Ally Pediatric Therapy - Central Phoenix

Wow! Where do I even start…. 5 stars just is not good enough for OUR experience with Ally pediatrics (so with fair warning) this is going to be a long review….why?…. Well because a service and your experience with therapy like ABA can’t be summarized in just one paragraph! So first of all a quick message to the parents considering Ally, ABA can be a highly debated therapy with people in either camp strongly believing they are right and the other is wrong… whatever you choose for your child and your family is correct! Advocate for your child because what may work for someone else’s kid, may not be a good fit for your kid and vice verse because why? Because every kid is different! Wow! Crazy right! And in saying that, Ally worked amazingly for my child and my family. He received services there for a year (recently graduated) with in that time he worked with 3 amazing Techs, each who brought there own personalities and guidance into his life. They treated him with respect, worked with him and put his needs first, he was excited to go there daily and learn new skills and build routines (yeah sure, some days he didn’t want to…. I mean damn, does anyone like getting up and going to work on a Monday?) Our child started just after he turned 3 and as a parent that’s pretty scary! But at no point did we feel uncomfortable with the any of the staff at the facility which made it pretty easy for us to trust them with our kiddo. They have security measures to make sure nobody who is not meant to be there can enter and no chance of any kiddos being able to run out of the building. We had meetings with the BCBA every 2 weeks, which we would go over the goals, where he was at with meeting them and any game plans that we wanted to implement at home that would line up with what he was working on at Ally. On top of this, at pick up, his Tech would inform us on daily activities, eating and potty habits which helped us know where he was at with his day! Ally is a Nut free location, and they were always aware of any allergies a child may have. Our kid was sent home a few times for having loose bowl movements which makes sense and am thankful for as, if there was any viral sickness, it would help preventing it from spreading amongst the kids. I think 2 times he was sent home because he was so tired/not feeling well, that he didn’t want to participate in activities and just wanted to nap! Sure I can see why someone could find this annoying but this is not child care! It is an active therapy and if your child wants to sleep the whole session then they can’t work with them that day. (I mean, some days I just want to sleep so it’s understandable that some days, your little one may just need a break) Anyways, I’m rambling! Ally was an incredible fit for our child and his needs! I can’t speak highly enough about the BCBA and Techs that he was lucky enough to work with! Based on our personal experiences and child’s needs, I highly recommend Ally Pediatrics!

There are no words to express the gratitude that I have for the center and the staff within. I was very fortunate to have the support that I had for my daughter and our family because from the beginning of her time spent at ally, all the way until the end, she has bloomed . The staff goes above and beyond to engage with the child and with our family. Not only that, the staff is well educated and can help your child succeed. I am extremely grateful and honestly, an emotional wreck that we left the center, though my daughter is moving to another awesome opportunity to blossom even more. Again, thank you very much for all the dedication, care, and support, that you have provided to us! You guys will be missed incredibly. I’m so sad, but honestly, very thankful and proud. I would recommend anyone needing Aba services in a heart to this center.

I'll start with the positives. Contacting the office was easy,easy to ask questions and get information, scheduling evaluation, not very long wait. Unfortunately the speech therapy, and therapist was not meeting expectations. The therapist was always professional, and welcoming, but needs more practice in the field IMO, I didn't feel the sessions were beneficial. We have since switched to a different office I'm familiar with and I was right, our new office ( you can tell) has more experience in the field.

The Staff is amazing and thoughtful. We did alot of research to finding ABA therapy for our child and I’m so blessed to have found them. The staff goes above and beyond for our child. Our child has had so much positive progress since starting and the parents even get tips and tricks on how to help their child succeed at home. I’ve had nothing but a positive experience with the entire staff. Marissa is an amazing person and super knowledgeable.

My son went to Ally for a year and a half and I wish I would have never chose them! I have put him in a different place and it has been life changing! Ally always had me come pick up my son when he didn’t want to participate or when he was crying, which was 4 out of 5 days a week they weren’t accurate with their information and reports were never updated! They were unprofessional and judgmental! Do not take your kid there if you want your kid to succeed and grow! Laura M
