After receiving a referral from our primary care doctor we searched all around for a speech clinic…read morefor my toddler. It took us a couple of weeks to find one without a long waitlist that could see him in a reasonable amount of time. I consider us very lucky to have been placed with Brittany at Speech and Play. It's a long drive for us but it's well worth it. She has done a fantastic job helping my toddler become confident to speak and practice sounds. He is now communicating much more clearly leading to less meltdowns and a happier kid! The Speech Therapists here truly care about children and work hard to help them practice their speech all while having fun. It has always been fun and the attitudes of the staff has always been pleasant and lighthearted. After nearly 12 months we are now at the point where we will be attending monthly instead of weekly because of how far my toddler has come in his speech development so I thought it was a good time to leave this beaming review. Without Brittany we would've been struggling for a long time to help our toddler and we are forever grateful for her efforts and skill that has resulted in his success. Thank you thank you! We will miss her when we completely wrap up his standing appointments.

Ashley is constantly engaging her team in various training opportunities to ensure they remain relevant and up to date on the most recent research and methods. Highly recommend!

We were seeing Dr. Waters for my 3-year old son's speech delay and everything started out fine--he…read moretrusted her quickly and enjoyed the play-based learning. However, around the 6th session he got very frustrated during a task and threw a toy at her. No one was injured and of course throwing like that is never okay. However, her response was to abruptly end the session--she literally said, "You need to grab your purse and leave". We left quickly and without protest in shock. I left a voicemail and two emails asking if we could chat about the situation before she responded 5 days later and she showed zero empathy or vested interest in us. She said that situation is a time for parenting, not speech therapy, and she just doesn't deal with it. We started speech therapy so that he can find his words and here was an opportunity to teach and I felt we were punished for the exact thing we were seeking her help to improve. I spoke to at least 4 other speech therapists to get their opinion and all of them said they would never just end a session like that (particularly because he wasn't throwing a tantrum--it was a single act of frustration and then he looked to her for a response and because of his age) and one even said RUN from that type of provider. At that point, the trust was gone and we ended all future services.

We came to see Dr. Anna Waters exactly two years ago for severe apraxia. The only word my daughter,…read morewho was two years and 4 months at the time, could say was "mama". It took us a few months to master "up" and "in". Dr Waters told us from the beginning that our daughter will speak. One of our first goals was to pronounce two syllable words correctly in a year's period of time. We were there in six months. Dr Waters incorporated innovative sensory integration technique called PROMPT into our sessions and saw us 2-3 times per week. Now, two years later, my daughter utters 3-5-4 word sentences like "Mama how was your day?" and "what is this?". She even said lately "mama called and doctor said no monkey in the bed". Her speech and language continue to rapidly improve. Dr Waters is effective and passionate about what she does, always available to talk to, and truly cares about her patients. She goes well beyond your typical medical practice in presenting your child's case to the insurance, providing you with first class care and helping your child to develop its true potential. Very talented and dedicated therapist and a wonderful person.

We first met Shelley 5 years ago when she was working with a Pediatric Therapy group in Portland…read more She worked with our Son (who at the time was completely non-verbal and suspected to be on the Autism Spectrum). When the therapy focus had changed for our son, and he received speech therapy in school, we no longer saw Shelley. Fast forward 5 years to our son becoming verbal (very limited), transitioning from preschool (where he received more services on a regular basis) to kindergarten (where he receives practically zero therapy services). It is imperative that our son receive therapy, both occupational and speech. We contacted the therapy group we had been to before to find that Shelley left to start her own practice. We didn't have to think twice. We went to Shelley Molinaro. It has been about a year now and we have seen amazing progress (as has Shelley). Her approach is fantastic. One-on-one, hands on, intuitive, and respectful of the clients she works with, I am always left with a wonderful feeling after each session. I highly recommend Shelley to any parent who is searching for Speech Therapy for their child(ren).

If your child experiencing speech and/or other delays keep away from this filthy fake and damaging…read moreinstitution dedicated to worse any condition and proceeding even healthy person to disability. My poor son was attending sh#thole (it happen only because I am European and was absolutly not prepared for service literally damaging people's health) for a little bit over year, having no any delays besides no speech. Over this year I had all possible issues getting information about what they teach him, no any activities which include parents, no any organized parental meeting, literally, by this day I have no ideas what my son was doing there. In few months red flags started showing up. For example, my son came home once without coat (in January), and later he came home few times being dressed not the way he left home. What's for somebody undressed my child for no reason?? Still hope, no sexual assault happened. Last drop was when child eventually started talking. After nobody responded to any of my mails about his progress and finally acquired desire to study I demanded permit to come and have a look with my own eyes, what they do to children. What I saw still makes me shake in hate and desperate anger: they don't teach kids anything. Few kids with different levels of disability were running chaoticly and like 3 obese employees tried to stop them from hurting themselves. That's all. They don't explain anything to kids, don't correct inappropriate behavior, don't even do any typical arts and crafts with kids. Just watching kids from hurting. That what I saw as a visitor, I guess, they were "prepared". What they do, when nobody sees, who knows! After I left classroom and shocked was standing in lobby, some employees told me following: "if you want your son to learn, you must go and find personal therapist". It took me freaking year to figure it out. My son lost a whole year which is so important at so young age! Besides that I must mention, that my poor son completely ruined his health there: he was and he is now a very healthy person, never been sick more than 4 days per year. During attending IE classes he never ever was good. He had to drink cold syrup like he drinks juice! Of course, it was the last time, any of us stepped into this hell. After I demanded my child's paperwork, I was shocked to find out, that they proceeded him as "mute", which he never was, and "aggressive" which is disgusting lie. My son never hurt anybody in his live, not a person, not an animal, moreover: he used to babysit his sister, when im busy around house, which is only few months old! He is the last person on earth to call "aggressive "! "Principal" if to call her so, told me, as her final goodbye:"you will need us to proceed your kid to disability". I wish her to get disability herself every day since after. As soon, as we got rid of them, my son made unbelievable progress: he stopped being sick all the time, started building sentences up to 10 words, responding questions, building dialogues, learned to draw, glue, work with scissors, learned to write, learned alphabet, learned his and ours names, ages, our address and many more. It happened in only 4 months and it happened against and in spite of all IE efforts to make him disabled, so, services, like them, can make profit. Be aware of Beaverton Early Intervention! If you love your child and care about his future, DO NOT GO TO IE!!!! Find help anywhere else and work yourself too!! Repeat: be aware of IE!!!! They make healthy people sick!!! Remarkable, that they turned off reviews on Google, after I posted mine. If I could give them negative, it would be -1000 out of 10 UPDATE!!!! BE AWARE OF FAKE POSITIVE REVIEW!!! Look into account, that left it: person is marked as living in CA, has only 1 review and it's or fake account, or one of employees. If there are other victims of this scam, please, mail me. At present moment I'm looking if it's at least possible to organize any checking of their activity. Be aware of any positive reviews. Look at profile, that left it: where person lives, when registered, how many reviews person has. If you read positive review about Beaverton IE, it's or paid fake, or one of employees, or parents if child, who was actually never autustic. Most people, attending this place, have poor social and educational background or not speaking English good and can be easily tricked by IE scammers, which do all efforts to misdiagnose, and ZERO effort to educate. BE AWARE OF BEAVERTON IE. IF YOU LOVE YOUR CHILD AND CARE ABOUT YOUR CHILD'S FUTURE, KEEP AWAY AS FAR, AS YOU CAN AND EVEN FURTHER.
