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.

We've been going to Cortica off and on throughout this year. I know it's always challenging to get…read morethe needed services and parents are run through a gamut of tests, assessments, doctor visits, insurance pushback (!), comorbidities, etc... I'm glad a place like this exists - a one stop shop for many of the needed therapies + high quality of care. As well, because they serve a specific demographic, I feel that they are better equipped to handle the idiosyncratic behaviors typical of certain diagnoses. They have been flexible with my child's schedule and my child runs in the door when we arrive. I just wish they had another location closer to us.

I contacted Cortica to learn more about speech therapy services for my son and to understand their…read morepricing and insurance coverage. I was told I would receive estimates and that someone would contact me to discuss them. A few days later, I received a call that I believed was related to those estimates. Instead, I was told the caller was a nurse and wanted to conduct a medical intake. I immediately explained that I had not been informed this would be a clinical appointment and that I first wanted to understand costs, insurance coverage, and whether Cortica was the right provider for our family before proceeding with any medical evaluation. I ended the conversation after expressing those concerns and was told someone would follow up with additional information. To my surprise, I later discovered that a charge had been submitted to my insurance and that I was assigned a patient responsibility amount. As a parent seeking services for a child, transparency is extremely important. Families should be clearly informed when a call is considered a billable medical service and whether it may result in insurance claims or out-of-pocket costs. My recommendation to other parents is to ask for written confirmation regarding which calls are informational and which may be billed to insurance before discussing medical history. I hope Cortica reviews its communication process to ensure families fully understand what they are consenting to before any charges are generated.

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

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.

Where to begin. Basically Nicole the owner/ director over promises and yet provides substandard or…read morecare. 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.
