I wanted to write this review due to a HORRIBLE Experience My Family and I encountered with one of the OT from this Company.Foremost we waited for over a year to finally be contacted under my sons Pediatrician recommendation.We were very surprised when we were contacted and extremely overjoyed because My son was FINALLY going to get the help he needed. At least thats what we thought.Upon meeting the OT therapist who came to conduct evaluation on my son we set up a schedule and got an approval for the OT to come into my home 3x a week-Which during the 2 weeks she only managed to come 3 x and the rest of the time she called off with excuses.This OT came into our home disguised as an angel but not knowing that she was actually a devil in disguise Let me tell you what this despicable human being didShe came into our home keeping in mind My son is 16 12 years old suffers cerebral palsy low down syndrome. low muscle tone and is non verbal and on a wheelchair so He suffers multiple disabilities.My son is the light and Joy of our home. He is our beautiful angel always surrounded with utmost Love and care. He is The Love of My heart.Because our angel is older now and crawling everywhere there is lots of mess with his food and different things. Which we always manage to take care of all the time.This horrible person who managed to come into my home for 45 minutes sent the most horrible report through a hot line against my family calling us neglectful unfit and abusifYou should see the level of shock I went through when we got this reportKeep in mind my angel has been loved and cared for from 0-16 12 years now with absolute no issues He travels everywhere with us. We even took him to disney world during the summer and He went skydiving one of the most memorable experiencesHow dare you come into our home and judge us and write a despicable report against my family and my character How dare you come into my home and portray us as unfit How about they give you a 16 12 years old boy who weighs 135 lbs who doesnt walk talk and lets see how long you will last Did you give birth to Him Carry him for 9 months Spend countless days and nights in hospitals praying and crying that He will live Do you know the courage it takes to carry my son this long and still proudly doing it with utmost love and care It is because of horrible people like you that we do not welcome strangers into our home How dare you try to separate this innocent amazing boy from his family Did you come to do your job or to create an issue for us God will Punish you My husband and I will not rest until we pursue this for the stress and tears this horrible person caused our family Joshy eats from the mat as a part of his doctors recommendation to get his hands to work and he will make a mess-When he sleeps you are not here neither when he wakes up Each day after workI work from home I clean him through roughly.You are a horrible human being and we have received a new recommendation from a different therapy company and my sons doctor who has treated him for the past 8 years was extremely appalled by the things this horrible person reported about us Please any family out there considering this Company Please read this review and be careful before you bring horrible people like this person into your home. She came into our home as an angel pretending to help but she was truly a devil in disguise We Thank God Almighty her plan failed and we wish her the best and we know that karma does follow people like that so she will get her own some day.SincerelyNow I feel better because I finally was able to write my review and express my utmost disappointment and horrible experience we encountered with this individual through this company.Blessings
Therapy Blocks has been absolutely amazing We have the therapist Tiffany for my daughters physical therapy and the therapist Audrey for her occupational therapy. I wanted to make sure both of their names are included in this review so they can receive the recognition they deserve. They have both been absolutely amazing They work hard and are so knowledgeable and patient and kind. My daughter is starting to use her arms and hands more than she ever has since she was born. These therapists have helped to give me hope that my daughter will be able to live an independent life as much as possible. I look forward to continue to seeing her make progress and grow each and every day. I strongly recommend this company to any family who needs a therapist for their child I promise you will not be disappointed. Thank you again to the team at therapy blocks and an even bigger thank you to Tiffany and Audrey We appreciate all the hard work and dedication you guys have provided

Frequently Asked Questions
Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like:
- responding to questions
- starting or ending conversation
- changing conversation topics
- using gestures like pointing
- understanding other people's body language
Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. There is a critical period in the brain for language development and so, it's really important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. Your child will learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals.
It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking —they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don't speak at all.
Spot speech and language delays like a doctor here.
The goal of speech therapy is to help your child communicate effectively with other people across all environments. This may take the form of using gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
Some other common things speech therapists can help with:
- Nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures
- Forming speech in a clearer way
- Communicating thoughts and feelings clearly
- Understanding and responding to questions
- Discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions
- Noticing and understanding body language
- Feeding and swallowing
- Stuttering
The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:
- Complete OT evaluation. An occupational therapist first identifies your child’s strengths and needs through a thorough OT evaluation, also known as an OT assessment or screening. You’ll answer questions about your child’s skills, and your child will most likely demonstrate their skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a few hours.
- Approve OT plan. The therapist develops a care plan with individualized goals and customized interventions based on your child’s needs. You can also share any specific goals or concerns before approving the OT plan.
- Start therapy sessions. The therapist works directly with your child and your family, using various strategies and exercises to systematically improve areas of limitations and to build upon a child’s strengths. Some exercises your child might participate in are animal walks, obstacle courses, and therapy swing activities. Your family may learn strategies for supporting your child’s individualized needs at home, such as ways of supporting emotional regulation and sensory processing. The therapist may also recommend tools and techniques to use at home, in the community, or in the classroom to help your child succeed.
- Monitor your child’s progress. Parents and caregivers can expect ongoing progress monitoring and communication to ensure the child is achieving their short and long-term goals.
Occupational therapy can also be provided virtually via telemedicine. Virtual therapy is a great option for families in rural areas who may not have access to in-person services, or for families who prefer to have therapy in their child’s home.
Virtual OT allows the opportunity for increased caregiver participation and understanding of a child’s strengths, areas of improvement, and generalization of skills in the child’s home environment. Virtual therapy also provides increased opportunities for caregiver and family education to support the child and the family based on each family’s needs.
Once you find a quality physical therapist you want to work with, here are a few things you need to know:
- There will be an evaluation. First, you can expect an assessment to identify your child’s areas of strength and needs. A physical therapy evaluation usually lasts 30 minutes.
- You’ll review and approve the care plan. The physical therapist will create a care plan, also known as a plan of care (POC), outlining the goals and strategies. They will review this with you and your care team before moving forward with therapy sessions.
- Physical therapy sessions will be fun. PT with children is designed to be enjoyable. The therapist will use strategies and exercises based on your child’s needs. Exercises might involve playing on large stability balls, obstacle courses, movement equipment, stretches, and other hands-on activities.
- Expect home exercises. Physical therapists commonly assign exercises to work on at home. Doing these exercises with your child outside therapy sessions can improve your child’s overall progress.
Yes! Most providers offer physical therapy in their offices or a clinical setting, but many are offering at-home options. Virtual options have become more popular in recent years. You might facilitate care with the guidance of the physical therapist.
Pediatric physical therapy is considered safe and should not hurt. Autistic children spend their time in PT moving and exploring their environment. If you are concerned about your child experiencing pain during certain exercises, especially if they may struggle to communicate and advocate for modifications, speak with their physical therapist about your concerns.
