Therapy At Play

Our son has been going to Therapy At Play for a couple of months now and we have noticed a huge improvement in his speech.
The therapists and everyone who works there provides excellent customer service and are kind thoughtful people.
Very happy here.

My 27 month old son was seen here from September through January for a speech delay. Scheduling and communication were easy with the co-​owner, Zorah. We were placed with Miss Paige, who was very understanding and really tried to find what interested my son, so we could expand his vocabulary. She always answered my questions and had wonderful suggestions. We are only leaving because my son has made such amazing progress — he’s mostly all caught up! If we need speech services again, I’ll definitely be back!

Our daughter has been going to Therapy at Play for three months and we noted significant improvement with her language skill. She is 5 ½ yr old and we always have had doubts about her speech/​communication skills. However, her pediatrician reassured that she didn’t have any speech issues (he based it on pronunciation). As she was about to enter kindergarten, we grew more concerned because she was still having trouble expressing herself. Once we met with the speech therapist, it finally cleared our understanding that it wasn’t the speech, but the language skill that our daughter is lacking. Corrie is our daughter’s speech therapist. She is very engaging and our very shy daughter felt so comfortable even at her initial session. She understood exactly the area that we were concerned with and I felt she tailored the therapy session really well for her.
The owner Zarah was very friendly and accommodating with the appointment time requested. Communciation was done primarily via email. The fee they charge is reasonable. For any parents who is wondering if you kid needs speech therapy, have your child evaluated by a licensed speech therapist and you can find out your option. We wished we didn’t weigh in so much of our daguther’s pediatrician’s opinion and had started her at Therapy at Play sooner!

After my son’s preschool teacher told us that after 6 months she still has trouble understanding him at school we decided just to get him tested and see if he could benefit from speech therapy. We weren’t overly worried as we were able to understand him but we have noticed him becoming shy when he interacts with peers or other adults and they don’t seem to understand him right away. I Unilocaled and googled places for speech therapy in our area. Not that many places have been reviewed.
But when I called Therapy at Play Zarah (the owner) was very friendly and helpful and we made an appointment for an assessment. His speech therapist was Miss Katie and we just love her! She has a sweet, humorous and caring personality. My son and her connected very well. My son thrived within those two months of speech therapy and I do not regret this step ever. We were paying out of pocket as our insurance didn’t cover but it was totally worth it. My son now catches himself if he misses his «s» in certain words and corrects himself. His speech is very clear and he articulates his needs/​thoughts very clearly. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome!
Thank you very much!

Therapy at Play has been an exceptional and truly uplifting enviornment for my daughter from the very beginning. I went online and found Therapy at Play. I spoke with the owner of the facility, Zarah, who put me at ease immediately. She was not pushy; only listened and patiently heard me out. She advised my daughter come in and get a consultation. As soon as I walked into the door at Therapy at Play, I felt instantly comfortable with its warm surroundings. It was clean and up to date. I met with Zarah whom both my daughter and I immediately took to with ease and comfort with. My daughter absolutely loved attending her therapies. Zarah also came out to my daughter’s pre school to observe her in her setting and how she interacted with her peers. My teachers have reached out to me with tears in their eyes (litearlly) saying thank you for getting the help my daughter has needed and what a tremendous difference they have seen in her. I truly believe Miss Zarah and her incredible staff (Miss Courtney, Miss Katie, Miss Jane) are gifted and talented in what they do– they care very deeply about the kids they work with and my daughter has gotten nothing but the best treatment and support out there. Today was a bittersweet day– all of my daughter’s goals– short and long term have been unbelievably met. It’s bittersweet as we will miss our twice weekly meetings with Zarah as she’s such a compassionate and lovely person who knows how to work with kids and their very scared and clueless parents! Whenever a new parent would walk into the waiting room, I would always reassure them they were in the best of hands. I never had that reassurance and had to learn on my own so that is why I am writing this review– so others can understand they are in a place that is not pushy– they truly do have the best interest of the kids and their treatment plans. As a parent, you always want to protect and help your kids and not expose them to «unnessary» treatments– but this facility is without a doubt– one of the-​if not the– best. We love you Miss Zarah! Thank you to all. You have been medicine to my daughter’s brain and have given her the confidence to work through her difficulties and with that, you will always have a place in our hearts.

Therapy at Play has been a wonderful experience for our son Luke. He was just under three years old and was struggling to keep up with his peers in learning to talk. We tried a couple other clinics/​therapists prior to Therapy at Play. The first one had him crying within 10 minutes on our initial interview, and the second was not much better. It was obvious to us that Luke was a bit embarrassed and ashamed that he was behind, and the therapy sessions were going to have to be presented as something fun and enjoyable to make this work. The therapists at Therapy at Play were great at this, mixing play time and learning so that he would be eager to go to his sessions. Luke loved going to Therapy at Play, and as he became more confident the content started to shift to more learning and less play. Therapy at Play at has been a great experience for our family. The counselors and therapists are highly-​trained, professional and know how to make it fun.

My son has been going to Therapy at Play for Speech and Occupational Therapy since February of 2011. I have nothing but praise for Zarah and Courtney, the therapists who run TAP, as well as the therapists who have cared so well for my son.
We started with Speech Therapy and our initial therapist, Caroline, was incredibly caring and patient even though my little guy was not very forthcoming with speech at that stage! I credit her with teaching him how to sit still to listen to songs, use some sign language and learn how to take turns — skills that were a great help when he started preschool soon afterwards.
We had to change therapists twice after that (Katie and Danielle) due to our family’s time constraints. At first I was a bit concerned about the impact of the change, but each time, discovered that the therapists were every bit as caring, considerate and supportive of both my son and my husband and me. When you’re dealing with something as emotional as discovering that your child is likely to have life-​long special needs, it is really wonderful to have professionals like the TAP team backing you up.
Another thing that impressed me was when Michelle, the OT that my son saw for about 9 months, told us that he had improved his skills so much that he didn’t need OT on a regular basis. Instead, she recommended that she follow up with him on occasion to make sure that he stayed in step with where he should be for his age. We cut OT down to once a month and now we plan on seeing her about 2x per year only.
All in all, I am completely happy with the service we get at Therapy at Play. Zarah is also an angel for handling our challenging insurance provider! If you’re looking for a great place for your child to progress and learn, I highly recommend Therapy at Play.
