Please read this review if you've tried feeding therapy without meaningful progress, are tired of…read morefailed attempts to sneak vegetables into meals, or have been told, "They'll eat when they're hungry enough." As the parent of a child with Autism, I have been there. After years of concern, I began to lose hope that my son would ever expand his extremely limited diet. Now don't get me wrong--I was grateful he would eat buttered noodles and French fries, but knew we had to find a way to give him the foundation for healthier eating and better nutrition. Our family has trusted Therapy South,PC for physical, occupational, and speech therapy for years, so when we learned they also offered pediatric feeding therapy, we knew we were in good hands. We were quickly matched with Theresa Seremet, and she exceeded every expectation. Theresa is not only a highly trained expert, but she took the time to understand my son's sensory needs, comfort level, and personality. Together, we created a plan that was personalized, realistic, and completely free of judgment. Using creativity, play, and the Steps to Eating approach, Theresa has helped our son build curiosity and confidence with new foods at a pace that feels safe. Every session reduced anxiety, celebrated small victories, and created lasting progress. Rather than forcing change, she helped me better understand my son's feeding challenges and gave our family the skills to support him at home. The results have been beyond anything we imagined. Our son's willingness to interact with and try new foods has grown tremendously, both in therapy and at home. Mealtimes are no longer filled with the stress and frustration they once were, and Theresa has equipped us with practical strategies that have made us active partners in his success. One of the things that makes this program so special is that Theresa has built and supervises an outstanding team of feeding therapists who share her expertise, compassion, and child-centered approach. You can rest assured that if Theresa isn't available, the other clinicians are equally committed to providing the same high-quality, evidence-based care. We are incredibly grateful for everything Theresa and the Therapy South feeding team has done for our family. They have truly changed the trajectory of our son's feeding journey, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to any family seeking exceptional pediatric feeding therapy.

Erika, who is unfortunately no longer with the company made such great strides with both of my children. I honestly owe her the world because she helped them so much.

But it was worth a try because my daughter wasn't talking at all and what we were doing wasn't working. My daughter went from not talking at all to saying 50+ words in one month! When I reached out, I was so overwhelmed and lost because all my daughter would do was scream to communicate. I can now say that with the help of RL Therapy and our AMAZING speech therapist Maura, our daughter is communicating and seems so happy that we understand her. I also love that they use Theratrak to help upload videos so that we can get extra help outside of our video chats. They have given us so many different things to try and I can't thank Maura enough.

Dania has been working with my son for a few months now for OT and the improvement he has made…read moresince then has been way more than i could've ever asked for!! My son has other therapists for other things but Dania is our absolute favorite! She really goes above and beyond for our family. She really takes the time to observe my son and understand what he's comfortable with and every single session she brings a new idea or a new device to try with my son that will allow him to push out of his comfort zone and try to do things he doesn't normally do. My son had a very hard time with eating, and forced himself to throw up whenever he ate a texture he didn't like. Dania observed even the smallest details and every session brought something new to try and everything has helped so much! It's been a few months now that he hasn't really thrown up while eating, and he used to throw up at almost every meal! Not just that, but she just has the most amazing personality and my son is obsessed with her! It's really hard for him to feel comfortable with people but she makes it so easy and he loves his sessions with her! We are so thankful to RL Therapy for sending us Dania and changing our lives!!

She is perfect for him, we absolutely LOVE her and the relationship they quickly built!!!!!! It's typically challenging to find him a good match since he uses ASL "she knows signs" . I'm already seeing improvement with him using his ASL spontaneously. I should mention that he's probably had in the last 10 years over 20 different SLPs over 5 different offices/companies and hands down. This has been the very best place for him. Thank you OAS center for working with kiddos like my son, to improve the quality of their life....

Where do I begin? I came to this clinic needing special therapy services for a child with autism…read moreand 1 time 5 years ago there was a good therapist employed there that worked with our child. The owners bio made me think that this was a stand up place with integrity and values. I emailed for weeks trying to setup an appointment with any therapist- occupational, speech, adaptive physical education etc. The owner kept giving me the run around- I genuinely thought he was working hard to help me find resources. Then, a school nurse appears to assess my son- from this company! Turns out she didn't even know how to conduct a nurse assesment, didn't know how to write a proper report, and had very little professional knowledge, nevermind integrity. I now realize this is one of those exploitive therapy clinics that's not actually interested in ethically treating special needs children. So disappointing given the needs that exist and the potential this place had. Would not trust this center with any kind of evaluations or treatments. Beware. Also everyone should know that you can file a UCP complaint against this company or any employees of it that you work with who engage in unethical practices. You might think since it's a private company you can't do that, but they are given public taxpayer funds to operate and therefore are subject to the same procedures as if a direct employee of the school. Feel free to reach out if you are unfamiliar on how to file a complaint. Parents must keep charters and those working with special needs accountable.

