Last year my spouse died and our world fell apart! Slowly things are falling into place! Last weekend was our first Buddies event! It was a welcoming environment with other ASD mamas who understand the struggle! Our time there was well spent and the kiddos were encouraged to socialize! I had been praying for something like this for a while! I'm so happy that I went and look forward to future events!

From the owner: There is a multitude of resources available for individuals with special needs, especially children…read morewith special needs. Unfortunately, there are not enough resources for parents and siblings. Here at IAO, we pride ourselves on providing the SUPPORT, RESOURCES, TRAINING, & COMMUNITY that parents and siblings desperately need. Our three main programs are YANA "You are not alone," PAK “Parents Are Key University,” and Buddies. While these programs focus on helping parents and siblings with mental health and special needs understanding, they also simultaneously help the special needs individual. In turn, this creates a family that is not just getting by but actually thriving in school, at home, and in the community.

So I will try to make this a short post because I can go on and on how amazing this place was for…read moreme, but as a mom of a child who has autism it is so hard to find someone who will love, care , and understand your child's needs, I was one of the longest parents to last at the center, my child started when he was two years old and let me tell you we were truly blessed.

I went to inquire about enrolling my child into this school and received very rude treatment from…read morethe front office (Cassandra). I was completely turned off by her unprofessionalism, lack of eye contact, and the way she treats children. The front desk/office is the face of an establishment, the representation of what is the come. After talking with different parents I came to found out the following: * HIGH turnaround on teachers/staff. * The area is bad. * Homeless are constantly within feet of the school and the police don't always clear them out in the mornings. * Restrictions on taking your own child out of school during after hours!? * Over capacity of students. Most often times they need to eat lunch in their classrooms. *During the summer, the air conditioners don't always work, and the children are forced to eat outside with no shade. *Every year, at least 1 teacher leaves the school. Sometimes mid-year! Do yourself a huge favor and do your due diligence. Talk to other parents there and drive around during business hours and you can see it all for yourself.

It's been over a year since my child attended this location. Was there for nearly 9 months. The…read morefirst 8 were great. But that's all because of the amazing therapist he had. She unfortunately left so he was placed with someone different. He only lasted 3 weeks before I decided to pull him. First week with her he was fine. The next two he repeatedly told me he didn't want to go anymore. And that he wanted a new "teacher". Well his last day I witnessed abuse. My child dropped a mask on the ground when he saw her approaching. I asked him to pick up and he refused. She grabbed him from underneath his arms and plopped him on his butt as if he was a rag doll. Very forcefully had him pick up the mask by hand over hand. Then scooped him back up. He was crying and crying. I was so shocked and it made me realize why he suddenly didn't want to come anymore. To this day I regret how I reacted-or should I say didn't react, but I was so dumbfounded by it. Again it's been a little over a year since this happened. I don't know if that female is still there-Hasmik Hambardzumyan. Had he never been around her I'd leave 5 stars

Behavior Frontiers has been and continues to be life changing to my family. My son has received ABA…read moretherapy through Behavior Frontiers for at least 4 years now and he has had so many successes. The company is friendly, caring, professional and most of all knowledgeable. They work closely with the family to develop programs specific to my son's individual needs and the needs of the family. They continue to empower me, the parent, and dedicate their time to parent training and parent run programs. Anyone living with children or other family members with autism know that there is not a quick fix and that there will be ups and downs in therapy and as your child/family member grows up. But, warn you have a home ABA team like Behavior Frontiers, you can be assured you are not alone in this journey. Highly Recommend!

This company and the staff are excellent. I am currently working here and as a newer employee I can…read moresay that this company is truly awesome.

Very unclear about process to become a provider. Drove 3 times from Moreno Valley to highland to be…read moretold to come back at a later date like gas and people's time grows on trees. The special needs people in need of help don't deserve to be put on the back burner because all the information can't be given at the same time. The provider worked 2 months prior to orientation and the CPR course and was told to submit those time sheets when received. Once the time sheets were in they refused to pay saying they were obsolete, only this months were valid .. I don't find that fair when I know people who have gotten paid from the time they started working . But it's ok I'll be blessed a little more for being patient ..Hopefully my special needs people won't suffer from lack of not caring enough about their helper to pay for the work done..May he bless your walk as he had ours..

The occupational therapist, Misael is wonderful with my son. My son will be 4 years old on…read moreSeptember 3, 2017, he is non-verbal and has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The focus during the sessions is to work on skills such as impulse control, transitions, and self maintenance (such as dressing himself). I love the transparency - I get to sit in the entire session and there is usually an assistant and a couple observers which is nice. It is nice because my son needs to become more comfortable in situations where more than just one other person is present. Since he started the OT sessions with Misael, my son's impulse control has improved noticeably. I am not sure why this facility overall has a low rank. However, the Autism Clinic has been terrific for my son. Without hesitation, if you are looking for OT to help your kiddo with ASD check out this place and ask for Misael.

My child had less problems before Wylie Center which leads me to wonder how much therapy there really was. The care, concern, and FOLLOW THRU was not there nor the ability to treat a child with TBI causing depression.

Never will I refer anyone to this center. PJ
