“Over the past year and a half, my beloved child was identified as autistic and then a flurry of additional diagnoses and challenges. This clinic has and is literally saving our lives. They exemplify the highest levels of clinical and therapeutic care: thoughtfully and lovingly developing 100% individualized treatment, modifying as often and as much as necessary. Medical issues arise and change rapidly with my child, and every time, the clinic displays nothing but kindness, compassion, and flexibility to do what is truly in his best interests. The therapists partner with you, the parent/family, and consistently go above and beyond to encourage, explain, guide, and encourage some more.
I've watched our OT literally change the course of my son's existence, his experience of himself and of life, and be our lifeline and promise of hope.
In our first evaluation with the renowned developmental pediatrician, Dr. Rubin, he told me this clinic is the absolute best I could have for my child. 1.5 years later, I can absolutely attest to that truth.”

First – breathe. It can be overwhelming to submit oneself or one’s child to an evaluation, but we truly work to set you at ease. For the child, we recommend giving concrete information such as, “You are going to go to this office where you are going to play with ___. You will play games and talk a bit.” We generally find that even the most initially tentative child will not want to leave once the evaluation it over! For teens, we recommend explaining that they are going to meet a therapist who may ask some questions, but that generally they will “hang out.”
