Even after being with this company for over 3 year (at one point felt almost like a family/support system) as soon as we had an issue with our insurance we where notified immediately that our child could no longer assist the program and given a week to resolve it or else, we would get all services fully revoked. This is exactly what happened, now we're left scrambling trying to get our child into another provider. No empathy, it's all about the $$$$. Once a great case manager, Karen, left this company EVERYTHING came down like a house of cards. From the service, to the communication, down to the empathy- all gone. Not professional, lack of ethics and 0 compassion. Do yourself and your family a favor, avoid this place like the plague!

At this location, parking is not cheap; however, after hours, the gate is open on of the gates. This is the place for parents to get resources and support. For example: free legal clinic... They also hold meetings at various places in OC like at We Rock The Spectrum in Laguna Hills. More than anything it's a positive place. Please contact them and share this wonderful organization... ( Please note that they are a group that wants to cure autism. There's always two sides. Some likes autism the way it is and they just accept. Some look for answers. TACA does have a strong stance that a better diet and therapy can help. This group might not be for everyone, however, they provide other resources that can help parents navigate an IEP, therapies, etc etc etc)

Our first assigned BT never showed up. Then our next assigned BT showed up once and then never again. We messaged multiple people over the course of 3 weeks after our first session with the BT to find out what was happening and if anyone was going to show up again and nobody responded at all until we sent our final email informing them that we no longer wanted to pursue services with them. That one session went very well and there were no problems so i don't know why there was never any follow up.

After years of experience and having to move my children from school to school because of work-life…read morebalance, I feel with deep confidence this was one of the best elementary schools my children attended. Special Thanks: - Dr. Gary Gerstner and prior principal - Ms. Zachach (pardon the misspelling) - IEP staff - Speech therapist - Dolly Chatterton - Lilia (a name similar to Lily) - Parent/Community Advisory Committee - Parents in action Let me give you some context to compare amongst the other reviewers vs my review as a parent. When my children attended this school, I was a single parent, attending UCI as an engineering student, with a child in the IEP program, and having to manage my children's mother who was later found neglectful by CPS. All of this while working at Disney in customer service and born into poverty. Therefore, I had minimal chances to succeed as a parent, let alone the patience for all the possible mistakes I might encounter from being inexperienced. The Community: The people here are great and the kids are decently behaved. There might be a conflict between children every now and then but they do resolve it. The Parents In Action (PIA) cares about making a difference in the children's involvement with school activities. I've never attended a PTA meeting, sorry. The Staff: I don't like to generalize but they were awesome. I especially recall Dolly and Lilia (similar name to Lily). I put Dr Gary Gerstner and possibly the staff through some stuff with CPA getting involved, like the conflicts between the mother and I. In the end, I wish they knew it saved my children's life. Parent/Community Advisory Committee: The Advisory Committee is another level. I recommend attending if you're a parent looking for advance information regarding how to make the best of your interaction with the school system. For example, I asked what was the best way I can make the most out of the IEP meetings with advance resources. The person who answered my question was highly educated and very prepared. They taught me the steps on making a meaningful impact at each IEP meeting. IEP: The help in the beginning was profound. However, to make the changes necessary to improve as a parent for a child in the IEP, I had to be more involved. The specialists and teachers knew my limitations and made the best decisions available to them. The absolute best advice I received was from Ms. Zachach (pardon the misspelling), to make my child love reading and there is no limit to how much they should read.

We had a fantastic experience with T.OT Fine Motor Camp. My son made noticeable progress in a short…read moreperiod of time--not just in how his handwriting looks, but in the underlying skills like spacing, letter formation, and staying on the line. What really stood out to me was how structured and thoughtful the program is. They don't just have kids practice writing--they actually teach the patterns behind letter formation and target the foundational skills that make writing easier. We also received a detailed progress report with real data and writing samples, which is something you rarely see in camps like this. By the end of the program, my son went from inconsistent letter formation to confidently forming all uppercase and lowercase letters, with much better spacing and overall legibility. I would absolutely recommend this camp to any parent looking to support their child's handwriting and fine motor development in a meaningful, effective way.

The owner, Jennell, is not only an experienced occupational therapist but also a mom of two, which made me feel even more comfortable and understood. From the beginning, Jennell was honest and thoughtful--after assessing my son, she let me know that while he didn't necessarily need handwriting classes at age 3, they could still be beneficial. And they absolutely were! He made great progress, and more importantly, he is more confident about his ability to write. We had such a positive experience that we decided to enroll him again for the summer session. Highly recommend TOT Handwriting to any parent looking for gentle, expert support in early writing skills!
