Their policy regarding no shoes for the clients is absurd. I see the staffs where them on and the cleaning person where the shoes in and outside the facility. The kids are required to be barefoot or can where socks. They are stepping on germs from the staff shoes. read more

They took down my first review. People need to know the truth! My son has been receiving speech therapy at Recess Therapy for over 2 1/2 years, and while the speech therapist he sees is wonderful and has done great work with him, the company itself has become a huge disappointment since the new ownership took over. Communication with parents has been almost nonexistent, and it feels like the focus is more on money than on patient care. The therapy sessions, which were once thorough and beneficial, are now rushed and too short to truly meet my son's needs. This is especially difficult when running late, as there's no flexibility or understanding. Their late cancellation policy is unreasonable, demanding cancellations 24 hours in advance, but it's nearly impossible to get in touch with anyone. Today was the final straw. My son showed up for his scheduled appointment, only to find out that it had been canceled. There was no call, no voicemail, no communication beforehand. This left my son confused and upset, as he couldn't understand why he wasn't seen for his session. It's incredibly frustrating to waste time and gas when services aren't provided as expected. Despite the great work of my son's therapist, I can no longer trust the company. It's clear they're more focused on profits than providing quality care to families. I would NOT recommend Recess Therapy to anyone. read more

Absolutely seen so much improvement in my son. Thanks to the best therapist ever. Shout out to Ms. Abby & Ms. Faey for your support and helping kids with autism thrive and improve. Will absolutely be missing you all. Thanks for your support and TOGETHER WE ALL MAKE A GREAT TEAM. read more

Recess Therapy - The best therapist - Speech Therapists Near Me - Arcadia, California

When I learned that my son was falling behind I reached out to the Regional Center and they sent my son to Reese's therapy. I'm so glad that he was able to get the help he needed at this facility. There's not a lot of places that I can see that would treat you with the kindness and patience like Recess Therapy. Although my son was only there for about six months his vocabulary grew immensely. Our therapist was Kimberlee who we chose due to the Spanish bilingual background she has. I also love how the facility sends you text and email reminders of your therapy the day before, and they make make-up sessions easy. We are impressed and greatly satisfied with Reese's Therapy! read more

Recess therapy is such a great agency. I found them through a yelp search when my twins were transitioning from regional center services. The receptionist that helped us was kind and answered all of my questions. There was a wait to see a therapist at that time, we were looking for a bilingual therapist, but it was much shorter than we anticipated. I can't say enough good things about Ms. Kim. One of the only Spanish speaking SLPAs in the area, we are so happy we waited for her to have openings. She is kind, knowledgeable, understanding, and great at what she does. My twins saw her for a year and half and made amazing improvements. They were speaking in single words to short phrases when they first started seeing her and now speak in complete sentences. Ms. Kim supported their expressive language growth as well as their articulation and receptive langauge skills through wonderful activities. She built such an amazing relationship with my kids and we wish we could continue to see her forever. She is amazing! Connie and all of the staff at Recess is wonderful. You can always get a hold of someone when needed. They send reminders so that you don't miss appointments and provide support when needed. Such an amazing place. We are so grateful for them. read more

RECESS THERAPY IS ONE OF THE BEST!!! Every therapist and directors are great! My son love his therapists Dr Yuki Dr Sanny Miss Abby Miss Amanda Miss Jeanette And everyone here at the clinic are wonderful and very professional and friendly! read more

Recess Therapy - This is part of this fun amazing place! - Speech Therapists Near Me - Arcadia, California

This clinic is very busy. You have to wait at least three months if you are using medical. I was so disappointed with customer service. They refused to help to align with our school IEP goals. They said it's out of pocket. We have pay by ourselves for the goals that need to be aligned with school. They are not customer-oriented. read more

I would recommend this place if your kids need guidance, help, or consultation on speech-related matters. In comparison, my daughter's speech problem isn't as serious as others, but she was treated with care in Recess. Jessica is our therapist. She is a caring, loving, and very patient-therapist, and my daughter loves her! Their method is very fun for the kids. The kids don't feel like they are seeing a doctor or going into classes. They are actually playing games, talking, and through all these series of activities, the kids learn and pick up sounds and proper pronunciations. They also encourage parents to work with the kids at home for more effective results. My daughter improves in 3 sessions, and I can see her keep improving. Even her school teacher notices her improvements! This place is really caring. If you are considering a speech therapist for your kids, Jessica is my recommendation. Their staffs are friendly. They will do their best to help you and your family. Highly recommended read more

