I’ve had my son tested for autism spectrum issues, as well as IQ with Dr. Brett over this past summer. While it’s an extensive test, I’m extremely happy about how thorough the results and reports are. It’s shed a great deal of light on how far my son has come in younger years with vision, speech, occupational therapies, along with various medical and dietary interventions. It was amazing to see how the results reflected that he probably used to struggle with OCD, as he definitely did, but is within the normal ranges these days. While I have been aware his IQ was high, I wasn’t aware just

Dr. Brett has helped my son learn how to cope with his sensitivities in lieu of constant emotional outbursts. He is responsive to parent inquiry and engaging with the whole family, not just the one client. Our situation did not require formal assessment but I know he offers many services in that arena.

Talking to Dr Brett Shapiro has been a great experience for my son. My son is very comfortable talking to him about anything that troubles him.
He enjoys talking to him if there is a problem at school or home.
Sometimes he just likes to talk to him about sports and fun things as well if he is not feeling any anxiety.
He looks forward to his his visits and it has made him more comfortable expressing his feelings at home!
Our pediatrician recommended him highly to us for our son and his stress at school because he was putting so much pressure on himself to do all his work perfectly. He has become

Dr. Shapiro has been a wonderful resource for both diagnosing and treating my son. Although my son was not formally diagnosed with any specific condition, Dr. Shapiro has been instrumental in helping him overcome some emotional obstacles. Dr. Shapiro's approach of listening to the parents and then seeing the child helps to coordinate appropriate tactics for improving my son's self-confidence and enhance his overall happiness.

Dr. Brett has significantly impacted our lives. Before seeing him, my husband and I were struggling to deal with the emotional issues of our 3 year old son. Our son experienced a large amount of brain trauma at 2 weeks of age, primarily in the areas of the brain that control executive functions such as decision making, emotions, etc. Dr. Brett continues to help us navigate the waters of our son's extreme anxiety, behavioral, and sensory issues. He has given us hope and equipped us with the tools to help our son continuously improve. We are forever grateful!!!!
