In the end, it depends on the therapist themselves, not the practice. Ask the manager for the credentials of the person they are proposing for your child - education, length of experience with pediatric population, any special concerns (e.g. our therapist had experience at KKI and it was important to me that she was trained on working with ASD kids). For your child's age the therapist needs to be positive, playful and gentle, with good chemistry. If things don't work great, don't be afraid to switch. |
| I hear bumble bee doesn't take insurance - how much does a session cost? how much does an evaluation cost? |
| We had a good experience at Triumph. I can’t speak to long-term treatment , but we had an extensive eval done there, and I was impressed with how sensitive they were. Their findings aligned with what I’ve seen and many other therapists have observed, so I think their eval was “right” (I know “right” doesn’t make sense… I just mean on-target/reasonable/accurate etc.) |
| We had a positive experience with the evaluation but were underwhelmed by the OT sessions and their bills are a disaster if you are using out of network benefits. |
| We were with Bumble bee for a few years and had a positive experience early on, but unfortunately it seems like things have really changed over the past year. There’s been a lot of therapist turnover, which made it hard for our child to have consistency. Their prices have also gone up significantly (around $195/hour now), and overall it feels like the practice has shifted toward a more corporate model. Just something to be aware of if you’re considering them. |
+100 This was our exact experience as well. By the end I felt like my child was nothing more than a source of money to them. |
