Our Daughter was diagnosed late and their initial availability was in April but when she got…read moreapproved by Harbor Regional Center for services they had an opening within a month (February). In the first 2 months there she made tremendous progress with her speech and behavior. After that her progress was slower but she still made progress. She was there MWF for 2.5hrs. We had to take her out when she turned 3 in July and is now at our local district "early learning" program where she continues to make progress. We had Carly's class. The staff were all great and happy and cheerful to all the kids. I think PTN employees all have their own "circle time" memorizing not only kids names but parents as well. New employees would know who I was and even the upper level staff knew my name. I must credit all of the staff and teamwork that goes into making PTN work. The staffing level feels like 1:1 most of the time because they have aids and volunteers. Their open door policy lets parents be with their child all the time if they wish. I only had 3 problems: 1. I was supposed to take off work a little bit for their trike time they have once a week but the therapist in charge of it didn't show up to work. The staff (not Carly) said it would probably be the next day so I stayed a little while then too but they didn't go on trikes. The day after that I asked them and they said they probably won't go on trikes till the next month. It caused me some time at work. 2. Their respite rendezvous lets parents drop off their kids (usually night time) once a month for about 4 hours. Enough for dinner and a movie. You have to sign up as slots fill up fast. They do allow older siblings go so one time there were a lot of older kids running around and knocking my daughter over and the rooms got very crowded. After that it was never that full and our Daughter had a pleasant time at respite rendezvous. 3. Parking spaces are small and most parents have an SUV. Getting kids in/out of your car may be difficult when it's drop-off/pickup time. To this day when i show my daughter the group picture she took on her last day she stares at all the faces remembering the good times.

UPDATE (October 2026): I originally gave this clinic 5…read morestars back in 2024, but I am updating this to share what has transpired. Management has actively attempted to suppress patient feedback by falsely reporting my previous factual update to get it taken down (see attached screenshot from Yelp HQ). Instead of addressing administrative errors and continuous care for special needs children, they choose to censor parents. While the individual therapists are sweet, the front office and management at Bright Steps (formerly Thrive) have made taking my kids here a nightmare. Parents shouldn't have to maintain extensive paper trails to protect themselves from a clinic that should be supporting their family.If you are a parent looking into this clinic, especially for special needs care, here is what you need to know: Endless Staff Turnover & Lapses in Care: They cannot maintain therapists or office staff. My two autistic sons have had to restart with new therapists continuously. We have dealt with double-booked appointments and actual gaps in their care due to chaotic staffing. Messy Administrative & Billing Practices: When our insurance changed, I notified the front office immediately, but records were not updated properly. Charges sat unmonitored for months, payments were misapplied between my sons' accounts, and billing records were subsequently altered after I raised concerns. Abrupt Discontinuation of Care for Autistic Children: To top it off, management abruptly froze both of my sons' therapy appointments over internal administrative and clerical disputes that originated on their end. As special needs parents, we fight hard enough every day for our children. We shouldn't have to fight our therapy clinic too. Withholding therapy from autistic children over front-office mistakes is unethical. Save yourself the stress and find a clinic that actually values your family.

My child and I both needed help with certain milestones and sensory development, and we were…read morereferred to SpeechComm through our insurance company. We've had such a wonderful experience here! The front office staff is always kind, welcoming, and patient -- they make scheduling and check-ins so easy. Our therapist, Christina, was incredible. She was patient, compassionate, and truly made an effort to get to know my child personally. She found common interests and built genuine rapport, which helped my child feel comfortable and excited for each session. Christina's warmth and ability to engage made a huge difference in my child's progress. Even though we only worked directly with her, it's clear that all the therapists share the same enthusiasm and care for the kids they work with. I highly recommend SpeechComm to any parent looking for therapy, sensory therapy, or developmental support for their child. They genuinely care, and it shows in every visit!

The Center specializes in hand rehab/therapy so I am so glad my surgeon referred me here. I came…read morehere for some physical therapy after having carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand. My thumb pad had atrophied because of this, so my hand and grip was very weak. You first come into the office for full assessment and then they determine your course of treatment and how often you come. Kim did my assessment and was my lead therapist for the first part of my therapy. I came two times a week, and rarely had to wait for my appointment. I had a mix of heat treatments, strength exercises, ultrasound and massage. She was wonderful to work with and very skilled at this work. When Kim left on maternity leave, I was handed over to Katie who was also very good. I had therapy for about 2 months and had great improvement in my strength and flexibility in my hand. The entire office staff and therapy assistants were all helpful and pleasant. I would highly recommend the Center to anyone needing these types of rehab.

