Tumble N Dots has been nothing short of amazing for our family. Our child sees an OT here for sensory-seeking needs, and the care and expertise they provide is exceptional. From the incredibly thorough intake evaluation to the way they took the time to truly understand our child--and our family as a whole--it's clear how dedicated they are to individualized support. They also have a special way of making OT fun and engaging, so our child genuinely looks forward to each session. The facility itself is absolutely gorgeous--bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to support a wide range of needs. We're so grateful for everything they've done for us. Highly recommend Tumble N Dots! read more

We brought our child (my grandson) to TUMBLE N DOTS therapeutic learning program, and it is the absolute best thing ever for a child that has developmental needs, or if they're developing their speech and language and you want them in a academic environment. Ms Avital is a visionary that anticipates the needs of both the children and parents! We are so happy to find the perfect place where there is a positive motivating environment. And his instructors Ms Angelina and Ms Adrienne are professional, friendly, warm and welcoming! If you are looking for an academic setting that is also therapeutic for your child that has speech delay, developmental delay or any kind, of developmental challenges, including ASD this is a safe, happy and healthy place for your child to prepare for K thru 8 grade. And it is not a public school with a ridged environment. Ms Avital's Tumble N' Dots is a fabulous place. (They have everything including zip lining in the building)! IT'S SIMPLY AMAZING!! Dr. A. Love read more

We took our daughter to Tumble N' Dots for a feeding therapy evaluation and were impressed immediately by the professionalism, attention to details and the approach taken by the OT, Ms Lichelle Fernando, and the team.   We were able to see noticeable improvements with our daughter within couple of sessions and have seen significant improvements with each subsequent session. The interactive and gentle approach they are taking makes it an activity that our daughter looks forward to attending.   With realistic and practical instructions given to us as parents by Ms Lichelle, we've been able to help our daughter continue her exercises at home with ease.   We highly recommend Lichelle and Tumble N' Dots! read more

This clinic has done wonders for our lil one with Autism level 2. Their curriculum and commitment by far is the best compared to all the other clinics we've been. They never give up and they find ways to help encourage your child to engage. In such a short amount of time we've seen how hard their team works with our child and we wouldn't trade it for anything. Although Tumble N Dots specialize in OT they also partner with ST to help our munchkin with her speech difficulties. We love Tumble N Dots and we will be forever grateful for all that they've done in helping our child flourish. I personally feel emotional writing this because we found them during a time wherein other clinics and therapist were unable to support our child. They were heaven sent during a very difficult time. Thank you for never giving up and for being there for our family. We wish Ms. Avital and her team nothing but the very best! We love you guys. read more

We owe so much to Tumble N'Dots. Last year our daughter, then 2, started dropping foods, refusing to eat, and wound up in the hospital for a severe food aversion. At the time she would only eat fruit snacks and infant puffs. Desperate, we reached out to Tumble and got set up with food therapy with Lichelle. Here we are a year later and our daughter is thriving and eating over 25 different foods. Lichelle's innovation and dedication got us here. The connection she formed with our daughter was almost instantaneous, and our little one is not quick to trust. We are so grateful to have found this program. The owner, Avital, is so knowledgable and kind, it's a great staff. Really cannot say enough good things. Thanks Tumble N'Dots! read more

Occupational therapists help with barriers that affect a person's emotional, social, and physical needs. To do this, they use everyday activities, exercises, and other therapies. OT helps kids play, improves their school performance, and aids their daily activities.- Tumble N Dot is owned by the amazing Avital Shuster who spotted our sons needs in such quick and gentle way and we are very thankful she was was our first station in this journey. We started seeing the highly qualified, warm, understanding and sweet OT named Miranda at TnD and we already see the difference in our sons quality of life. His balance, fine motor and even social skills improved significantly and it has only been 2 months. I'm happy to recommend TnD to anyone in need of OT services. read more

