Our child was a late talker, so we did our research and found East Bay Child Development Center…read more(formerly PLTA). From intake to our final class, the staff made sure that the scheduling process was a breeze, and that visits did not fall short of expectations. They have an excellent staff dedicated to your child's development, and the office is pristine. Not just clean; very well kept. I noticed that there wasn't one tear on a book or broken toys. They put lots of effort into upkeep, knowing well that toys and books can take a beating with younger kids. East Bay Child Development Center has terrific speech therapists and therapists specialized in helping in all other types of child development, including but not limited to physical therapy, etc. We went through 2 different speech therapists and 1 or 2 therapy students which was a little harder for our son to grow accustomed to because it would take him awhile to warm up (which I've learned isn't unusual for any development therapy center), but each therapist tried their absolute best to ensure they were giving him the utmost care and attention.

They failed my son after 3 session. Excuses that he doesn't listen, he runs fast that worried about…read moreyounger children there. That speech is not a good fit for him, that his sister runs around the hallways exploring toys and opened doors of offices, about me get a phone call so they discharged him from services. This is racism and discrimination by the way ladies I want to give you suggestions, your office needs a new administration, organisation and functionality. Everybody there seems to go everywhere, I don't know if these people work here are they clients. The back door to the outside was open, this is called dysfunctional. The office receptionist was like his first day to work, confused and looked around like a lost boy. There four people by office were speaking loud and chatting. They failed my son years ago when he was younger because they said he was not ready for speech when I just changed my insurance to get accepted to come here. Now he's 12 years old saying he's not a good fit. Shame on you to say that to me. You can't discharge him that's illegal. My son is trying with his speech and he has rights in California to receive speech therapy any age. Discrimination by the ability, then age, what's next because his sister running around the office and also I was on the phone? For that lady who spoke with me today over the phone couldn't wait on me. And making me feel like I was being fired from the job, she sounded rude and said my daughter was running around the room and I was speaking loud on the phone so the excuse to fail my son. Then changed her words saying he's not a good fit and he runs fast and wants to push the kids. She needs to find more excuses for her to dismiss him. You don't know how hard and challenging to be a mother of autistic kid. I finally thought I have him his speech going and then you locked me up like shutting my mouth. Go see if your speech therapist is the one who has the problem. She too lazy to give speech therapy or has a lack of skills. This is Shameless and discrimination.

Angelica Davila has been an incredible speech therapist who helped my twins find their voices and…read moreexpress themselves with greater confidence.

At last I am sitting down to write this long overdue review for Bettina. We have been working with…read moreBettina since my daughter has been 22 months old, and she is now 4.5 years old. From our very first interaction and assessment, to our now sessions that have gone virtual, Bettina continues to impress me with her vast knowledge and creative techniques which has translated to immense improvements for our daughter. Bettina also provides a holistic perspective and keeps in mind my daughter's other occupational and physical therapeutic needs, as well as her speech/language goals. Even in this chaotic time of COVID, Bettina has gone the extra mile to make her sessions with my daughter fun and engaging. As an example, she keeps my 4 year old child 100% engaged in virtual sessions for 45 mins straight. Those of you with children (with or without IEPs) understand that this is a near impossible task that Bettina manages to handle with ease....but the truth is that Bettina spends a lot of time thinking of creative ways to keep her engaged! Additionally, our family has always felt incredibly supported by Bettina as we navigate the IEP system. She has taken the time to train my nanny as well as provide exercises for us to do at home. Finally, my daughter absolutely ADORES Bettina and looks forward to 'play' time with her each and every week. If that isn't the greatest endorsement, I don't know what is! Thank you so much Bettina!!

Dr. Bettina Larroude worked with my toddler age son every week for more than one year. She was…read moreprofessional, patient, detail oriented, incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and my son was excited to get to see her every week. Bettina used multiple techniques (including play based therapy) to help my son with total communication in English, Spanish and American Sign Language.

Our daughter genuinely looks forward to her sessions each week and truly enjoys her time with Molly. We're so grateful for the care she brings to every session, the helpful tools she's shared for home, and the way she's collaborated with our school team to support continued progress.

She was exactly what our family needed: calm, capable, responsible, punctual, trustworthy, and gentle with our newborn. She knew we were first-time parents and took the time to teach us about diapering, feeding, burping, and generally caring for a newborn. She also helped with cleaning bottle and breast pump parts. In addition, she quickly learned our family's home/nursery set-up and routine and followed our instructions well. Sylvia was a life-saver during such a stressful and vulnerable time for our family, and we can't recommend her enough!

I highly recommend her services. She was well educated, informed on all birthing questions I had and was a big comfort. My wife and I both felt really connected with her, and she valued our birth plan. She was our advocate and a huge help at home. Through this experience, Sylvia went from a doula to becoming our friend.

She has years…read moreof experience as a pediatric occupational therapist both within in the complex navigation of school system and home support. She prides herself on providing thorough consultations, taking into account the entire individual and their family. We would not be able to navigate the complexity of meeting a child's needs in an environment, time where many individuals focus solely on behavior, and do not chase the why behind the "behavior". Sadiya has provided her expertise numerous times over the past year with regard to meeting sensory needs for our child and offering very helpful tips to provide a more sensory aware home and happier, more loving experience that truly meets the whole child. Sadiya is truly a one of a kind individual who radiates love for every single child and family member she comes in contact with. Hands down, her expertise, experience, attention to detail is invaluable. If you're looking for a private OT that can truly encompass the whole child, taking into account cultural, neurological differences, reach out to her.

If there were 6 stars I would pick that as a choice.

The therapists and front office staff deserve five stars. Leadership's approach to families does…read morenot. As a parent of twins with developmental disabilities, I understand the importance of attendance. I also understand the reality of managing multiple therapies, medical appointments, school meetings, and life. Over time, repeated conversations about missed appointments, attendance reminders, and signing attendance acknowledgments left me feeling judged instead of supported. The final straw was accidentally leaving one week off a summer scheduling form, which led to another conversation about attendance. It wasn't about that one incident--it was the realization that this philosophy simply doesn't align with how I believe families of children with additional needs should be treated. The clinicians were wonderful, and the front desk staff were always professional and kind. My disappointment lies with leadership and the culture created by these policies. Families seeking pediatric therapy need partnership, empathy, and flexibility. Unfortunately, that wasn't our experience, and we chose to take our children elsewhere.

I have to update my review as things have gone downhill. We had a rough start with Childs Play with…read morefrequent turnover with their SLPs made it difficult to find a good match for my daughter. We finally got a good match and they "switched departments". Then they started saying I had to move my time due to scheduling conflicts even though we had waited 2 years to get the time slot we had. We got moved with a new SLP and I complained that they kept canceling and rescheduling. I can only assume they were double booking so instead of taking accountability for their poor planning, they decided to discontinue services simply because i advocated for my daughter. They dont seem to care about the children, they just want their paycheck