I have the most lovable nephew in the world. However, he can sometimes be a little terror. Not like…read moreGizmo chugging Liquid Death after midnight terror, but he does have tendencies to act up. What makes it harder is that he was diagnosed with ADHD and moderate-to-severe autism. Like many others with his conditions, he has speech delays. Naturally, our family sought out help and Kayla and her courses turned out to be game changing for the successful upbringing of my nephew. My nephew was non-verbal for about his first 2.5 years. Because his parents were a little concerned, they got in touch with Kayla and picked up the course. Her course advised communication with sign language which has helped tremendously. The next time I saw him after they started the courses, he was speaking with his hands constantly. I was surprised how quickly he picked up signs like "I'm hungry" and "all done". Silly me thought at first his hand motions were his natural mannerisms because he was born in the Italian part of New York City. Eventually he would speak by repeating everything we were saying. It hit me. He had a photographic memory and he was like a computer just copying everything into his hard drive. I looked at my little card counting machine with dollar sign filled eyes. I immediately booked us a suite at the Venetian on the Vegas strip. To our demise, I found out that little kids are not allowed at the blackjack tables so I had to cancel our trip. Also, his mom was not fond of me taking him to a smoke-filled room packed with degenerates like myself. On top of that, it turns out from Walkie Talkie's videos, his repeating is a matter of speech development. It is an interim stage of him practicing his words and sounds but not fully using them for communication purposes. But you hold on tight little buddy.. we'll crack the casinos together one day. Fast forward a few months and there was one incident where I found him shrieking like a bloody murder was happening. I couldn't tell if he had just gotten stabbed in the back by OJ or if he was practicing for an audition of an Amber Heard marital fight scene. At that moment, my training from the videos kicked in. I asked him in a calm tone, "what are you feeling right now?" He screamed: "It's a lion!" I jumped out of my seat and turned around to see if there were any furry feline predators that had escaped and entered my living room... In my defense, I do actually live pretty close to the San Diego Zoo. Apparently, I hadn't watched enough of the Walkie Talkie videos because it turns out that he was expressing his feelings by describing an animal that makes him feel scared because he was hanging out with me and missed his mother. Once I learned about this, I couldn't have been more proud of the kid. Even fully grown adults aren't able to identify their feelings sometimes, let alone have such colorful descriptions of them . Throughout the lessons, I learned that a nephew like mine has the ability to unlock his communication skills in many ways that may not be taught or catered to in a traditional school setting. I know that he is a really intelligent human being and will be able to strengthen his verbal skills through the exercise and training that Walkie Talkie Speech Therapy offers. Through these courses, I can see my nephew reaching his optimal potential which is to become the next Elon Musk minus his douche-baggery and twitter account. To rate Walkie Talkie Speech Therapy anything less than five stars would be to condemn life itself.

For example, when my mom asked an LPN who was already in her room for help lowering the blinds, the LPN refused and said should would go tell the CNA to do it. She wouldn't even take 10 seconds to lower my mom's blinds! They mocked my mother and retaliated against her by delaying her pain meds when she voiced any concerns. They refused to clean up water spilled on the floor, gave her a broken, unsafe wheelchair to use, and changed her medications without telling her. They did not provide her with the physical therapy that was orders by her surgeon. She was basically a hostage being horribly mistreated. She couldn't leave since she hadn't healed yet from her surgery. I am a nurse and the nursing staff here give us a bad name. The standard of care here is incredibly low. I would NEVER recommend this place for ANYONE. We were fooled by reading the good reviews from the past. But none of them are recent, and I can see why. This place must have gone way downhill in the last couple of years if those reviews were accurate. I will update with a list of more specifics of the abhorrent flaws there, but wanted to come here in case someone is considering this place for a loved one. DON'T DO IT!