My son and I had a very positive experience with Tumble N Dots. We started feeding therapy with Ms. Lichelle when my son was 4 years old. He was eating a limited number of foods and was falling off his growth curve. Over a year Ms. Lichelle was able to assist in expanding his diet but more importantly getting him to be willing to try new foods. Our sessions were very comprehensive. They included food tasting and nutrition teaching, chewing instruction and exercise, and physical occupation therapy that helped William grow stronger and learn more about how to use his body. It was wonderful to have Ms. Lichelle's support working through this challenge with my son. I would recommend this group to anyone looking for quality occupational therapy. read more

Tumble N Dot's has really helped bring a sense of calm back into our famiy's life. Truly. I have three boys and by the time my middle child was three, he started showing early signs of having difficulties in school. He simply was not interested and had a hard time sitting through circle-time and participating in any group-related activity. I reached out to Avital and she suggested trying out their social group they offered at the time for his age group. Sure enough, over time we noticed small yet significant changes in his ability to focus and cooperate at school. He is now in TK and doing great. He has since moved on from group sessions and still attends once every other week with Ms. Christina, whom we both love. My son trusts her and has really opened up because of all the support and patience she's provided him with. The bond they've formed is truly special and one of the many reasons why we love Tumble N' Dots. I recently started my youngest (3 years) in the curious caterpillars social play-based therapy group, and already, within three weeks we see growth and attitude shifts. He's also speech-delayed, the OT's are aware, they work extra hard developing that area with him as well. At the end of each session, parents receive a detailed description of all their little one worked on, and always bring home a fun craft they worked on together! Avital, Christina, Natalie, Angeline and everyone else at Tumble N' Dots are incredible! We are so lucky and blessed to have found them, their support and care has really gotten our family through some challenging times! We highly recommend them if you are considering therapy for your child! You will find all you're looking for and then some ! read more

Tumble N' Dots - Having the best time in his play-based therapy group! - Occupational Therapy Near Me - Irvine, California

Tumble N'Dots is a phenomenal clinic dedicated to improving the skills of children who have difficulty with their emotional and sensory regulation and overall development. As a former volunteer at TnD, I was able to shadow Occupational Therapy sessions with the permission of parents and the OT themselves. With volunteering at this clinic for nearly a year, I was able to observe a vast amount of improvement with each child that I shadowed. Every OT, PT, and SLP are incredibly patient, engaging, and creative who wholeheartedly want your child to succeed in every possible way. There is careful consideration with each child during each session to determine how much OTs should push your kiddo to complete their goal while also being gentle in understanding that there are other external factors that could influence their progress. Overall, TnD is an amazing pediatric OT clinic and I am proud to say that I was a part of this program! read more

Tumble and Dots is amazing. It's so hard to find therapy that isn't ABA or ABA informer and my boys do not respond well to behavioralist tactics. They have been wonderful for my children and they have steadily been making gains and growing and I know Tumble and Dots is effective. I also love that they sometimes have events you can sign up for --we are doing a day camp now and my niece and nephew loved participating in the Halloween event there. read more

Incredible people, insanely patient, but best of all, they know their s***. Our son loved everything and had the most fun ever while getting assessed. Didn't hurt that we got the best news possible being there. read more

Avital Shuster has been working with our son for a year, & words cannot do justice for how great our experience has been. If you have a child that needs any sensory development assistance, this is the place & she is a wonderful Occupational Therapist. Of all his activities, going to a session with Avital is his absolute favorite. The growth & development he has gone through these past months is amazing! From last Oct to now, he is having a completely different experience in school (turned a 180!) & also so much better at home. Hands down one of the best decision we have made as parents so far. All that being said we have to give credit to Mrs. Danielle Kelso, Kindergarten Teacher at Salem Lutheran in Orange, for suggesting we look into a sensory assessment. So grateful that we are experiencing success! read more

I came to Tumble and Dots feeling pretty desperate. My daughter was having trouble with emotional regulation, she had sensory issues impacting her ability to get ready in the morning, and she was having trouble eating due to anxiety. They were so amazing to work with that we didn't even stay long. They worked through her clothing sensory issues very fast. They helped her with learning how to manage her big feelings in just a few sessions. Our house went from complete chaos to calm in just a couple of months. I wouldn't hesitate to go back if I needed more help and I also highly recommend. Thanks T&D! read more

