that she truly cares about helping your child. She knows her job well, and is excellent and truly skilled at it! (We had school speech therapists before this, and he got nowhere, but he has made miraculous strides with Megan!). Kelsie (Occupational Therapist/ Vision Therapist): My son runs and jumps into Kelsie's arms every time he sees her-- lol! He adores her, because she has the ability to make everything fun, even Vision Therapy. It takes place in the converted warehouse, and she will set up "exercises" like having him swing on his stomach, Superman-style, in a net, while he has to use depth perception to grab a bean bag from her hand (as he swings by), and then throw the beanbag at a target in front of him. Another game is for him to wear an eye patch, while holding a plastic cup, and she rolls marbles on the ground at him, that he has to trap in the cup. This obviously exercises one eye much harder, as depth perception is taken away by wearing the eye patch. Kelsie is kind, bubbly, caring, and extremely creative! APT takes insurance, but they also sometimes have some deals if they don't take your insurance. (You'd have to ask.) They are absolutely worth ever penny! Early intervention is key, and this is where you are going to get the best care, hands down! You may have to go on a waiting list to get in, but do it! You won't be sorry!!!

We celebrated our yearaversary recently and I can unequivocally say that this is the best decision…read moreI have ever made. The whole office is sweet and kind and do everything to help my family to be better. The gym is gigantic and full of fun incentives for the kids to earn should they be good in their session. I am grateful for every word my kids speak. Telehealth during COVID was difficult but we made it work. The speech pathologists are always learning and open to new ways to help kids. Thank you is not enough to express my appreciation for these wonderful angels

I brought my 9-year-old daughter to Radiant Child out of pure desperation. After years of play…read moretherapy, counseling, and psychiatric treatment, she was still living in a constant state of worry. Her anxiety and OCD tendencies had become so overwhelming that she washed her hands until her skin was raw. We felt like we had tried everything, yet nothing seemed to bring lasting relief. Then we started a 12-week program with Whitney. By week four, the compulsive handwashing had completely stopped. By week ten, she accomplished something she'd dreamed about for years but had always been too afraid to do--she got her ears pierced. By the end of the program, she was sleeping peacefully again, willing to try new things, and smiling with a confidence we hadn't seen in years. Most importantly, it felt like we got our little girl back. Our fearless, curious preemie was finally shining through again. As a parent, there is nothing more heartbreaking than watching your child struggle and feeling powerless to help. Radiant Child gave our family hope when we had almost run out of it. If you've tried everything and still feel like you're missing the final piece of the puzzle, please consider Radiant Child. It truly changed our lives, and I will be forever grateful.

Before my daughter started seeing Ms. Whitney, she was struggling in school and her life was ruled…read moreby her anxiety. She absolutely loved going to her appointments- the hardest part was getting her to leave at the end of each session. Ms. Whitney is very calm and caring and gave us recommendations on how to help with all kinds of issues from sleep to tummy troubles. Whitney also recommended my daughter see Dr. Kim at Kindred Care Chiropractic and after 12 weeks seeing them both, my daughter is more confident and happier.
