PediaPlex - Fort Worth

We were at Pediaplex for about 2 years and had a generally good experience. We had SpeechOTABA. The staff rotated in an out fairly often as is the case in most therapy locations but until the last 7 months or so they were always able to accommodate my childs needs. Speech was always great. We had a total of 3-4 speech therapists over the years. Kelsey was amazing. Unfortunately we had to go without OT therapy for 7 months due to staffing. At that time we decided it was time to leave in order to have a continuation of care for my son where he could have a full series of therapies. Our relationship with ABA was complicated but I know their therapist worked hard to help as much as they could. I would say the ABA was comparable to other centers we had been to but still too little parent training. I was blown away by the owner she is very passionate kind and closely involved in the kids cases.

Thank you Pediaplex Alliance team for creating an amazing learning environment for our boys to grow and further develop. You have made this journey a great experience these last 5 years Our boys 5 7 yrs old have accomplished so much while attending ABA Speech and Occupational therapy. We are eternally grateful for your genuine level of care and attention you provide daily to help our boys.Sonia you truly have an amazing team Kyle-BCBA and RBTs Thank You so very much for truly caring about our boys and their success. You have become part of our extended family and love you all Highly recommend

Place is a complete sham anybody who is looking to really help their children I would definitely not recommend PediaPlex first thing they try to sell you on is that the daughter of the owner was autistic herself second of all OT. Therapy is horrible. My child did not do ABA here but I would definitely not recommend it. I would see all the children just laying flat in the hallway every single day and all the therapist faces all had the look like no one had a clue what to do. definitely would not recommend just a honest parents review.

Edit if the responses in bad reviews dont explain why parents are frustrated then I dont know what will. The fastest they choose to respond is when its a bad review. The gaslighting reaction and addressing misconceptions is completely unprofessional and shows lack of accountability. Im never one quick to give a one star to a location I once loved but maybe if Sonia would personally take the time to communicate in person than over a google review she wouldnt leave a foul taste.Its honestly sad that I am here to give this review but its to provide a fair warning before choosing this location. I will start by saying my child LOVED his ST and Ms Alyssa was incredible however she told us she was parting ways with this location so we decided to stop ST for my child. We agreed on a last day of speech and on what was supposed to be our sons last Appt is when Ms Alyssa called out the morning of to cancel it. Since she didnt show up neither did we. Now this review is not directed to Ms Alyssa it is directed at her office staff. The office staff has the audacity to charge us no show FOR HER CANCELLATION. Then we just check our account and they have charged us AGAIN for a no show when we agreed we were done with ST. No one answers the phone so there is not a way to dispute it. That is 150 they have robbed from us. I dont know why Ms Alyssa parted ways but its not hard to figure out. If youre looking speech therapy pick somewhere else I used to rave about this location but never again. Its so sad that it came down to this review. Do better.

Pediaplex was the first place we found support on our familys neurodiverse journey. Our OT was caring and helpful. I now work here and find my coworkers to be some of the most empathetic and supportive people Ive ever worked with.

PediaPlex is an amazing place to work for Working as a behavioral therapist with these wonderful children is such a rewarding experience seeing them constantly grow and improve their functional skills. The team I work with is an incredibly uplifting work family that reminds each of us the importance of our roles and our weekly team meetings helps everyone stay on same page and continually communicate on how we can improve our clients learning experiences. Couldnt ask for a better job to come to every day

