The owner is absolutely insane. I wrote a review and she made a huge fuss about it, even…read morethreatening to put her attorney on me for defamation...for writing a Yelp review. She reached out to Yelp to have my review taken down, and Yelp took it down saying that my review didn't contain enough detail about my experience with the business, so here it goes... My son was supposed to receive services from this business, but there was a delay. When I called the business to discuss this matter, I spoke to the owner Saba at length. Throughout that call, she was very rude and unprofessional towards me - including cutting me off, not letting me speak, not answering my questions directly, and being just plain rude. Based on that call, there was no way in a million years that I would ever let her meet my son. So there you go. If anyone wants any additional details, let me know! ******************** The below is written in response to the comments entered by the owner below: Her comments only reinforce all that I have said. She continues to state that "we NEVER even saw you or served your child". Duh...that's exactly what I said. And this is exactly what I went through when I talked to her on the phone. We went round and round in circles, and my concerns were never addressed. She just doesn't get it. She reported me to her attorney, but her attorney never contacted me. Why? Perhaps because writing an honest Yelp review doesn't constitute defamation. And she also thinks this constitutes cyber bullying. Do you really want your kid with special needs to receive services from someone that thinks a negative Yelp review is cyber bullying and defamation of character? I know what my answer is.

Thanks to her, he crawled at the right time and is active with both hands ect (which can be an issue for babies with torticollis).

We had a great experience!

I am a single father that struggled to find helpful resources for my 6 year old autistic son,…read moreAyden, that is non-verbal. I leaned on my job's network and I had multiple peers singing the praises of Bright Stars for speech therapy. Due to the hurdles I have faced in the past, I was rather pessimistic at first and made some assumptions, that maybe this place would be like others with a long waitlist and would just forget about me. However, Kristen White reached out to me even though there was a waitlist and pulled some strings to assist me in getting care that I need because she saw how bad I was struggling. Her smile and calming tone gave me hope that there was a light at the end of the tunnel with getting my child the help he needs. After the evaluation, we did not have to wait too long before we are connected with Chelsea Miranda. She was an amazing start in my speech therapy journey and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. My son, Ayden, would run to her in excitement and ready for the educational play. Although she informed me she was relatively new, I feel like her willingness to engage with my son every session and focusing on building a connection won me over with Bright Stars. Due to scheduling issues I am having at the moment, unfortunately we no longer could work with Chelsea. On the other hand, in life when one door closes another door opens, and I could not be more happy to start working with Dakota Noble. When I tell you, I was nearly emotional after our first few sessions because I felt like the insurance commercial, I am finally in good hands. The cool thing about Dakota is that she have a vast background working with autistic children and day one I could tell she was the one (therapist wise of course, don't want my girlfriend mad at me). The way Ayden runs to the center and grabs her hand and take her to the room for their session warms my heart. I am just an engineer that is still figuring out this fatherhood and child services for a special needs child out. Not only has Ayden been building a connection and growing, but she has been an outstanding mentor from a parenting perspective on figuring out how to navigate everything. She is so intelligent, patience, and kind. It is an interesting feeling to not only have your child feeling heard, understood, and seen, but a parent that is fighting to be the best parent they can be feeling the same way is unmatched. So I say all of this because I wanted to show my appreciation of the Bright Stars staff that includes the front desk that has worked with my chaotic schedule too, Candace Carson-Brunt and Carol Cabri. Thank you all and I appreciate you all from the bottom of my heart and I look forward to continuing to work with you all.

Kristen and Dakota kept sessions fun and engaging while working on oral motor skills, articulation, and vocabulary. Their annual testing and plans were easy to share with her school team, which kept everyone focused on the same goals.

I'm very grateful for the support and partnership Bright Stars has provided and highly recommend them.

Divorce, buying and selling a home, moving three times, legal issues and a job change were all weathered with her support. And I'm a better person for it! Offering a buffet of healing tools, Lauloa utilized a unique set of techniques to support us. Pulling from her experience in higher brain living, brain gym and her extensive knowledge in communication, Lauloa helped pull me up, overcome fatigue and reach goals during the most challenging time of my life. I resolved court issues with my ex, doubled my salary and found peace, releasing the anger, pain and sadness from the unexpected and difficult end to my marriage. Lauloa created a safe place to talk about all of these issues and welcomed me with loving acceptance. My daughter loved the breathing and visualization exercises and we enjoyed attending together.

She is a beautiful, kind and talented soul. I'm grateful to have met her.

I took my son to a few OT sessions with Moira earlier this year after I found her on the…read moreDIRFloortime® directory. We only had a few sessions because her assessment found that he did not have insurance-justified reasons for OT, so she wanted to save us money. Moira and her staff are truly special people and I appreciate their neurodiversity-affirming, child-led, respectful approach to OT. She gave me a lot of helpful tips for developing his fine motor skills as well. When you have a child who is developmentally delayed and/or neurodivergent, you hear ALL DAY LONG from professionals about their deficits, what's "wrong" with them, how they're different from their peers, etc, and it's honestly depressing. Moira was one of the few professionals who spoke of my son from a strengths-based perspective which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend this practice to any parent whose child needs OT.
