[quote=Anonymous]My experience with Nina and the Alvord Baker practice was not good at all.  My ADHD daughter was placed in a group with dynamics not appropriate for her issue.  The other kids seemed to have major issues.  One in particular seems to have an issue with addiction to devices.  This girl is 9 and has a iPhone and Apple Watch.  She brings the devices to the waiting room and brags about her games to the other kids.  She would have a fit when she was not allowed to bring them in to the session.  My daughter is only 8 and will not be getting a phone until she is 12.  This kind of exposure is not what I was looking for.  The kids in her group obviously had issues with anxiety, anger, and other things that my daughter does not have.

The process they use for vetting kids is not good.  They just want to admit your kid to whatever group they have and take your money.  My daughter is a sweet, happy, outgoing child with no issues like anxiety, shyness, anger, etc.  She is actually too friendly and tends to not always recognize boundaries.  And even though I told therapist that I wanted to work on this issue, the group never addressed it.  They focused on things like anxiety, anger, bullying and other things, but nothing about boundaries.  I went in needing help with one issue and it was not addressed.  I believe the reason for this is that their program is cookie cutter and not flexible.

I do not recommend this practice at all.[/quote]