What a wonderful team. They proved speech therapy and OT. For my 8 year old Non Vrabel kid. Is there a one of a kind. Thank-you. read more

Great facility. The specialist are patient and caring. I just wish my daughter would have been able to use the facility outside the therapy rooms. read more

My 3 year old is autistic and attended Recess Therapy for over a year and half, we couldn't be happier with the progress he's made with them. Each and every therapist are well qualified, experienced, extremely nice, empathetic, easy to talk to. The list goes on! I can't count how many obstacles my son has overcome with their help. We highly recommend Recess Therapy! read more

Our son had been in speech therapy for over a year with little to no improvement and Apraxia was a diagnosis that was given out by the provider we were seeing. We found Connie who was listed as a specialist in this area. We could not be more grateful for her keen eye and her expertise. She worked with us an was integral in improving my sons speech and his overall confidence in his abilities. We are forever grateful to her for getting him where he needs to be. read more

My son had a great experience with Miss Kim and Miss Sam! They were both patient with him as he was learning and knew how to direct his attention when he would get frustrated or distracted. He loved going to speech therapy because to him it was playing games and having fun with toys, all while he was learning. Resources were also provided to help us understand what level our son should be at developmentally and we learned some tips to help him at home. The staff in the front office were always nice and accommodating. read more

My son began speech and occupational therapy at the age of 2 with Ms. Kim and Ms.Jin who were absolutely wonderful! Recess therapy is a great place, everyone is very welcoming and friendly. Ms.Kim and Ms. Jin went above and beyond with our son, who with sometime developed a great relationship with them. He looked forward for his therapies and they truly did all they could to help him improve in his areas of need. We will be forever grateful for their commitment, patience, and support throughout this time. We definitely miss them! read more

Best speech therapy in the SGV. We're took both our kids to Recess Therapy. Our daughter started at 2 years old, and really enjoyed being there with her therapist, she did graduated at 3 years old. Our son who is severe autistic, nonverbal is there for both speech and OT. Their therapist really care for their kiddos. The staff and therapist there are very involved and hands on. You can tell everyone who works there is happy to apart in the kids developmental growth, they offer us in person therapy, even with Covid. We been there for almost 5 years now, and have seen a lot of improvement. It's not easy for parents with special need child, they really help us a lot with reaching his school goals. They go above and beyond! Thank you Connie, Cathy, Alex, Natalie, and Kim. It is bless having someone who really cares like them! read more

We highly recommend Recess Therapy and Kimberlee Guzman (Ms. Kim), our son's amazing speech therapist! We started speech therapy for our son at around 24-months-old. We were concerned because our son was not talking, and so our goal was to close his language gap before he gets any older and before he starts school. Ms. Kim was able to build such a great connection with our son - she was patient, knowledgeable, and fun! She did a great job communicating with us as parents, setting goals, and provided speech exercises that we could practice at home until our next session. She made learning fun and had creative teaching lessons each week - our son always looked forward to his sessions with Ms. Kim. After one year of speech therapy with Ms. Kim at Recess Therapy, our now 3-year-old son is having conversations with us, he is more social with others, and is more confident overall! All of the staff at Recess Therapy were so friendly and the administrative staff always interacted with our son too. Recess Therapy also has a fun, clean, and kid-friendly facility that our son always looked forward to visiting for his speech sessions. We are truly thankful for Ms. Kim and Recess Therapy for the tremendous impact that they made on our lives!!! read more

Nowadays, there are so many set milestones for children to reach. So when my son was not talking by 18 months, as a concerned parent, I did research and found Connie. From the start, her staff was able to guide and route me in what direction I needed to take-from contacting the regional center all the way to making sure my weekly appointments with Connie were set. Connie is seriously a mastermind at what she does!! From the first week my son met with Connie-I miraculously saw him make improvements and start talking. She has the type of chemistry with children other SLP's do not have (the regional center had sent some of their own SLPs to do some assessment, and I could tell my son would not do well with them). Each week she has a goal and is determined to help my son reach that goal-thus ending in results!! I am so impressed by the talent Connie has in her field. I don't believe that I could have found a better SLP. Another plus is that she is bilingual-therefore able to help my son learn both mandarin and English. My son will be graduating in a couple of weeks from speech therapy-and the feeling is so bittersweet. The thought of my son not seeing Connie on a weekly basis anymore is sad-but at the same time we are so thankful and happy with all the development that she has helped our son through. He can now say 6-9 word sentences and ask question all at 2.5 years old!! Thank you so much Connie! read more

