Spectrum Behavioral Therapies's Online Review Report Card

We started our journey with Spectrum two summers ago. Christine (the ceo) guided us through the process and was extremely kind. We had found a private school who was willing to open their arms and create a relationship with Spectrum. We had an initial meeting with the school and Christine and from there, everything seemed to fall into place. We had an amazing team that consisted of BCBA supervisors, asst supervisors, behavior therapists, and behavior therapist liaisons who support the therapist and brings in a fresh eye to the behaviors. The supervisors would set up and update goals every month that were challenging but realistic for my son. They worked with not only the parents but also the school teachers and principal. They even have sessions to help us understand what ABA really is and the different methods applied. They work hard to create an open communication and collaboration with everyone in my son's life. And the BTs (behavior therapist) are just AMAZING. They are extremely professional, patient, and above all Loving. After spending time with them and seeing their interaction with my son, I can see the passion they have to help him achieve goals. They create a bond and are genuinely happy to work with him. They are all amazing working to not only help my son master his goals but they also have amazing relationship with my son's teacher and his classmates. They help him in classrooms, give him additional support, facilitate play with his peers, etc. Spectrum is not a big company or a small company. They do not focus on quantity of "clients" but the quality of support they provide for the families. To add, we just had a meeting with the school and the supervisors to update his progress. As a parent, the feelings that come before the meetings are sometimes dreadful. Sometimes, we fear the ever increasing gap between my son and his neurotypical peers. We fear if he will ever catch up. We fear if he will be bullied or cast aside for being autistic and "weird". But I am pleased to say that my dread was washed away and I cried ugly tears during the meeting. The supervisors were extremely professional with the goals and the updates they provided for the teacher was so surprisingly detailed. The principal was also stating that they made all this possible because they knew what they were doing. They have cultivated a relationship, an open relationship, and a true collaboration.

My experience with Spectrum has been nothing but GREAT! Everyone here is super caring. We have been with Spectrum for over 4 years and my son has receive nothing but great ABA therapy. Each and and everyone that has been in his team has work very hard to accomplish his goals. His grown so much. THEY ARE AWESOME!

Professional, knowledgeable, and family/patient oriented! Excellent all around! My son has been with this company for about three years. They fought hard against insurance to get my son the service that he needed. We switched from a different company to SBT and have been very impressed since. I am very grateful for the care and service that we have been receiving from SBT. They work hard to meet our needs and exceed them. The leaders are knowledgeable, logical, and compassionate. The therapists and supervisors are caring and DEDICATED. I work in the medical field as a medical director and have had my outpatient practice for over 10 years. SBT is a wonderful service that might fit your children's special needs in my humble opinion. Please highly consider them!

May 2023- This place is so hard to get a hold of. I tried many times. Left msges and emailed. Also had regional center get a hold of them and yet even my son's RC coordinator was having a hard time getting ahold of them. No responded one time after many attempts then my RC case worker emailed them back and its been a week after and no response again. They give this kind of service to RC case worker imagine how they will give service to a client... i had high hopes for them since they had 3 other good reviews. But honestly I don't even know if those reviews are legitimate. - this review was back in May 1,2023 I removed it because the owner reached out to me explaining what happened. I gave them a chance and so i felt as a small clinic with only few reviews I didnt want to ruin their reviews over one bad review of mine for she did reach out to me to explain. Present- So my son got the approval from RC and i thought well i should give them a chance again. I called them 5 times no answer so i left a msg, 2 days later no call back. So i called them and the receptionist answered (on the 3rd try) and told me they're fully booked. They have a waiting list so i explained i wanted to speak to Christine. I explained i had spoke to her via yelp msg and would like to speak to her. The receptionist told me she will pass the msg to her and have her call me back. Ok so its been 2 days now and no has called me back. No reply no msg no email. This is ridiculous. Have the decency to at least call back the parent and tell them at least you got the msg to call them back, booked up or not. New clients don't even bother calling this place. They're so booked up. I almost feel like they don't even care to even want new clients since they don't need anymore. Let me also add, Regional center also mention while back when we first tried to get a hold of them. RC coordinator was having a hard time getting a hold of them to. ‍

I've been wanting to write this review for quite some time and have finally made time to do so:) My 19 years old, autistic son, K has been receiving ABA therapies from this company for about 2 years by now, and he has been making tremendous progress even at his adult age!!! ( A Thousand thanks to Christine, Ashely, Kelsey, Dalena, and Mike - amazing BCBAs & therapists) K had received ABA therapies from a few different companies for past 14 years. At the previous company I was told that K wouldn't be making much progress anymore due to his age.( back then, age 17 ) However, providing K with exceptionally high quality ABA therapies professionally developed by their BCBAs and implemented by well trained therapists, Spectrum Behavioral Therapies proved that the other company's opinion was WRONG. My son, K has been making really good progress continually and learning life-changing skills for his independence. As a very experienced parent with ABA therapies after going through a few different companies, I strongly recommend this company, Spectrum Behavioral Therapies, to parents who are looking for the 'BEST' ABA therapies for their any age children on the spectrum.

My experience with Spectrum has been anything but positive. I am writing this review as I tears are rolling down my face. Christine ( the owner) and Sam (the clinical director) has been on this journey with my son Dakota who was non verbal when he was 5. And when he started talking, I fell in love with my son all over again. Dakota is now 11 and he won't stop talking. I can't thank them enough. Now he has the language, they are currently teaching him to use it age appropriately. Thank you, Spectrum, for finding a voice for my son. They are simply the best.

Just wanted share this company carefully what we experience for my lovely daughter 3 years 6 months, we've been taking the ABA service with them since last year and keep on going with this company. We started with two main staffs (Christine -Owner and Kimberly) and two other BTs. (Morgan & Sophie) My wife and I are very satisfying with what they do for my daughter and Kimberly manages programs and follow up productively something that my daughter lacks on her age. Overall, Can't put all details but we highly recommend them to the parents who consider to find right place to starts. Hope this review helps

My family is very lucky that my son met the Spectrum company and started ABA, and everyone in our family is grateful. I was told not to expect a lot for at-home ABA to be of help from parents with similar difficulties as my son. However, after meeting this company, my son has undergone many great changes and developments. The therapists ask me consistently "What's does your child find difficult these days?" "What's hard for mom or a member of the family?" To help my son with their daily lives, they always try to think together with the family and come up with various solutions to help with difficulties. My child uses an AAC Device because he is not able to talk, but the therapist helps him to learn and use it actively, so that my child can actively communicate with the device. Sometimes, he is able communicate with the device better and knows the ins and outs of it more than the teacher who teaches AAC! There are so many things to be thankful for, but to talk about one of them, it is that the therapist sincerely tries to understand the child and help the child just like I would. My child during his school time learned about telling time from clocks; I then told the therapist about this. And the very next day, I was going to ask the therapist about using clock pictures to teach my child to tell the time, but the next day before I even brought this up, the therapist suggested showing the clock during the session with my child, so that he could naturally learn the clock and the time. I would like to express my gratitude to this company for putting in so much effort into trying to help me with even the difficulties of my family members along with my child. I highly recommend this company to families in need of help with difficulties similar to my child and my family.
