We've worked with several teachers for our kids so we have a good perspective when it comes to quality and Tara and Devori are top-notch - levels above most other teachers we've worked with. Their teaching methods, the tools they employ, their professionalism and care, and ultimately their effectiveness are truly remarkable. I wish all kids could work with teachers as good as they are. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say, I am overly impressed with them and thought it was important to recognize them formally via this email. They're exceptional and the progress I've seen out of my daughter since working with them is amazing. Thank you!!

They have photos and bios of the staff on the wall, and Yvonne even read me the bio off her computer of a therapist who had not been placed on the wall yet. She was very patient in trying to get me the exact service and times that I needed.

I definitely recommend checking this place out if your child needs physical, speech, or occupational therapy. They accept private as well as regional center clients.

Nicole worked with our son for several years and provided invaluable support around language development - processing, comprehension - as well as social thinking. He absolutely loved his sessions with her. She was caring, kind, and always planned engaging activities that felt more like play than work. Over time Nicole became a trusted confident and emotional support as well. What I especially appreciated was her positive outlook and encouragement - Nicole did not approach our son with a deficit perspective, but instead made him and us feel like he was always making progress - which he did! I would highly recommend Nicole to any family without an ounce of hesitation. We have worked with may support providers over the years and Nicole is top of the list! read more

From the very…read morebeginning, Stephanie's warmth, patience, and thoughtful approach have made an incredible difference--not just in Wyatt's speech, but in his confidence and how he sees himself. Stephanie's philosophy is all about empowering the child, not "fixing" them--and that shift in mindset has been transformational for our whole family. She doesn't just treat stuttering as something to be managed, but as something to be understood with compassion and dignity. Her sessions go beyond techniques; they're about building trust, celebrating progress, and meeting each child exactly where they are. What's even more amazing is that Wyatt actually looks forward to his sessions. That's not something we ever expected when we first started this journey, but Stephanie has a way of making therapy feel safe, encouraging, and even fun. She creates an environment where Wyatt feels seen and heard--and that's priceless. Over time, Stephanie has become so much more than a therapist; she's a trusted ally and partner in our parenting journey. She offers support, reassurance, and insight whenever we need it. Knowing she's on our team gives us such peace of mind.
