I reached out to her via email back in December and didn't receive a response. I recently called her. Again, did not receive a call back.

I don't know how everyone else is getting a hold of her and getting through.

Here's my experience as a parent I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the lack of…read moreflexibility in the assignment of the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) for my son, who has been receiving services from your company reaching the two years mark. Our district contracted with your organization, and at the time of enrollment, we and our district were not made aware of the strict two-year contract policy that restricts the RBT from continuing to work with the same student. Allow me to provide some context. My son is a 17-year-old nonverbal individual with severe autism. He is extremely shy and requires a significant amount of time to build trust with someone before they can enter his personal space. Unfortunately, during my recent meeting with Dale Young, it became evident that no exceptions could be made to extend the contract of the current RBT with whom my son has developed a strong bond and trust. He kept stating that he firmly believes that it's important that they are able to work with others we agree as well we are seasoned parents. He's 17. There is rotation happening already in the classroom everyday. I just wanted him to have the best last two years of high school as possible and not have to have a transition happened twice. So at the end of the day, your company and Dale Young do not taken to consideration of the individual human. By this decision by Dale Young and your policy is going to cause extreme regression and depression anxiety on my 17 year-old son. I left the meeting with feeling like I was talking to a AI. You guys have to do better and consider your clients human beings, not just cases

We finally got a good match and they "switched departments". Then they started saying I had to move my time due to scheduling conflicts even though we had waited 2 years to get the time slot we had. We got moved with a new SLP and I complained that they kept canceling and rescheduling. I can only assume they were double booking so instead of taking accountability for their poor planning, they decided to discontinue services simply because i advocated for my daughter.

Olivia is a wonderful SLP who is genuinely invested in her patients. Olivia had good tips and tools to help our daughter progress particularly with challenging pronunciations. We enjoyed the games and creative ways Olivia managed to elicit speech and our daughter would routinely look forward to our Friday morning sessions. I appreciate that Seven Bridges offers both 25 minute and 40 minute sessions. The scheduling process can be a little cumbersome if you need to reschedule and I really wish they would post their schedule of vacations and closures on an annual basis, but aside from those logistical items we were very happy with the care we received. We've worked with at least 5 SLPs over the past 2 years and Olivia was by far the best.
