I have 3 kids who are autistic, and all attend therapy at SDOT. We absolutely love it here! Every…read moretherapist we interact with has a deep understanding of their specialties and have been able to pinpoint exactly what each of my kids needs. They administer therapy with a neurodiversity affirming approach, affirming each child's value and individuality. Even when teaching social skills, they discourage masking, something I've rarely seen at other therapy offices. The office staff has also been really helpful, working with us to schedule appointments so all of my kids can be seen at the same time, minimizing our trips to the office and maximizing my time. Everyone has been so helpful and caring, truly working to individualize therapy and help each child's be their best self. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for occupational, physical or speech therapy!

We haven't gone to an IEP meeting yet so I will update once we do, but I do feel that he is an assesor with integrity which is important. Too many therapists have improper training by districts and deny children a proper assesment. Mr. Wilson's facility is very comprehensive, clean and orderly...he has a big train set in the entrance which instantly calmed my child who loves trains. His front desk staff is kind, respectful and attentive. So far I have a high opinion of this center and this assesor and will bring my other children who need OT services here. I should also add that I've been to many OT centers and some are run in a very "mill"/"factory" way where the kids are pushed through. I did not get that feel here.

I understand trying to limit people inside due to COVID, but how are you going to expect a parent…read moreto be ok with leaving their child (one with special needs at that) with a stranger. Not knowing if it's going to be a good fit, or a parent feeling comfortable doing that. If grocery stores, restaurants and other businesses can have customers walking in and out, I don't see why it's an issue for a child's parent to sit in during a session. i'm sure exposure is already limited by not having normal amount of appointments. if i have to explain, plea or escalate my concerns to be allowed to stay with my child to ensure their safety, then it's probably not a good fit for us.

I am so grateful to have come in contact with Miss Alyssa. My son has made extensive progress with his speech and Miss Alyssa has such a great connection with children to keep them engaged, focused and excited about the lesson. She constantly brings new ideas, new games, etc so my son is never bored and the focus of speech is always the center of the activities. His Pediatrician has noticed the improvement in his speech as well. I highly recommend Leap Speech & Language Therapy. Our entire family couldn't be happier with her services.

She brought a bag of books and toys which she would switch out to keep our daughter interested. Even when my toddler was being difficult, she did her best to find an activity that she enjoyed while working on her speech. She openly addressed my concerns and gave me tools to help my daughter work on her speech outside of therapy. Our daughter went from sounding out one syllable words to speaking full sentences. At the end of our sessions, she was evaluated by the SLP for her school district and they determined she was meeting the age appropriate milestones and did not need further speech therapy. I highly recommend Alyssa if you are looking for an SLP!

Every session is thoughtfully guided with patience, care, and a true understanding of who he is as an individual. We appreciate her more than we can fully express.

We've had such a wonderful experience with Gina C. at Radiant Kids Therapy.

What really sets Gina apart is her patient-led approach. She meets my son where he is and adjusts each session based on his needs in the moment. Gina is incredibly compassionate, sweet, and attentive to cues. When my son becomes overwhelmed and needs space--sometimes even needing to step into a quiet corner--Gina recognizes this right away and adapts without pressure. That flexibility and understanding helped her build real trust with him. Because Gina listens, observes, and adjusts so thoughtfully, our son feels safe and respected during sessions, and that has made a huge difference in his progress. She is a fantastic representative of Radiant Kids Therapy, and I highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, patient, and child-centered speech therapist.

To give context, my kiddo is 5 years old as of this date, and we have been clients of Cortica for…read moreabout 1.5 years. My kiddo started autism-related therapies (behavioral, speech, and occupational) whenhe was 2, so prior to Cortica we had a couple of years experience with other providers. From our experience, one of the biggest strengths of Cortica is that it offers a comprehensive set of services under one house - prior to Cortica, we had different providers providing different services, so there was an obvious communication gap across teams. Additionally, there were several services that we weren't doing prior to becoming clients. To expand, we currently use Cortica for the following: Family Counseling (for parents), Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Social Group (for kiddo), ABA Therapy, and Music Therapy. In the recent past, we were doing Neurofeedback Therapy - it did not seem to have any notable impact, so consulting with the staff, we decided to stop. We also had a meeting with Dr. Shapiro regarding TVNS and under his consult, we decided it probably wasn't necessary. We had a couple of bio-medical consults, but we haven't been successful in being consistent with supplements (this is really our fault here). In the near future, we are planning to attend the once-a-month Parent's Group at Cortica. In respect to quality of care provided, from our experience, it's been very good all around. Cortica's ABA is different from what we were used to - it's not reward based, rather it's based in the methods described in Spectacular Bond book (sorry, it's a bit hard for me to succinctly describe). In respect to speech and fine & gross motor skills, we have seen our kiddo progress at a good and steady rate - he's still got a long ways to go, but we're seeing him grow. Also, our family counselor has been great and an integral component in everything. She not only listens to personal issues, but also helps us plan and process anything related to our kiddo's development. To re-iterate, she's been integral for us. We've met with Dr. Goh a handful of times and we've always found Dr. Goh to be personable and approachable. We haven't had a need to meet with her often, since the personnel that we've worked with has been solid and helpful. We haven't really experienced a turnover staff problem like we had in the past with previous providers. For instance, we've had a couple of the same ABA therapist for our entire duration with Cortica. I would say scheduling and re-scheduling (e.g., school year, summer) is more an issue. This probably has to do with a supply and demand with resources, I would guess. Last note, I really get a good "team" sense from Cortica, that encompasses my family and Cortica. And I think that's partly due to my wife and I's level of engagement and also Cortica's philosophy on how things should run, which of course is displayed in the staff we work with.

My 4-yo son needs speech therapy. Cortica is in network. Scheduled the first evaluation meeting…read morewhich was a video visit. They asked if he has trouble concentrating - I said yes. They then recommended a neuro evaluation, which I agreed to, even though it's not really a concern of ours. They said they would write up a care plan and schedule a neuro evaluation as well as a speech evaluation (also video visits). These were scheduled two months out - and the confirmation emails didn't mention speech anywhere - just neuro evals. Since we only need speech therapy, I wanted to get clarification that at least one of these next two evals was for speech. I reached out via phone (twice) and message to verify, and they never responded. I got the first bill of $390 for the initial video consult. I'm sure the next two would have been another $390 each, and who knows when the actual, in-person speech therapy would have even started? I cancelled both and reached out to a free provider in San Diego recommended by our school. He is now scheduled for an in-person therapy session less than a month out. In my opinion, it seems like Cortica is more focused on generating revenue from parents via multiple (pointless) video visits rather than getting kids the help they need. The reviews make sense now!
