Last summer my fiancé and I were really struggling with my 8 year old son sleeping habits. My…read morefiancé had moved in with us back in March and my son was finding this hard to accept that he wouldn't be able to sleep with me anymore (he sometimes/often slept in my bed). I was recommended Mariko through a friend and she has been nothing but unbelievably helpful. We started with an at length phone conversation discussing my entire situation. Mariko was full of ideas and suggestions. I put these ideas into place immediately and they worked! The follow up of emails and text messages from Mariko were priceless and so comforting, it was great knowing someone was in my corner rooting me on. I couldn't recommend her more!

We are so very grateful for Mariko and all that she did for our family. My son had a sleep…read moreregression at around 2 and a half and we hit a breaking point because this was also around the same time we had a second baby. Not only did we feel validated and heard by Mariko, she saved us in terms of helping our son sleep through the night again. Mariko was so knowledgeable and helpful. She checked in with us for weeks and answered all our questions with care. Thank you Mariko.

Thank you for all of your work over the years. Parker has come so far under your care. Not only…read morehas his behavior greatly improved, but he learned to tie his shoes with Sarah, learned to ride a bicycle with Sarah and Kody, expanded his use of cursive writing with Olu and has improved in many other ways under your supervision. Parker is now a model camper after Kody and Olu spent time with him at camp after we were made aware of ongoing problems. In addition, Parker improved significantly at school because of the efforts of Kody, Diego and Shirin, who met with his teachers and other professionals on two occasions.

My son was receiving services from them for a year and half. Half way through his supervisor suddenly passed away and he was awesome ... my son's main therapist Ms Kim was also great. After the sudden passing of the supervisor the therapist were left to dry... no direction no true guidance no one truly helping them help my child. Scheduling was awful other therapist would call off often ... For at least five months there was no supervision. No progress my son regressed horribly. When a new supervisor finally came out even she was personally aware at how bad they dropped the ball with my son. She apologize several times and promised she would help make changes.... Only after a couple of weeks i noticed how she was full of broken promises as well... so I decided to take my son out the program and Ivet had the audacity to pin the task of retrieving a table that was recently bought for my child and toys WE PROVIDED on his therapist !!! When i let her know we would find services elsewhere she was careless. Over a month ago I called the company to request the latest report they made on my son to assist with applying for ihss services since they were the last took with him .... I was told someone would reach back out to me .... Never heard anything !!!! Please find a better organized company

My Family and I really love this facility, we have had such amazing people join us in our journey…read morewith our sons future. From initial contact they were very nice and accommodating to our schedule and what we are looking for. Our direct scheduler has always made her self available to us by early on giving us all of her contact information and i can reach her easily by any means and if something were to arise she calls me right away to let me know if a BT cant or us running late. Our supervisor is also amazing shes also available to us rain or shine if we have any questions or concerns about programs. She comes often to over see sessions to better accommodate his programs to him and keep him challenged. Once that my son got really sick they both were checking up on him to make sure he is okay and as a mother that really made me elated because they dont see him as just a number or another case, they saw him as a child, like a family member and that will forever stay with me. His BTs are always trying new ways to connect with him and make sessions fun and different everytime. They are always asking how he is, whats different, any new favorite thing or songs. They also help guide me so i can run his programs myself once they leave so we can continue on striving foward. I cant rave enough about our team but aside from us his parents his bigger cheerleaders are his team. They celebrate just as hard as we do when he reaches milestones that at one point seemed lightyears away. I hope this review helps a parent feel more at ease about taking their child to ABA therapy at behavior frontiers .

Our pediatrician recommended Brightwork, and meeting Nicole was the first time I felt like a…read moretherapist actually understood my son for where he's at. Sometimes it's hard work, but we are seeing real changes over time. Nicole gives us practical advice and is more hands on than other bcba's we had before, and also talks to his Speech and OT directly so I don't always have to play middleman. It feels like we're not just surviving every day now. Can't recommend brightwork and Nicole enough.

She doesn't provide parent training, feedback, and has impeded us from putting our son in daycare and finish his iep Bc she dictates everything and if you question it she will threaten to stop Providing services. She is absolutely unethical in her conduct, she delayed my younger one from getting services over 9 months and kept pushing back the start time, whilst my older one for a year and a half made no progress under her and she would not provide us any data or the plan of care, would not allow us to talk to his bcba or bi, and when pushed for input would become very inappropriate and threaten termination of care. We have now been with another agency and in 2 months my son has made more progress than he had in the 1.5 years he was at Brightwork. Stay away.

Apparently, if you have an HMO you have to be self-pay because they do not take any HMO they would be considered out of network. Which I found confusing since my friend that have Kaiser go to this location and only pays her co-pay, but Hamden stated that that's not possible because she would have to be self-pay. I checked the website it actually just show some HMO's are in network. My current HMO was in the list of a network. I did the form online receive a callback from Kathy. She left a message when I called back unfortunately I got Amber again who stated that the website is not updated and they do not take any HMO in network. Everything is self-pay if it's out of network, which I find very odd but oh well I was looking forward to scheduling at this location because I've heard great things from other parents.
