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!

After release from the hospital, my 88 year old sister-in-law needed 24/7 care and physical therapy…read morebefore she could return home to her apartment. The family is very happy that we found Windcrest at Regents Point in Irvine. Windcrest is managed very well. The facility is clean and the food is good. The professional care, frequent communication and obvious concern of the staff was a vast improvement over our previous experience at another facility. Not only the therapists, but also the attendants encourage the patient to keep a positive attitude and to try more physical activity. The team (including physical therapy, nursing, nutrition, and administration) held a meeting with the family to share their assessments and to keep us involved. Mary Ann Cabacungan, the Post-Acute Liaison, kept us posted, giving us straight information in a kind and caring way.

We couldn't speak more highly of Shea! Shea worked with our 2-year old son for about a year. She…read morewas patient, kind and fun; but also had a way of teaching and communicating discipline that our son responded exceptionally well to. Her primary goal wasn't just to teach language, but to give our family the tools to continue the teaching on our own. She brought in toys and books and had tricks to teach in a way that was custom to our son and how he likes to learn. Our son ultimately graduated from Shea's care and you would never know that our chatterbox now 3-year old only had ten words when we started. We are forever grateful!

We saw huge progress in both speech and confidence for our 8 year old daughter. Our daughter really looked forward to her weekly sessions with Syndi as they were fun and engaging and she achieved her speech goals very quickly.

Highly recommend Syndi's services to any family looking for a caring and skilled therapist! She's truly magic!

From our very first intake, we…read morefelt like we had found a hidden gem, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found this clinic. We see Jenna for music therapy, and she is amazing. She has a beautiful voice and makes every session fun, engaging, and relaxing. She always sings his favorite songs exactly the way he wants--even when that means singing "Hickory Dickory Dock" with the clock striking 34 times, or singing "Five Little Sharks Jumping on the Bed" simply because my son requested it! She keeps him engaged while encouraging him to try new things and make new sounds. We also work with Natalie and Bella for speech therapy, and we couldn't be happier with them. They take the time to understand my son, follow his interests, try different approaches, and collaborate with each other to figure out what works best for him. They also introduced us to the Bjorem Speech Sound Cues, which has made a noticeable difference in his speech, and they're always giving me practical tips to work with him at home. After working with many therapists over the past two years, what stands out most is how knowledgeable, creative, and genuinely caring this team is. They treat the kids like family, and you can truly feel how much they care. We're so grateful we found this place, and I can't thank Natalie, Bella, and Jenna enough!

We were told that it may be an impossible task, well Small Talk OC DID IT! They have the best educational toys, the best model of teaching kids and an absolutely exceptional therapist there. The facility is so clean and the set up is very convenient. It's set up in such a safe and private manner which is very important to me as a parent. I would travel hours just to see this team. They are awesome!!! My family and I can't say enough for everything they have done and I am looking forward to seeing how far my kids will go. Thank you Sydney , Jenna, Bryn and of course Natalie. I wish I could give you 100000..... stars!

My…read moreson receives both OT and speech therapy here, and it's been amazing to see how much he's grown since starting. We've had the opportunity to work with several wonderful therapists, and we're grateful for all of them. I'd also like to mention his speech therapists, Ms. Dana and Ms. Jena, and Mr. Joseph (OT therapist) to who have been such an important part of his progress. They've taken the time to get to know my son, incorporate his interests into each session, and keep him engaged and motivated to learn. They also do a great job keeping us involved by sharing his progress after each session and giving us ideas for what we can continue working on at home. Watching my son grow in his communication skills has been incredibly rewarding. We know that progress didn't happen overnight, and we're so grateful for the patience, encouragement, and dedication his therapists have shown him. We're so thankful we found OC Speech Services and couldn't ask for a better team to be part of my son's journey.

The staff at Kidspeak and ACES will communicate/coordinate with each other on your child's goals/schedules. Ms. Trudy and Ms. Diane are supportive and compassionate. Because of Ms. Diane, I learned that my child had a unique method of language development -- no other speech therapy provider informed me about it. Also, my child's face lights up when I tell him that he has a speech therapy session with Ms. Trudy. He loves working with her. She uplifts him and makes the sessions fun!
