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.

When we started working with Alison he had only 5 words and he's now such a chatterbox. He absolutely loves his weekly "playdates" with Ms. Alison at our home.

I highly recommend speech therapy with Communicating Kids Speech & Language.

She brings activities with her that he finds really engaging and he has a lot of fun in his sessions. I'm impressed by how quickly she's helped my son make progress on articulation in a short time. It's only been a few weeks and he's already starting to use his sounds independently in his speech. I also like how she always gives us homework for him to continue working on over the week. At home speech therapy is so convenient.

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!

Most of the therapists are doing their followership or find a better opportunity and leave. Our child has had 4 new speech therapists in one year. Most of the therapists at Ivy Rehab stick around 4-6 months before leaving. The therapists are actually highly motivated and involved in the sessions. Unfortunately, the consistency is not there at Ivy Rehab. Our child starts building rapport with a therapist only for them to leave. Scheduling is also a nightmare there. You have to call multiple times to get appointments as they're booked solid in the afternoons after 3pm. The front desk staff isn't great. Amil is quite easy to talk to and schedule appointments. On the other hand, Latonya is rude and always has an attitude that you can hear in her tone of voice.

Adult Companion Care (ACC) provided seamless professional, reliable, loving, and personal home care…read moreservices for our family at a time when we needed support. Within one hour of a late night online request for help (for our 92 year old father) from various agencies, a personal response (rather than computer generated) came in from Jim Lindsey (President/CEO) who suggested connecting by the phone the following day; that conversation the next day was the second huge encouragement for us as we sensed genuine interest, empathy, concern and understanding of our situation. He set up an initial home visit assessment/evaluation, and this turned out to be a wonderful experience because there was no sense of feeling rushed or pressed. In addition, everything was clear and transparent. Afterwards, we had some weeks before our need for in-home care, but we could call ACC at any point before services to have additional questions answered or to update needs or changes. From speaking to various team members, it was clear that this company worked as a respectful and well-coordinated "family". Our close-knit family is very involved in the care of our 92-year-old father, who has a good number of chronic conditions and medical/health issues that need to be understood in order to care for him properly. Complete and careful body care/hygiene, good nutrition and prevention of illness or other conditions were important for us in our short-term need for services, but much more of our concern was our father's mental health and sense of feeling secure and understood by someone outside of the home. Our mother, 88, who did not herself need physical services, nonetheless, needed someone who could reassure her and who would be sensitive emotionally to both of them, in addition to doing things she could not do for my father that required special skills. From the first time we met Fatmata, the certified nursing assistant assigned by ACC, we were immediately impressed and reassured. She was a perfect fit for us, and my mother shared that it was like having one of her daughters around. We are four sisters and one brother who provide care for our parents. In other words, the caregiver needed to fill in for over a week and take care of a man who was under the observation and love of many family members. In ACC's complimentary hour of orientation/training, the daughter, who is a nurse, was impressed by Fatmata's manner as she was exceptionally intuitive, observant, and attentive with a high level of sensitivity and compassion. Although there was some initial adjustment for my father because he was missing his regular daily caregivers, after a couple of days, he was genuinely thanking Fatmata for her help. We are deeply grateful for Adult Companion Care and their dedication, personal care, and willingness to work with us to find the best support for our father so that he could remain comfortable and safe at home. With heartfelt thanks, the Duerbecks, Macks, Greenes, Olsens, and Swailes.

The schedulers are incredibly patient, kind, and HONEST about what they can and can't do, which was such a big change. They also have some truly world class caregivers. There were some bad ones too, but in the end there were two people (Queen and Libby) who were simply incredible and were such a blessing to have caring for Mom. They have a relatively small pool of staff who can do lifting / transferring, but the ones they have are mostly good. They definitely tried to match our needs with their people, and as we provided feedback the matches got much better. They didn't have enough staff to provide full 24/7 care but worked with me as I filled the gaps with private folks. When they saw a snowstorm coming they would plan to have someone stay there for 2-3 days to prevent caregivers from not showing up due to bad road conditions. I have to subtract one star just for some of the bad caregiver experiences, and because billing turned out to be a bigger hassle with them than with other companies, but if I had to recommend a home care company in the DC area to someone else, it would without question be this one.
