I used to go here for speech therapy (many years back, so really old review) and vented about a physically abusive and mentally abusive situation regarding my parents. they then told my parents and took their side and it resulted in even worse abusive behaviors. I got taken out of therapy after this incident by my parents. read more

First off I thank Ms, Maddy so much. I started taking my son to OT after having second baby. I felt like we weren't giving him enough attention what he needed and wanted. Of course he had other problems like tantrums and screaming and throwing and lack of timing and not sharing all these problems being terrible two.. but seriously, he just turned 3 and let me tell you, Ms Maddy changed my son to a brighter kid and he is just a whole new happy boy! All the therapists here are very welcoming and nice. All very bright personality. I think that also made my son bright too. Made him so much comfortable to gain back his confidence. Can't describe in words how much we needed this. My child is very sensitive and also outgoing and loves people. Wants to feel loved and want to be known. She made my child feel so loved. We are gonna miss her so much!!! Ms Maddy told me he was ready to graduate but honestly, I wasn't really ready to completely cut off our session. So we slowly did. And it was our final day and he graduated. Her loving care and teaching was definitely needed for my child. I'll forever be thankful and definitely highly recommend this place for everyone! Might be back with our second who knows :) This office is very clean and nice. New montessori style of toys and gym style rooms. Please please don't hesitate to reach out and ask questions! This place is 30min away from my house and I still loved coming here. Worth every minute with Ms. Maddy. Thank you! We love you! read more

I strongly recommend IFK for kids who need a support for speech & occupational therapy! They always communicate with parents & discuss/advise about the goals/plans of kiddos for the better progress. I also love office staffs who help me out to get a better schedule for my kids timely too. If you plan to have your kids for developmental therapy, please get a consultation now You can trust IFK and leave your kids to them THIS IS SO REAL :))))) read more

I strongly recommend Maddy for Occupational therapy and Kristi for Speech therapy at IF! They both have been the best in helping my daughter to grow and best of all my daughter loves them so much and enjoys every session with them. Both therapists are amazingly knowledgeable and know how to work best with my child in the most kindest and loving way. I'm so thankful for all that they do and truly believe that they are a huge part of my daughter's continual amazing progress! Such a wonderful team here! read more

Everyone is friendly at the office! Kacey is a wonderful therapist. My son has been having sessions with her for a few months now and we've noticed so much improvement. He feels more confident in his speech :) read more

We love our speech sessions with Ms Molly and our son (who struggles with apraxia) always looks forward to it. She had been an incredible miracle worker with our son (now 7 years old) and seeing him for the past two years. He can be a bit of a challenge to get to sit still and stay on task, but he is so well behaved for her. She is also very helpful in explaining to us how to help our son with his articulation. read more

We've been at infinity kids in Placentia for about a year and and my kids have services. Ms. Madeline (scheduling dept) is so cooperative and very supportive for our family. Ms. Kathleen and other therapists always been with us for navigating any challenges or concerns we have. Their speech and OT therapists are amazing and really helped us through my ways. I highly recommend them to anyone for sure. read more

Infinity kids are amazing! I have two sons both with ASD. My oldest has been with them since before they changed owners. The previous owners sound smart we're good no problems but the new owners Infinity Kids are amazing they added OT services and now my sons can get all their services in one place. The therapists are amazing and so kind with my boys. My boys literally jump out of the car and can't wait to go to sessions. Big thank you to Ms.Nour, Ms.Nicole, Ms. Megan, Ms Kacie, Ms. Maddie, Ms. Sam and of course the front office Ms Madeline! All of the therapists there that I haven't personally worked with are great too! My sons have blossomed so much and they give me great advice on how I can help my son's at home as well. read more

I wrote this review to assist mothers who are diligently searching for the ideal speech therapy center for their children. My son receives therapy from Mrs. Julie, who is bilingual in English and Korean, and she consistently provides detailed feedback. We live in a multicultural area, and I want him to be fluent in multiple languages, particularly Korean, given his heritage. Mrs. Julie supports this by helping him practice his Korean in addition to English. Furthermore, she ensures to provide comprehensive feedback after every session. Without her insights, I would be unsure of my son's progress, so I am immensely thankful for her detailed comments on his development. Mrs. Julie also incorporates play-based therapy, which is ideal for my three-year-old son. He wouldn't be able to sit through a conventional 50-minute session, so Mrs. Julie wisely includes time in the gym area. This approach helps him enjoy and look forward to the rest of the session. Based on my positive experience, I highly recommend Mrs. Julie to any mother looking to enhance their child's language skills. By the way, if you find that Mrs. Julie is unavailable due to her popularity, there's no need to worry. I have also had experiences with several other speech therapists at the same center (Thanh-Ai, Kacie, Kristy, and Mahnoor) and they are all excellent. I believe they all work under the same mission and uphold the same high standards of care and effectiveness in their therapy sessions. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place! My son has been coming here for years and is so close to graduation/dismissal! He has been through a handful of therapists as our schedule changes and they are all so friendly and patient. It will be bittersweet to go! read more

Julie is an amazing Korean speaking speech therapist and I highly recommend her if your kid is having speech delay!

