My son has been going to Great Strides for almost a year, and his improvement is beyond anything I ever expected. When he first attended he could only vocalize two words, now He is adding more words to his vocabulary every week. He was also very withdrawn, but now he engages with peers and adults, and holds eye contact.
The program is data based and goal driven. The therapists take the time to explain what your child’s goals are, and how you can carry the therapy on at home. Everyone is very compassionate and knowledgeable, and they will help you tackle specific behaviors and goals you would

Our son has received ABA therapy from GSR at the Mandarin location and on-site at his school for the last three years, and it has made a huge difference in his life and the life of our family.

Love this place! My daughter (6 years old, nonverbal) has been attending for a little over a year and has improved tremendously. She’s finally starting to master PECS to communicate. I love the staff but more importantly Andrea loves her therapists. We love Sarah, Jessica, Christina, Kelly and Matt. She has an amazing team. We have used most of their services including having a therapist visit her at her public school. I just enrolled her to the summer camp program. We’re so excited to start the camp next week. Love Great Strides.

We've been doing various therapies at Great Strides for the past 6 years. Everyone is very nice and the therapists we've had have really helped our son. We've done PT, OT and speech there in the past but now only do ABA therapy there because they don't take United HC anymore for the other therapies. Matt's ABA team have been the best we experienced thus far. They really want to see your kiddo succeed. Many thanks to Great Strides!! *I would of given a 5 star if they took my insurance for the other therapies ;)