Our son has had feeding issues since he started solids and we were at a loss for what to do. Our pediatrician recommended that we start OT for him. Our son has been in love with Kelly since the moment he met her. In a matter of months, he's made huge strides in eating, has tried a number of new foods that I could never get him to eat on my own, and is showing an interest in food that I never imagined was possible. Kelly is extremely patient and provides substantive feedback after each session that allows us to continue the therapy at home. On top of that, Avital and the rest of the crew have always been so accommodating when our son has been sick or we've had schedule changes. In short, I highly recommend this place. read more

I've been taking my son to Tumble N' Dots for about 18 months and I can't even describe his improvement. Avital made a huge progress with him, one we couldn't even imagine that will happen at such short period of time. He loves going to meet Avital and he doesn't feel like it's a "therapeutic session". The team is highly professional, kind and helpful! read more

My daughter has been attending tumble and dots for over a year now . When we first began attending my daughter was simply there for speech. We began to notice significant delays and they recommended my daughter to a neurologist . It was there that we found my daughter was Autistic . From there we signed her up for the full time time program . She has excelled so much! She use to be so uncomfortable and irritable all of the time . With Tumble n Dots she completely came out of her shell . She seems to enjoy life so much now and attends school everyday with a smile on her face . She also has begun to be much more verbal . When she started she did not talk at all. I'm so grateful for the amazing staff and all of the great things they have done for my daughter . I know they truly care for my daughter , which can be so hard to find when you have any child but even more so with a child with special needs . I highly reccomend this group! read more

I'm so thankful to have found the Tumble n' dots team. My son is enrolled in the Tumble and Learn program and in individual speech therapy lessons. It has only been 3 months and we have seen tremendous progress. He has become very social, confident, respectful and empathetic. His motor and language skills have exploded. When we do activities during the weekends I'm impressed at how fearless he has become. Avital, Angeline and Christina are amazing! They are a tremendous support for our family and we feel blessed to have our son enrolled in their program! read more

Tumble N dots changed my daughters life. We are forever grateful for Miss Nina and her kindness, talent and expertise, as well as the whole team! My daughter started with her around age 3, not speaking a lot, unable to tell us about what she wanted or what happened at school to now, 4.5 yes old and a chatter box. She saw my daughter thru her IEP diagnosis and knew how smart and capable she was. She recommended other services and experts that we also used and helped immensely. She is now on course to go to regular kindergarten. We are so grateful to have her graduate from the program but our whole family will miss seeing Miss Nina on a weekly basis. I found Miss Nina after googling speech therapists after getting an IEP of autism and speech delay, we were so scared and felt hopeles, we knew our daughter was so smart but couldn't express herself. One conversation with Miss Nina reassured us this was the right place for her and the results speak for themselves. If you are fresh out of your IEP and don't know where to turn Tumble n dots is a kind, thorough and safe environment for your kiddo to learn and thrive. read more

My 8 years old son with ADHD has been coming to Tumble N' Dots for the past 7 months. We were seen at a different clinic before coming here but didn't feel like we're progressing anywhere.

I started with Avital with my first son who's on the spectrum. Then my typical daughter started therapy and now my 19mo old son is in the hands of this amazing, talented woman. Her passion for OT and love for my children has driven them to succeed, checking off each goal one by one. I'm SO grateful to have met her. She is truly so skilled and so full of knowledge. Before my son was diagnosed I knew nothing about OT or sensory integration and just by watching their sessions I've learned so much and am able to incorporate it at home. Our goal as parents is to find trustworthy, knowledgeable people when it comes to treating our littles... but with this company you get more than that. You get passion and pure talent and a company that TRULY cares about the future of your child. They know where your child's limits are and push them to their fullest capability. It's so AMAZING to sit back as a parent and watch your babies blossom. We LOVE Tumble n Dots! Thank you Avital for making such an impact on my entire family. Forever grateful. :-) read more

We came to Tumble N' Dots with my son for private OT sessions. Avital was great with him. She was so professional, playful, and had tons of patience for him.

Avital was always happy and available to consult with my son's teachers and to answer any questions I have. read more