My 5yr old son has been coming here for the past year. He sees Ms. Maddy weekly for fine and gross motor delays. Maddy is so great with him in her ability to both be silly and built rapport but also to be firm and push him out of his comfort zone to try hard things. He has come such a long way, so much so that his school teacher was surprised to find out that he ever struggled with fine motor delays. We have also noticed he is more confident and willing to try and learn new skills now. The clinic is far for us, a 30-50min drive one way depending on traffic but absolutely worth it for how much my son likes working with Maddy and the growth we've seen. read more

My son started speech a little over 6 months ago. I can't say enough great things about the staff at Infinity Kids. My son literally will hop with joy now when we park in their lot. He has so much fun with all the teachers. Each teacher has their own style but one things that is very evident is each teachers care and concern. Ms. Julie has been with our son for a few months now and he just loves her, as a mom it's such a great feeling knowing your child is in good hands. He doesn't even notice when I leave now. Ms. Kristy is so great with him- after just two or three sessions he feels completely comfortable with her, she's one of the best! Ms. Molly saw our son for a makeup session and after one session he was able to say momma! The improvements we've seen have been REMARKABLE the last 6 months. He's now using two word and three word phrases and I have no doubt we would not have made this much progress without the help of the staff and teachers at Infinity Kids. read more

Nothing, but great things to say about Infinity kids. The receptionist makes it easy to go through your insurance (some doctor's offices are a billing nightmare) and everyone is really responsive via phone call or email. The staff is extremely kind, friendly and knowledgeable. We did physical therapy with Ms.Clarissa (she's amazing!) and my son always looked forward to seeing her. After every appointment she provided feedback and great information for things we can do at home. I highly recommend them, coming from a mom that always looks for great service! read more

Surprised by the great reviews here. I was cancelled before I could even start. I had notes, an excellent PPO and the final report that I could get before covid started which wasn't good enough for my son. I also had another evaluation on its way that also wasn't good enough, even when I said I would wait for it before starting therapy. I am not sure why they wouldn't evaluate my son themselves? It was some sort of twilight zone practice. I had a doctor's note, and further notes and recommendations. I was simply switching speech therapists as my current therapist had gone private and quit taking insurance. Instead, in an arrogant and unprofessional manner they cancelled us before we could even start. It was bizarre and I can't say that has happened to me with any other business before in any other capacity, but hey, there is a first time for everything. I guess they are the only business out there who isn't struggling during Covid. I put a lot of work into going here and this is how I was treated? Don't waste your time! Next. read more

Ms. Laura and Ms. Linda are our favorite speech pathologists. Both teachers are extremely Patient and take their time getting to know your child as well as your child's home environment. Inquiring about home life to be more informed about how their session will go. Both teachers have a very warm and inviting personality that makes you feel confident when leaving your child for an hour with them. The facility is clean and has a separate waiting area for children about to start class as well as parents. One of my favorite parts of this location is their texting ahead of time. You're able to text when rescheduling and they text you reminder appointments. For busy moms it's the best! My son is learning sign language and my daughter is putting two word sentences together. Amen! Looking forward to continued classes. read more

Infinity Kids - Front Entrance - Speech Therapists Near Me - Placentia, California

My son has been coming here for a few months. Ms. Kathleen is absolutely amazing! My son looks forward to going every week. He has been progressing so much and she gives me tips to help at home. Infinity kids took over the business. They are very modern and professional and very happy with them. read more

We have been at Infinity Kids in Placentia for 2 years. Both my children are seen there on a regular basis. The staff has become a second family to us. The therapists are very kind, helpful and informative. The front staff is cooperative, friendly and pleasant. read more

My son started here 4 years ago and loves the therapists. He always looks forward to working with them. Very kind and knowledgeable. It's probably the best speech therapy service in North Orange County for kids. read more

