First Achievements

WOW! Kirsten Brown is the most knowledgeable therapist that I've had the pleasure of working with. With her many years of experience, she has attained a level of knowledge and creative instinct that is simply unmatchable in this industry. Her PLAY Project methods are extremely effective and I can attribute them directly to my daughter's remarkable development these past 2 years. Every session I learned new ways to understand and connect deeper with my daughter, support her development based on the level she was on, and bring out her creativity/imagination in ways that led to breakthroughs I didn't think were possible. The video clip of our first session to our most recent would shock any parent of an autistic child, and offer them a new level of hope. Kirsten gives you the tools to succeed and it is your job as the parent to follow through with those tools between each session. The results are so rewarding. I simply cannot recommend Kirsten enough-- she is simply the BEST!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Kirsten (Mrs.Kiki) was absolutely wonderful! She taught not only my daughter but my husband and I too! She helped us navigate a sensory sensitive child. This process only took 6 months, on our last session she sent extra resources to help us in the near future. After the very first session our daughter was asking to go back and play with Kiki! We can’t recommend her enough!

Kirsten is amazing and a phenomenal teacher! The Play Project is by far the best therapy our son has received. Kirsten has been so helpful in connecting us with other providers to continue to help our son. This approach needs to be shared across the world for parents struggling to get their child help with ASD.

Kirsten is the best therapist I've ever known. We see her for PLAY project. She is very knowledgeable about PLAY project and also being an occupational therapist ,she deeply understood my daughter's struggles and strengths and worked with her accordingly. Kiki helped us as parents understand our daughter more and taught us how to interact with our daughter and her interact with us. My daughter is always happy and comfortable during therapy as Kiki follows her lead and make the session a lot of fun. I can't thank Kirsten enough for everything!!

We cannot thank Kirsten enough for her patience and dedication in helping our child. We are so pleased with the results, and we thank her for all the helpful tips that we will be able to use for many years to come. Our son was always excited for our meetings with Kirsten. She's extremely knowledgeable and highly recommened!

I cannot give Kirsten at First Achievements enough stars! PLAY project has helped my daughter with autism so much. Her engagement has increased significantly and I am so happy to have the shared attention that I do today. I am forever grateful for everything Kirsten has done for my daughter and our family. Kirsten has also trained me in the Qigong massage and it has helped my daughter tremendously. When this massage is given consistently, my daughter sleeps better through the night and has regular bowel movements. QST really is a game changer! If you are thinking of giving PLAY Project a try, don’t walk, RUN! Kirsten is phenomenal!

Kirsten and PLAY project have been life changing for our family. We started seeing Kirsten just before my daughter received her autism diagnosis. It was a very challenging time for me as a parent and from my very first meeting with Kirsten, I knew my daughter was exactly where she needed to be. We had been to many different doctors, therapists, and psychologists and being a developmental therapist myself, we were surrounded by so many friends that are therapists. Kirsten is the first one that did not tell me what I needed to change about my daughter, but instead told me what I needed to change about myself to meet my daughter where she was. Our very first in-person session, Kirsten guided me on how to play with my daughter and I got to hear my daughter really laugh for the first time in months. This review could never do justice to how grateful I am to Kirsten and I cannot recommend her enough.
