Would just like to update my review and say we still enjoy stepping stones and my kid is thriving there thank you!!

Truly the best! My 7 year old son has been in speech therapy here for over 1 year and it's been fantastic! All of the staff is so nice and accommodating (even able to do virtual appointments when needed) and the therapists are fantastic....Super outgoing and fun, my son absolutely loves coming here. The waiting area is not crowded at all and is super spacious. We've been seeing Brandie and absolutely love her! She genuine, really outgoing and fun with my son and always has fun games and activities prepared for him to do as soon as he comes in. My toddler also came for a short time too (he graduated) and thought it was so much fun. Most importantly, my son's speech is so much better now:) highly recommend! read more

My son has been with Stepping Stones for nearly two years, and we've had a great experience with both their physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) services. All of the therapists are incredibly kind and genuinely care about the kids. The administrative staff is also outstanding, well-organized and quick to respond. The facility includes a spacious waiting area, making it easy to sit comfortably or get work done while you wait. Highly recommend! read more

The stepping stones team is wonderful! My son has transitioned from his old place due to aging out and we have had a great experience with everyone at stepping stones. There therapists have been wonderful and we have seen progress with my son. Other important factors such as insurance coverage and flexibility have also been wonderful. We have had less than ideal experiences with other centers and billing but stepping stones has taken care of all of that for us. They are also so responsive to emails which is important to me, I cant always have the time to make phone calls but if I send them an email they always quickly reply to me, even before we started attending. We highly recommend Stepping stones. My son goes to PT, Speech and OT. While it is difficult for him, he does like to go which is really important. read more

I can not say enough good things about Stepping Stones Therapy! My daughter went from barely talking at all to chatting away all day at home. She absolutely loved her therapist Iyah and would ask to have "play dates" with her. Iyah was so sweet, kind and patient with her and made her feel safe. I'm so grateful for our time there and would absolutely recommend to anyone to go there! read more

Stepping Stones rocks! Thoughtfully put together and well-run programs (including great content and structure). Very knowledgeable, supportive, and dedicated team/staff. Great leadership and management. Highly organized and well-coordinated office. Would highly recommend Stepping Stones to everyone! read more

I am beyond happy with our experience at Stepping Stones Therapy and with my daughter's results. My daughter began therapy at this facility last summer when she was about nine months old. Her pediatrician was concerned because she wasn't rolling or crawling at the time. Fast-forward to today. She is almost two and is on the go! She's meeting all her milestones. The facility is very clean, and the staff is so friendly and helpful. The office manager Jonna was always very understanding and easy to work with the few times we had to cancel/reschedule. Our therapist Susan was such a joy to work with! So gentle and sweet with my daughter. I am forever grateful to Stepping Stones and the staff for working with my daughter. Highly recommend! read more

Owner Brock is amazing and simply put... a great human being who genuinely cares! My son receives 3 services every week. Physical Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT) and Speech. I absolutely love every single provider. They are professional, kind, fun and overall wonderful people/professionals. My son loves coming here and has progressed so much since we started his services here. He loves Ms. Joanne (PT) and she makes his Therapy very fun and interactive while still keeping him on task. She has so much energy which is very much needed with my son. Me. Dianne (OT) is also great! She has a lot of patience which is also needed with my son. He likes to derail... Do yourself a favor and call or visit the center... I can almost guarantee you will love it and your child will be very well taken care of. read more

I had my son evaluated back in October 2020 and I could not have asked for a better experience. My son is still attending and his vocabulary has gone from none to non stop talking now. Candice his therapist is the best with him, she is thorough and patient and a is plus she always has little extra stuff (bubbles to be exact) when he comes that she knows he will like. The staff is so nice and helpful when it comes to schedule changes or making up day for holidays they are closed. I have never met the owner personally but just by observation he runs a great company and hires the best people. Thank you Stepping Stones! read more

My daughter has been coming here for over a year and we are so happy. Brock is so friendly and honest, everyone that works there is amazing. Emily is just the sweetest. Nothing but great things to say about this establishment read more

Both my sons receive therapy at Stepping Stones. Jonna and Laura at the front desk have wonderful customer service and are very helpful in making an already stressful situation easier.

Love the women who work here. They are all very kind and very helpful. They've taken great card of my son and I trust them with him.