They even ask in their policy to not bring in sick kids. However they do not care if your child is sick. We did not want to bring our 101 degree fever baby in and possibly get others sick (which she got the the fever the night before her appointment ) We called them first thing in the morning about our baby being sick and could not make the appointment and it seemed like they were understanding. Got an invoice a week later for cancelling day of cause my baby was sick. So bring your sick kids to the appointment if you do not want to get charged!!! Asked them to cancel the invoice because of the circumstances and they said no. What a joke of a company. Update: The response from the business still did not mention that in their policy to not bring in your child if they are sick. So it's a win-win for them. Make sure if your sessions are cut short that you don't pay full price for the session or that if they have to cancel on you for an emergency, make sure to invoice them for using your "time and resources". They don't care except getting paid. They said "Not about profit" but won't cancel the invoice cause a child got sick the night before. Children get sick and they don't seem to understand. Seems like greed to me! Again, what a joke.

Everybody loves Julie. Including me. Especially me. She saved us during the pandemic when I was…read morestressing out about my 18 month old not speaking and not signing, with no way of seeing therapists in person. She was the only one who responded to me since clearly, the pandemic has done a number on many other babies/toddlers as well and every speech practice was slammed. I found her through Yelp as well as personal recommendations from other parents so I already knew she was dependable and trustworthy. On top of that, she is personable, funny, and most importantly, responsive. She reached out to Kaiser's staff speech therapist on our behalf in order to get us switched over from the vendor we were originally referred to, which was such a lifesaver because if you have any experience with Kaiser, you'd know you can never get in touch with anyone directly. She got everything sorted for us and within a couple of weeks (which again, is super fast in Kaiser world), we were scheduled to start Zoom with Ms Amy. We loved her but Zoom with a taby (toddler baby) is what it is - limited. But we were hopeful about more progress in-person and had hoped to continue with Ms Amy once STP reopened but the scheduling just didn't work out. We were a little nervous and hesitant to go with Ms Reanna in person but omg looking back, it was all wasted energy. My taby loved (still loves) Reanna passionately (sometimes to the point where I wonder if...more than me??) Ms. Reanna is just the perfect mix of fun, discipline, and patience for her. She is firm when she needs to be (which was often back then) and is silly and creative when the session allows for it. We have been going to speech for almost 2 yrs and have seen other therapists (who have all been great as well) at STP due to scheduling but she will always prefer Reanna. We went from having fears that she would be non-verbal to now not being able to get her to stop talking. She just will notstoptalking lol. And as a parent, that is both joyful and stressful but I digress. The tools that we have learned at STP and the people that we have met here are worth staying up and writing a long review about. Because Julie and her team deserve all the credit and accolades. Most of all, they deserve to know how much their clients appreciate them and they deserve more families to love on as well.

Help Me Grow Speech is an INCREDIBLE resource for parents of young kids. When my son was around 18…read moremonths, I was worried that he was a little behind in expressive speech - he understood everything, and could sign to communicate the basics, but he seemed unmotivated to actually speak out loud (at least to the degree that I thought he should). Honestly, I had no idea if he was behind, or if I should be worried, or what I should do about it. Lindsey provided guidance that my pediatrician didn't (not faulting my pediatrician, who is great, and actually provided the same guidance as Lindsey - just months later). First she worked with my son one on one (see attached video) - but the most valuable thing she did was teach ME things, such as useful signs, how to incorporate learning words into songs (really the only songs I know are itsy bitsy spider and some 90s rap/R&B), etc. These are things that no one focuses on in those "how to prepare for your baby" articles! You have to seek it out, and even then, the information out there is not really helpful. In the video I'm including with my review, Lindsey taught my son how to say/sign "I want" within like, 5 minutes. I was so excited. And it was simple, just part of the game she was playing with him! As a parent, especially a first-time parent, I was so caught up in the mechanics of my child's day - always watching the clock, did he eat enough, did he poop his diaper, is he about to touch something dangerous, etc. - that my mindset was so far away from using "play" to teach speech. These are the golden tips, people. And now she has a YouTube channel where she teaches you these tips, for FREE! and a free Facebook group! I actually took my son to speech therapy sessions for about a month or so - it was $80/session (30 minute sessions), twice a week. Are you serious. I can understand the investment if there is an actual developmental issue - but my son just lacked the proper motivation and teaching from me, his parent. Now he's 25 months, and I actually can't get him to stop talking, it's rough sometimes. TLDR: Help Me Grow Speech is a perfect resource for parents who aren't sure whether their young child's speech and language is on track, or need some ideas on how to improve speech development.