My son started coming here earlier this year and so far we've seen tremendous improvement. The teachers have been so thorough and organized with his goals and objectives for each session. The recap at the end of each session really has helped us in working with him at home and each day. Administratively, everyone we speak to when we cal or ask questions to at the front desk is very helpful. We're very happy he is going here. read more

I have been taking my son to speech here for about 6 months and I am so happy with the staff here. We see Miss Mika and she is a wonderful therapist. She is really good at what she does and so caring about her patients. The whole staff is really friendly. read more

I just want to give a major shout out to Sounds Smart speech therapy here in Placentia. My 2 y/o daughter has been going there for a few months and she is doing amazing. The therapists there are so caring and kind. I highly recommend them! read more

My son has been working with Thao for almost 3 years now. She is a real professional in that she is very knowledgeable about her field, passionate about what she does and most importantly she loves the children she works with and really cares deeply about how speech impacts their overall development. My son has both individual and social group sessions with her. He has made tremendous progress over the years. Check out the social group if you have a little one struggling with friendship at school. She and her staff will guide the kids in direct lessons and practice through role play. Of course all in the name of fun! The only downfall is that she doesn't bill insurance directly. However, in my search for excellent, high quality service for my son, I have come to realize that many therapists who are dedicated and highly qualified as Thao do not accept insurance. Maybe because they don't need to or maybe because they don't want to deal with bureaucratic agencies. who knows? If you are looking for a speech therapist definitely check it out. You won't be disappointed! read more

The whole team is awesome. My son loves coming here and works so hard for everyone. They always have a smile when they greet you. Place is kept clean and welcoming. They have helped my son improve so much and help me with anything new that has happened. They truly care for all the kids and the parents. I totally recommend Sounds Smart Speech Therapy for all who need help. read more

This is a wonderful and caring place with a lot of heart. The speech therapists are excellent! My daughter truly received amazing therapy and worked with my schedule. My daughter received speech therapy for 14 months and growth/ progress was amazing. Ms. Kristi's knowledge and patience with my daughter really helped her reach her goals. I can't say enough about the owner Tao, her front desk staff, and therapists. They make you feel comfortable if you have questions or need a schedule change. I highly recommend Sound Smart Speech Therapy. read more

We've been coming to Sounds Smart for speech therapy for over two years, they are great! The therapists are all so nice and helpful and they work so well with our son who has ASD. Can't recommend them enough read more

My 4 year-old son had been coming for 9 months and is being seen two times a week. He loves Ms. Nina and Ms. Kristy! They give so much of their energy and attention into his learning. They are genuinely happy when he makes progress and has a good session. The front desk staff is always courteous, helpful and works hard to accommodate our schedule. They also use text messaging to communicate, and I find this so convenient. Thankful to be a part of the Sounds Smart family! read more

We have been taking my Son, who is now 5 1/2 to Sounds Smart Speech Therapy for over two years. Finding a "child" focused Speech Therapy office had proven to be VERY difficult in Orange County because most cater to adult patients. Although most offices I researched advised they had a pediatric program; they failed to impress me with their client ratios (adult vs child), level of experience with children, availability (only certain Therapists worked w/ Children) and office environment. Sounds Smart was recommended to me by two different sources. I first learned about Thao Pham, the Owner, from my Sons Regional Center Service Coordinator. Although they are not allowed to make recommendations, she kindly advised me of how great this office was. Second was a parent of my Sons classmate who was a client of Sounds Smart. He RAVED about their services, Thao (Owner) and her team. But already, I had started my Son at Tustin Speech Therapy, which I was not too thrilled about since they only offered 30 min sessions (last 5 min. was parent consult). But, they accepted insurance and Thao did not have immediate openings. For the record, I also considered Providence in Orange and Speech Pathology Associates in Irvine. Both, I felt were too busy, impersonally overwhelmed and more focused on the bottom line ($$$$) versus the purpose of serving children in need of quality speech therapy. A few months later, Thao called me with an opening! Whoa hoo! After an extensive parent consult and evaluation of my Son, she placed him with Ms. Tami on her Team. The sessions are an hour long and focus on the immediate needs of the child. My Son improved so much that they eventually used his private session to also focus on social scenarios expanding his comprehension of typical situations. I couldn't be more thrilled! We later added Social Group (3-4 children) with Ms. Thao to further engage proper peer interaction/ communication. The office environment is quaint and conducive to serving children of all ages. The toys used for sessions are immaculate, obviously cared for and selected by the Therapist from what I call the "Toy Library" (storage room). The location/ building is very clean, safe and surprisingly easy to get to from the freeway/ side streets. Also, on occasion Ms. Thao coordinates special outings for her clients to attend to further enhance their socialization skills in the real world! What more could you ask for! We are more than thankful to Ms. Thao, Ms. Tami and the Team for their dedication to our Son. If you are looking for in depth personalized service, Sounds Smart can meet and exceed your expectations as they do ours! read more

