We have been going to Therapy At Play for I believe over a year now. The office is very comfortable…read morewith a calming vibe. This is especially nice for children who are overstimulated with too much going on. They have a mini parent book library, and lots fun games on the walls for children to be engaged. The office staff is also very kind and considerate. They are helpful, but not pushy, which is lovely for a family that is trying to keep up regular visits but occasionally have things come up (like sicknesses). I've experienced nothing but kindness from them. I like how they have text communication, which is a very nice tool to navigate absences and other things that come up. This review though is mostly for Dustin Losli. If this review allowed up to 100 stars, Dustin would receive all of them from me. My child was diagnosed with apraxia of speech and has been receiving care since he was 18 months old. I've been to see many therapists in a variety of settings (East Bay Regional, private, and via school district). By far, Dustin is the best therapist we have ever had. I can't rave enough about him. So much so, that I followed him to Therapy At Play from another facility. We now have doubled the time to get to speech therapy in following him, but HE IS THAT GOOD. Dustin is one of a few speech therapists trained in the PROMPT method. It is very difficult to find a specialist in this speech system in California. It was by luck that we stumbled upon Dustin and learned about this system. PROMPT is "a tactile-kinesthetic approach to speech therapy that uses manual guidance and touch cues to help individuals, particularly children, improve their ability to produce speech sounds." In having a child with apraxia of speech, PROMPT gives invaluable feedback to them in training their mouths to perform the correct movements in producing a sound. No other therapy has come close to assisting my son like PROMPT has. And Dustin understands this therapy style inside and out. He is such a gem and an invaluable asset to Therapy At Play. There is hardly anyone out there doing what Dustin is doing. In addition to his credentials and expertise, Dustin has become a mentor to my son. He started seeing my son when he was around 5 years old. My son had tons of energy and a very short attention span. Dustin has transformed his ability to pay attention, know there are consequences in not following (safety) rules, and help him know how to handle his frustration when it comes up during therapy. He is pretty much the only therapist who was able to successfully get my son to perform multiple speech practices in a session. Something invaluable in trying to assist apraxia. As I've worked with Dustin for a few years now, I've seen what an incredible human being he is. I am so grateful for being matched with him in therapy and feel incredibly lucky every time we have a session with him. I have the feeling we won the lottery every time I see him create a win with my son. It's what every parent hopes to feel. With Dustin's guidance, I've seen my son bloom far more than I could have ever hoped for. I am hopeful for many more sessions with Dustin - my son now looks up to him as a role model in his life, as well as a safe place to fail, and learn. Thank you Therapy At Play and Dustin for changing our family's lives. You are creating real change in the world - and I'm so grateful.

We originally thought Leo had a…read morespeech delay, but soon learned that selective mutism was a big part of what he was experiencing. I went into this journey knowing very little about selective mutism, and Anthony taught me so much as a parent. It can be so hard to find someone knowledgeable about selective mutism, but Anthony was incredibly patient, understanding, and made both Leo and me feel comfortable. I loved watching him get down on Leo's level, play with him, joke around, and truly connect with him. We are so sad to see Leo graduate from his speech class, but we are beyond thankful for Anthony and the impact he has had on Leo and our family.

When we started, my son had about a 45% speech delay and used very few words. We were quite concerned, but everything changed after we began working with Anthony. He has been an exceptional therapist--patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly gentle with my child. Anthony not only worked with my son during sessions but also guided us as parents on how to support communication at home. His approach made a huge difference. My toddler genuinely looked forward to his sessions every week, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and engaged he felt. I am truly grateful to Link Therapies and Anthony for the remarkable improvement we have seen in our son's speech and confidence. I would also like to specifically appreciate their flexibility in scheduling, especially offering late evening sessions, which was something we could not find at other centers. I strongly encourage parents who have any concerns about their child's speech or communication to seek help early. Speech therapy can truly be a game changer. Thank you again to the entire team at Link Therapies for your support and dedication.

There are many developmental toys and activities which the children had a blast exploring. The space was very clean and well organized! I saw the staff actively tidying the space, assisting with the different payment features, and engaging the children. They offer memberships, as well host private events and various therapies that are held on site. It's a one stop shop. Their memberships can be covered by the Regional Center or funded through Self Determination program, but of course, you can pay of pocket. The owner Lindsay is extremely knowledgeable and helpful! This San Ramon location is their first location, but have since expanded to two more sites in Berkeley and Belmont. They also have tables for parents to have a break or work at which is very thoughtful. When I went also had a smaller tot area as well as an inclusive, larger space for all. Overall, this is a wonderful facility that fosters inclusion and a welcome addition to the area.

We started with parenting training for 1st 3 sections to learn reflux massage, and move to 1:1. I can see my kid's focus has improved significantly after 5 weeks in. On top of that, they also do regular OT but goes much deeper in terms of working with some behaviors as well. We also go to two other OT offices besides LF. What makes the big difference is they really care! Eric is very good at communicating what he and my son is working, how he did it, and what progress he has made at every section. Eric's good at setting up realistic goals and measures it closely. His communication,patience, on top of his OT skills made a big difference for us to learn about our son's sensory needs and how to handle them. LF is outa network for us. It's not cheap, but you won't need to waste time to go anywhere. They really know what they are doing with our kid. Highly recommended.

As parents, we were looking for someone who could not only understand our daughter's unique way of learning but also connect with her highly logical and helpful personality.

What sets Ms. Cameryn apart is her patience and her ability to tap into a child's natural strengths. She turned every session into a 'mission' that was excited to complete. Because of her guidance, we've seen major breakthroughs in our daughter's communication, social reciprocity, and emotional regulation. It is rare to find a therapist who combines such high-level professional expertise with genuine, heartfelt kindness. She is truly loves her, and while we are transitioning to home-based care due to our work schedules, we are so grateful for the foundation Ms. Cameryn built. If you are looking for a therapist who will truly 'see' your child and help them thrive, we highly recommend Ms. Cameryn!"
