My almost 7 yr old needed reading strategies for decoding challenging words and reading more complex sentences with fluency. This extra support and strategies learned during an extremely challenging time, helped my son tremendously (decreasing anxiety and feeling overwhelmed) and more importantly improved my relationship, eliminating the reading struggle between us. We sought out My Ed Therapist as it was more than just "tutoring". While the services were provided virtually, the therapist was still able to connect and make sessions fun, exciting and academic. I highly recommend working with the team at My Ed Therapist !!

She is a compassionate, understanding, encouraging and dedicated to her field. She is neurodivergent accepting and she is not one to give up on our child.

I am extremely impressed and very happy and grateful for Ms. Maureen. The staff and SLPA's are devoted to their students and their genuine commitment to the betterment of our children is truly remarkable. The type of care and dedication to the inclusion of all speech and language skills is the most valuable aspect of this incredible organization. Thank you so much, Maureen, Bree, and Gene are simply the BEST.

During our first appointment with Maureen, our child began using the same signs that we were unsuccessful in teaching. Considering that our child is very reserved around new people, this was quite a feat. He started seeing Akiko twice a week, and over the past year, his language skills have improved exponentially. He's now at the point that he can tell us about his day at pre-school and answer questions about his activities. Everyone has noticed the dramatic improvement in his language skills and his confidence has grown as well. Going to Shoreline was often the highlight of his day and he continues to ask to see Akiko despite graduating recently. We're very happy that we selected Shoreline for this journey, and we recommend them to you as well.

Most just aren't given clear guidance on what to ask for or what their child is actually entitled to. What stands out to me about Rise is how parents are supported in really understanding what's happening and how to advocate in a way that feels realistic and manageable. Having a clear plan and next steps takes a process that can feel chaotic and makes it more actionable. Another strength working with Rise is that April has firsthand experience working within the school system, meaning she understands how things actually function behind the scenes and can guide families in a way that's well-informed and practical. If you're feeling stuck or unsure where to begin with the IEP and 504 process, Rise provides the kind of support that can help you feel more confident and less alone in navigating it.

April's file review was thorough and genuinely eye-opening, she helped us understand exactly where the IEP fell short and what questions we should be asking.

We'd recommend Rise to any family navigating special education and feeling overwhelmed.

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!

We thought he would simply grow out of it, but as he got older we realized he needed help. We contacted Speech Sisters and they put our mind at ease right away.

He actually looked forward to the sessions and grew confidence as he progressed. If you have concerns about your child's speech development in the Southbay, Speech Sisters is a great place to help.

First and foremost Kevin Bansley was the point of contact through all of my emails/dealings with South Bay educational therapy. Kevin offered us 1 date and time only to begin my son's therapy and unfortunately we were not able to accept due to our schedules. No big deal right? Scheduling didn't work out so we could just go our different ways and my family could attempt to find help elsewhere. Kevin Bansley had different intentions though. He stated that they were keeping the money(almost $5000) and no refund would be issued. After several back and forth emails, Kevin agreed to refund some of the money, but wanted to be compensated for the time/services that they did actually render, which we agreed upon. He stated "In regard to your request for a refund, I understand that your family's needs and expectations were not fully met, and I do not wish to create further challenges for your son. Therefore, I will be processing a refund for the services that were not rendered, excluding the two intake sessions, and an additional four hours allocated for diagnostics and extensive communication with Harbor Regional Center and your family. These hours reflect the considerable professional time and expertise dedicated to your son's case." Sounded great. That email was received August 21st 2024. Here it is November 12th 2024. Kevin has still not refunded the money and I honestly do not think he has any intention to do so. Do not be fooled. Kevin Bansley tries to put forth a mission of helping children and families but that is clearly not the case. He has cost my son the help he has needed all year by refusing to follow through with his own words. I implore any and all families thinking about using South Bay educational therapy to help their family to simply ask yourself. "Can my child afford to get the help they so desperately need taken from them? Is it worth the risk to trust this company?"