My son currently attends Sounds smart and receives one on one speech and social group services. He's been there for about 5 months now and I have seen a vast improvement. I have been to half a dozen other therapists all over OC and they do not compare to the tactics, goals, and dedication of the therapist at Sounds Smart. They have tons of manipulatives for my son to encourage language through play. By creating this natural setting for him he can learn while having fun too. I highly recommend this place. read more

I chose Sounds Smart after Kaiser gave me a couple of options, and this location was closest for us. I was pleased that they could accommodate my twin boys with mornings, and at same appt times, which I know can be challenging. My boys started at 18mo old last Sept. and graduated this Sept. They made great strides with Ms. Alli and Ms. Tami. Both therapists are super friendly and skilled working with young children, explaining what they're teaching and doing, and giving suggestions for things to do at home. We had a great experience working with Thao and the other staff this past year. Highly recommended! Thank you :) read more

Sound Smart has been amazing for our son. They have continually worked with our schedule as teachers and have made huge growth with our child. Mrs Mika is absolutely phenomenal and is constantly pushed our son with both rigor and kindness. We really can't say enough about how wonderful our experience has been with Sound Smart. If you're in need of Speech services, you'd be hard pressed to find a better staff anywhere. read more

My son needed speech services at 19 months when we started at Sound Smart. Our speech therapist was Brittney, who was amazing. She was able to address my son's needs quickly and developed a wonderful rapport with him. He looked forward to working with her every week. Brittney was also able to clearly address all the questions and concerns I had about my son's speech development. In less then a year my son was caught up with his language development no longer needed services. I would highly recommend Sound Smart to anyone who looking into speech services for there children. read more

Our daughter Emma was helped by Sounds Smart for around a year and half ending in September 2017. We do appreciate what they did for her by basically diagnosing her with a submucous cleft palate, working with her on that and it allowed us to be seen CHOC, by an ENT and then by a plastic surgeon to schedule surgery for her this spring. What we don't appreciate is being billed for basically a butt hurt fee because we decided to stop going due to her receiving speech in school. A non show up fee and cancel fee for $65.00? Seemed kinda of trivial considering the amount that we spent on this place in the time she was seen. It was like one last visit that they could collect. The cost is extremely high for us due to private individual PPO insurance and we spent over $10,000 over the period of time Emma was seen. She was seen 3 times a week at a cost of 75.00 per visit so financially it made sense for us to switch to school which was free, and offered extended speech therapy due to her being placed in an IEP. Billing us for this fee just proved that this place is in it for the money and honestly she has made more progress in school during the first three months compared to the last 3 months at Sound smart. Probably won't consider Sound smart if extended speech therapy is needed in the future. Perhaps Sound smart should rethink its billing policy for long term clients. read more

I have twin boys and when we started Sounds Smart last year they were 2 1/2. They didn't have more than 5 words each , and now it is so amazing at how much better they are. Thao and Kristy are both so patient and nice. I would highly recommend their services because Thao and her staff really cares. They are so flexible with our schedule and was so accommodating with my insurance. read more

Amazing! Words do not do justice the gratitude I have for our sons speech therapist, Mika. In the short amount of time that he has been with her, he has just made amazing progress. All of the staff at Sounds Smart is patient and understanding. They have always been accomodating with any questions we may have had. We are blessed to have found Sounds Smart for our little guy! Thank you Sounds Smart (esp Mika) for all that you do! read more

Both of my children (with autism) have visited many different speech therapiest throughout Orange County. In my opinion none of the other offices even come close to comparing to Sounds Smart. My oldest has been visiting Sounds Smart for many years now and improved so much...at three he never even said the word 'mom" but now is speaking in full sentences much like his peers (now 6). The culture, the mission, and the vision of the Sounds Smart team is directed by a passionate, sincere, and individualistic attention for each child. Both of our children have benefited from the speech programs, the social groups, and the outreach field trips that they have been a part of. I truly appreciate all that they have done for our children. read more

Everyone in the office genuinely cares about you and your child and I love feeling welcome in their office. Our son sees Miss Kathryn and we love her. She is so patient and great with him and we are already seeing results after a few weeks. We are lucky Sound Smart is so close read more