Im not much into writing reviews but for this business I would gladly give 100 stars and am beyond honored to write a review for PediaPlex.I am an Ambassador Event Coordinator for a Foundation that supports kids with physical and intellectual difficulties several of the kids and families who participate in our events are also clients of PediaPlex in Alliance Southlake. The individual growth that I have seen in these kids has been nothing less than miraculous. The lady that owns PediaPlex Mrs. Kirkpatrick opened the therapy center straight from her heart she has a wealth of personal experience as a Mother of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder.Over the years she got tired of hearing the nos and refused to accept the Drs telling her what her Daughter would never be how she would never live a normal life how she would always be dependant on Mr. Mrs. Kirkpatrick for her personal needs and would never achieve normal milestones. Instead of simply accepting the diagnosis Mrs. Kirkpatrick dove into the progressive research and studies of Autism and closely associated Occupational Speech Therapy then used that knowledge to teach her Daughter and give her the tools she would need to be EVERYTHING she could be with no limitations.I have been Blessed to personally witness the PediaPlex Staff that have been hand picked and share in the same beliefs and support that Mrs. Kirkpatrick has they genuinely teach from the heart and they take great pride and joy in every childs individual achievement.If you have or know of a child that is in need of ABA Speech or Occupational Therapy and you are frustrated with people telling you what your child cant accomplish please give PediaPlex a call even if nothing more just give them the opportunity to share with you the services they offer and the individual plan that they can put together for your child. I promise you you will walk away refreshed at what the true potential of your child really is.While youre there if you want to see first hand what faith and perseverance is ask to speak to Megan a previous PediaPlex client who happens to be Mr. Mrs. Kirkpatricks Daughter she is grown now has completed college lives independently and is now working at PediaPlex as a Licensed Occupational Therapy Assistant.

Our son was diagnosed on the autism spectrum at 18months. He is now 8 years old. This journey has brought us to many facilities where our experiences have been very much like a roller coaster. The only indicators of our non verbal childs wellbeing lay in is his countenance and physical desire to willingly go to a facility where he will be made to go beyond his comfort zone. As a parent you rely on those cues to find the right fit for your child.From the time we entered PediaPlex and found Sonja and the ENTIRE PediaPlex staff we knew we had found our fit. From the time you walk in and are greeted with a smile to the time you leave anticipating your next visit. Not only is the facility ascetically pleasing to look at all around from the bright colors and themed areas but it is laid out FUNCTIONALLY which is so different than other centers. The opposite of clinical in every aspect which is not what you find in other centers.In our time at PediaPlex 2 years our son thrived and excelled. Going beyond the programming he was loved on fiercely by not only his therapist but EVERYONE in the center. Sonja has selectively built her staff to uphold the caring devoted loving but firm nature needed to guide these spirited kiddos on all levels of the spectrum.Tayla Jaymees BCBA has always gone above and beyond in planning not only Jaymees programs but assisting us in parent training weekly which no other center has ever cared to do. She prepared us for what would be the hardest year when our military commitments meant us transitioning to a new location outside of TX. We were absolutely bummed when we had to leave PediaPlex as we knew it would be hard to find anything like this in a remote location which would inevitably mean challenges in Jaymees growth. We have fought the past year for the kind of care and excellence PediaPlex offers its clients. There is nothing like it out there. Thankfully we are back in the area and the PediaPlex team is working fervently to get Jaymee back into services and back where he is progressing forward.Grateful beyond measure for PediaPlex. Sonja knows what us mothers fight hard for because she is that mother along side of us just wanting the very best for our kids. She works hard not just within the center but within the community helping people to understand and bring awareness for the Autism community. It is easy to leave him here knowing he is well cared for and receiving the absolute best services. He may verbally not be able to tell me how much he loves it but his actions and smiles tell the whole story

My son has been receiving services for OT and speech here for about a year. We have been overly satisfied with his improvement in both areas. The front office staff is very friendly and always willing to help with scheduling His therapist are fantastic and have gone above and beyond to help meet his goals. The owner has a huge heart for all her staff and clients. She has helped our family navigate through our first experience with private therapy. I love pediaplex but mostly importantly my son loves coming each week.

PediaPlex is an answer to my prayers If you are searching for a handbook on how to relate and teach your children this is the place. All of our children are different and have different needs PediaPlex helps not only your child but you I am so happy I found them. Please take a tour you wont be disappointed. My daughter has been struggling in school and life. Pediaplex has everything for figuring out your most precious gifts. My journey for helping my child in school sports and life just got much clearer. Sonia Kirkpatrick has created such a wonderful place full of the best diagnostics therapist and staff. My life will be forever changed and I know I will be a better mother because I have found PediaPlex to provide my child with the right tools.
