From literally the first session our son had with Dr. Sweeney and her colleagues, we have seen…read morebreathtaking improvements in our son's ability to express himself. You may be reading this and thinking this is hyperbole but we brought him in after a speech regression and had our expectations very low. We were expecting a handful of words. After the first speech block he did, we saw miraculous results--phrases and songs and the like. Serious grab the Kleenex stuff. Since then, we have only seen greater milestones passed, funny moments of commenting and describing, and challenging of our son that shows they get him and know what he can say and do. If you have had your kiddo see a speech therapist you know what that means. If you want to engage speech therapists for your child--of any age--from whom you will see significant results and who are smart and tailored in their approach to cracking the code of how your kid operates, look no more. Highest recommendation.

Charged us almost 6K for about 6 weeks of speech therapy for my nonverbal son. Assured us that we…read morecould submit to insurance ourselves but insisted on charging us up front. Promised us he would have a couple of words at the conclusion of the therapy. We tried. And failed. Sweeney and Augustin is considered out of network and while they charged us 6K the insurance only counted 1200. Worse, it was considered out of network so even the 1200 simply went against the out of network deductible. This should have been avoided by doing a pre-authorization but something they didn't offer or encourage. They overpromised, hugely overcharged and didn't deliver.

My 95 year old mother passed away after only residing at Warren Barr in Skokie for 1.5 years. When…read morethey moved her from the 7th floor down to the 4th floor her $200 cash were stolen and her portable wheel chair. After purchasing my mom an outfit with extra pair of slacks and using gorilla tape that my 1st cousin was helpful in labeling her clothes, the help stole entire outfit. A friend of the family was on the list to take my mom to the Webster Dental and he phoned Mr while I was at work livid that the Lieberman would not allow him to take my mom and naturally her tooth got infected! Pain and suffering. This friend is like a mom and he is like her son since my brother is deceased. This way she could have enjoyed his company too. He goes back 40 years with my family. When my daughter came in for a visit her portable wheel chair gone so she had to somehow put the standard size in my trunk. Now she passed 1/15/24 and they keep sending bills. The 1st one 1800 and now 3800. My mom is teased so this is why you are getting a right up! They also opened up a credit card in her name. Wtf. The nurse Christina would always avoid me and when I called she never pu or returned my call. Way to go! She would pu the phone everything I walked toward her office. I would like an investigation to all her property that went missing. She fell one time and fractured her ribs so she was sent to Glenbrook hosp. I spent many days sitting and spending time with my mom. On 1/16/24 6pm I came to pu my mom's personal affects and they said Robert's gone for the day Wtf I came the following day so once again they must have been going thru her things. I called the Skokie Police for a theft report and mysteriously Robert turned up and I retrieved my mom's belongings. I'm sorry mom for putting you in this Hell hole but you could no longer take care of yourself! I miss you mom! Lieberman stop sending my mom anymore bills since you obviously no she is dead and you got all her money, Social Security checks, all the money you made for sending out countless bills to keep everything in house. Oh so I had to take my mom to the dentist after the swelling went down after taking antibiotics. Skokie Chick Barbara

My 2.5yr old son was experiencing severe language delays and a lot of frustration. His entire vocab…read morewas maybe 10 clear words. He had started speech therapy through another agency, however he was not progressing or enjoying the sessions. We switched to this agency and the difference was like night and day! When Kate first contacted us I was incredibly impressed by her professionalism and attention to detail (I'm a clinical social worker - so my standards for service delivery and therapeutic outcomes are very high. And hey, this therapy is for my kid. And he rocks). Our first session with Kate was fantastic. My son warmed to her straight away, and from then on would stand by the window before each session waiting for her to turn up. And open and close the door for her like the gentleman he is. During the first week, we spent time setting goals and talking about how we would be able to assess his development. I also appreciated that Kate told me from the beginning, that she would be transitioning us over to a new therapist, Angie, in a few months. The transition was seamless. Both Kate and Angie have worked so hard with my son and genuinely care about him. They celebrate his successes and cheer him on as loudly as we do. Both have a freakishly good memory and know all his favorite toys, games and activities. Even his favorite color (orange...weird choice, but ok). Angie has even visited his school and met with his teacher to provide extra education for her. So cool. More than anything, I have appreciated how family-centered their practice is. Both therapists have provided us with a wealth of education about ways we can work with him at home, recommendations for schooling and invaluable support and advice. Last year, we had a grunting and screaming kid who was shy and retreating further into his shell. Now we have a little dude that is confident, can string a sentence together and has a wide vocab ("sour cream" and "mouthwash" - anyone?). The greatest joy is to see him so happy and understood by others! I cannot recommend this agency more highly!

I want to start with this review is not to shed light on the services we've received from the…read moretherapists. This is solely for the Billing Dept. We have been going to NSPT for 2 years now for our 5 year old nonverbal son for Speech & OT. Preauthorizations weren't obtained for 1 month worth of services. We were never made aware of this situation and when we were billed for 1,600 for private pay sessions the woman I spoke to repeatedly cut me off when trying to ask questions, on more than one occasion she told me it was "My responsibility" to know that services were not being covered. I spent HOURS on the phone with insurance, and when being told by BCBS multiple times that claims were never submitted on their end I circled back with the billing dept of NSPT and gave them reference #'s, as well as a call back number to work alongside the woman Ive been working with at BCBS to get this issue resolved - I could not of made it easier. The staff called ONCE, emailed me and told me there was no answer, then proceeded to tell me that our card will be getting charged the FULL AMOUNT this upcoming Monday for those sessions.I am appalled, and absolutely disgusted with how they have handled this matter.....this is personal because no one talks about how much being a special needs family we silently suffer being catapulted into this life of turmoil navigating such difficult obstacles with our children let alone the HARDSHIPS we endure financially getting them the services they rightfully deserve. The treatment we received from Rachel, and Monica has been so impactful for our son and I will miss that most for him......They have been wonderful. However this company needs to make a huge shift in how their billing department is ran, and I hope they know they have not heard the last of me.