Brock is the best! He took the time to talk to me over the phone in depth and give me ideas that could help with my daughter. He then reviewed the reports from other providers via email. He determined that my daughter is receiving the right treatment in order to be successful. His caring and honesty are refreshing! I would highly recommend! read more

We saw Candice for a year to help my son and she was so thorough and calming. Guided us. I'm so grateful for that special time. All the staff was so kind and supportive. read more

I have been taking my son to stepping stones for several months now. We had some issues with his school district and we happen to be given the option to attend stepping stones. We couldn't be happier. We have been working hard with Candice and my son is thriving. My son is 15 and is on the spectrum. Reading has always been something we just thought might never happen, but it's happening!!! Candice has been a god-send and has truly invested her heart and soul into my sons progress. We now are privately investing in stepping stones therapy with Candice because we have seen a world of difference. My son is eager to attend his sessions, his therapist is just as enthusiastic of his progress every session as I am and it's so beautiful. Thank you to the quality and compassionate staff at Stepping Stones...they are all amazing!! read more

My son has high-functioning autism and struggles with understanding the complexities of middle school socialization. The social skills program at Stepping Stones under the amazing guidance of Brock, not only helped my son survive middle school, but taught him how to make and keep friends for the first time in his life! I'm thrilled that he is moving on to high school with the confidence and ability to make friends. He could not have done it without Brock's knowledge and compassion for kids on the spectrum! read more

Brock Tropea has a true gift at helping children find the path that suits them best and helping them THRIVE! Tailor made programs and such a warm, inviting, loving environment that gets results. My oldest daughter was at Stepping Stones 5 years ago for a short while for OT, my middle child was there shortly after for speech services that helped immensely. Our son (4), is now there for OT, Speech and Social Skills. The change in our son since switching both OT and Speech services in June has been life changing. Our son can now communicate which in itself is a gift. Having the words, being able to use them has helped in so many areas of his life - including preschool. Nothing I shared with Brock or his team was ever something I felt they couldn't handle or that Brock didn't have a plan for what we were going to do moving forward. And when times are tough and you are in the trenches with your child - you need the team of experts that can help guide you on what the plan is now and what the plan is moving forward. As a parent, when you know your child has deficits you want a place that doesn't see your child as a number and truly understands who they are - this is what Stepping Stones has given our family. Stepping Stones is a treasure and a gift! I share this place with as many parents as I can because the expertise and care are unparalleled. Great job to the Stepping Stones team! read more

Brock and his team at Stepping Stones Therapy took the time to learn my child. The program was individualized for the needs of my child. I am thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and care that the team gives my family! read more

My son has been working with Brock for over seven years. As a parent I don't know what I would do without his support and guidance. Our son has made tremendous progress thanks to Stepping Stones Therapy. It's been a pleasure working with Brock and the comfort of knowing other parents can relate to what I experience is so comforting as well. I'm forever grateful to Stepping Stones Therapy because without it we wouldn't be where we are today. read more

We have been bringing our son to Stepping Stones Therapy for over a year. Brock has been great working with our son, and helping us with shaping his social skills..My son loves coming to his group and leaves excited about the things he learned and the friends he has made. We are very thankful for Stepping Stones Therapy! read more

Brock Tropea and his team at Stepping Stones Therapy went above and beyond to provide guidance and interaction for my son through a very trying time. Recently, I reached out to Brock to thank him for everything as my son has now finished high school and been accepted to several colleges throughout the western states. If you know something needs to change for yourself and your children call Brock Now. read more

My son was diagnosed with Autism when he was 21 months old. Jack is now almost 11 and has made tremendous progress with overcoming his challenges and learning how to compensate for his weaknesses and appreciating his unique gifts and strengths. Brock Tropea ( Stepping Stones Therapy) has played a huge part in Jack's success. Jack was a part of the Stepping Stones Family for over 5 years . We recently moved to The Boston Area and have yet to find anything close to Stepping Stones. Brock is not only an excellent speech therapist that specializes with integrating social skills techniques into his therapies but he is also a compassionate and wonderful person . We consider Brock family and can not praise him and his work highly enough. read more

My son is a graduate of Stepping Stones. During the time he attended, Brock taught him strategies that now allow him to be successful academically and socially. We appreciate how Brock incorporates the Social Thinking curriculum into his sessions. Additionally, I always knew that Brock was available to answer my questions and to give me advice on how to best parent and advocate for a child with ADHD. read more

We first met Brock and suzanne when our son needed speech therapy in 2013. We were busy and desperate at the same time. In just over 2 years, Brock, Miss Suzanne and Miss Brittany made a difference in my son's speech and therefore his life. You could not believe the kind of progress he has made. In addition, they are very accommodating. When our schedule would change, they would do their best to accommodate us. Any suggestions we came up with was incorporated. They also involved us in the progress of our son by giving us homework. We just moved from the Newport area to the South-Bay. My son may not need therapy going forward because of what they have done. This is just after 2 years. read more