I can 100% recommend this place, Ms. Kim was great with my daughter, very patient, lovely & understanding. Thank you for all your hard work

Believe it or not our daughter was non-verbal at the beginning of the year. Recess Therapy has been a crucial factor in her progress. Miss Ellie has paved the way for our daughters educational journey in the best of directions. Recess Therapy has always made sure that their learning environment was safe during this pandemic and Connie was always a phone call away. Always wanting the best for the families on a very nurturing and supportive manner. Thank you Recess Therapy, especially Miss Ellie, we wish we can take you with us every step of the way! read more

I can't recommend Recess Therapy & Connie more if you are seeking help in speech, myofunctional, or occupational therapy! Please see my review posted on their previous location. My son is now 5 and very vocal thanks to Connie's help. He totally thrived once he could start to express himself verbally. He says the sweetest things and is a "chick magnet" because all the ladies seem to love him. Thanks Connie for being so loving, fun, awesome, and leading a group of excellent clinicians to provide such great services for kids in need across San Gabriel Valley! We are blessed to have found you! read more

See all

At this point, I have worked with 2 other speech therapy services and 2 other OT services, and Recess Therapy blows all of them out of the water. My daughter first started Speech Therapy with Ms. Connie. She is INCREDIBLE. She was able to keep my daughter engaged and learning throughout the whole session by planning thoughtful lessons and by structuring deliberate breaks in between tasks. Ms. Abby was her second Speech teacher at Recess Therapy, and she might be the best person I know. She is SO sweet and SO talented. My daughter LOVES her! Ms. Abby also creates VERY engaging lessons and I KNOW she differentiates for all of her students because she's asked for input and embedded it in her lessons. When my daughter was obsessed with dinosaurs, Ms. Abby had a dinosaur lesson ready to go! When my daughter was obsessed with space, Ms. Abby had a space lesson ready to go! And, when my daughter got a pet hamster, Ms. Abby was able to strategically use that event to target her speech goals. Ms. Abby knows what she is doing and I'm so glad she services my daughter. My daughter has made HUGE GAINS in speech, and I thank Recess Therapy for that! Now, on to OT. Ms. Cathy is my daughter's teacher. She finds the best activities and exercises for my daughter to engage in and is always ready to go! Ms. Cathy is very responsive and communicates with me all of the time. My daughter enjoys every minute with her, and we do it online! Ms. Cathy is a STAR! read more

My daughter had online speech therapy here. Kim genuinely cared my daughter. My daughter really enjoyed it and made progress. I am glad Kim was my daughter teacher. read more

I highly recommend Connie and Recess Therapy. Connie came into our lives shortly after my daughter turned 22 months. Each time she came to our house for therapy she would transform the play experience into a very special moment between her and my daughter. She's a one-of-a-kind and I'm pretty confident one of the best therapists in the industry. She's so caring of the children she interacts with and develops new and interesting ways to engage. What I love most about Connie is that she would push my daughter to move past her own boundaries and ultimately unlock the best version of herself. I'm so thankful for Connie and her huge heart. She changed my daughters life for the better and I'm forever grateful. read more

My son worked with Kimberlee for a few weeks and let me tell you, I saw massive strides in his speech. I love how intentional she was with showing him how to pronounce important key sounds. I love how she let him choose his own toys to play with and then she would create dialogues with him based on his interests. I HIGHLY recommend this therapy center if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Ms. Hannah is great. Our son, Hero (now 3), was speaking about 10 words when we began working with Ms. Hannah at Recess Therapy in June 2020 (27 mos). It was also towards the beginning of the pandemic so everything was done virtually. Ms. Connie (Director) did the evaluation and scheduled Hero for one 30-minute session weekly. Ms. Hannah is fun and directs well. She helps redirect when we get off course. She manages the sessions well with both the students and the parents. Our older son, Harley (6), was welcomed to join in enabling Hero to be more comfortable. Ms. Hannah always had activities that were fun and challenging, but not too difficult. We highly recommend Recess Therapy and Ms. Hannah when looking for a speech therapist! read more

I recommend recess therapy! My 2 yr old son who is autistic received speech therapy services at recess and he loved it. We saw improvements in his ability to communicate with gestures, sign language and started verbally repeating words. Ms.kimberlee did an amazing job at including toys he loves to play with. Thank you recess therapy! read more
