It’s not the fact they have too many kids, rather the therapists looked so inattentive and miserable and frankly not super interested in the kids. The facilities are also on the old side. I left feeling a little horrified imagining that my son would hate it there. I now get ABA through national therapy center which comes to our home and his daycare.

Hi, this is old but maybe you can help me out. They have multiple locations, I am in VA, which one do you use and do you like them?

Op here-sure thing and will send an email thanks!

Thank you for that information. Please! That would be wonderful. Happy.smiley10 @ yahoo.com

Op here-it sounds like we have a very similar situation! I’d love to chat with you more as we have gone around and around about the different options and so I really get it and I am curious about the options you are looking at. I don’t have an anonymous email but am happy to set one up if you don’t have one.

The other thought I have is Sonali Ratnayake is an excellent resource as she does educational instruction and ABA and also serves as an educational consultant for her clients. She’s been very helpful to us with our younger kiddo (who was officially diagnosed with ASD a few months ago). Her email is Pria.llc@gmail.com. She knows all the PEP and private programs for this age group very well.

Best of luck to you too!

Thanks for sharing! We are in a similar situation and just trying to figure out the best fit. I love the idea of PEP but am feeling like my little needs more support. Best to you this school year!
