Great company, ethical therapists, organized paperwork, good communication. Sometimes people have misconceptions so here is my direct experience with Preferred Therapy:
I asked for an evaluation and it was done right away. Then there was a waiting period - not because of the therapist or the company but because the evaluation was at the doctor's office *for *six *weeks. The company called several times, I called and finally got a signature so we could begin ST.
During that time I lost Medicaid coverage so I asked about private pay. This company has a pay per session price but a significant discount if I pay 1 full month upfront. Example - therapy sessions cost a regular price separately but if I purchase in a bundle it's half price. That means paying $700 upfront in order to get a deal by buying in bulk. That's how it works, and I was very happy with the offer.
My first therapy session took time to schedule because the therapist sees other kids - not just mine. Thinking about it, I have therapy 2x/week and my therapy alone can't possibly support someone's full time employment so I know they have to see other kids, too :-) anyway the first session was about 5 to 10 minutes testing my signature app (to verify therapy and keep my signature safe), logging into the portal to see my ST evaluation, my intake packet, paperwork and where I can find my therapy notes in the future. Then my child had 20 minutes of therapy. Then the therapist stayed extra time to make sure I understood how to complete some activities on my own (without the therapist being there).
After a few week I noticed my child was improving so much - I even referred a friend. Now we are getting ready to stop because we've met all of our goals. I'll miss the therapists because I know how hard they worked to give us the best progress possible.
This is a very good company. They take pride in their work and do the right thing! read more
