Growing Kids Therapy Center

My experience so far is top notch! I have learned so much in my first two sessions as a parent with Ms. Kelly Berg! She is an amazing teacher! I'm so hopeful and I know my son Nile will excel in this program ! I highly recommend !

The staff at Growing Kids are amazing and highly professional. Please understand that this, or any, method is not a magic wand - it takes a variable amount of time and must be done correctly (as trained practitioners do it). The core principles of coaching the motor system and presuming competence have been for my family, are as others have said, LIFE CHANGING. Anyone can leverage and apply those completely logical ideas for positive change, beyond the realm of communication. One of the biggest challenges with this change may be rewiring our own brains (not our spellers) to see how the “experts” and those they inform, including us parents, innocently misinform about autism because the diagnostic manual overlooks the motor planning required by cognitive testing and sentences those without the required motor planning to succeed at those tests to “intellectual disability”. Also, let’s cut doubters all the slack they need to come around from what the “experts” say by patiently continuing to share what we see S2C doing for our spellers. Open and respectful dialogue is so important.

S2C is allowing the new "shift". Thank you for all that you do.

Growing Kids Therapy Center along with our Grandson's teacher Christie Phillips has been a life saver for Logan and for his family. We had no idea the language skills Logan possessed until he began his speller training with Christie - we have hope for Logan's future in communicating with us. Thank you thank you

Our experience has been nothing short of life changing. We discovered our son had aptitudes, thoughts, feelings we were completely unaware of. When we first went, they told us two things. 1 You are welcome here and we have seen every kind of behavior from children on the spectrum. This alone was so very welcome Vs the treatment we have received at so many places with our son. 2. Success will not come overnight and the early part of the journey will be bumpy. It was...but we pressed on and received constant encouragement to do so. The ability to communicate with our son has been life changing. It is NOT voodoo or sleight of hand and the online critics that say the instructors manipulate the students hands on the boards have no idea what the hell they are talking about. EV is brilliant as are the people who work here and they combine this with the kindest most empathetic disposition. Its one of the few places in the world I feel like we can just be. And we asked my son in a session how he felt about coming there. He typed "I love it here." I could not be a bigger supporter. **Life Changing.**

We started S2C when our son was 13. GKT and Spelling has changed our lives. Our son (now 15) is now sharing his thoughts, poetry and writing with us and it has been amazing to finally get to know him through his own words via spelling. We spent years seeking various therapies and supports, S2C has been by far the most successful therapy we have tried. Our son loves being with his peers and the supportive staff at GKT. The staff has really helped our family to better understand ours son’s motor challenges. The confidence he has gained through spelling has led to global progress in all areas. We are so grateful for GKT.

We feel so blessed to have found growing kids therapy center! My son is a 10 year old , he is an unreliable speaker with autism. We traveled from Detroit for the 2 day out of town therapy. We had such a great experience. Kelly Berg was our therapist and she is incredible! I met so many amazing families in the waiting room, and I witnessed what I consider miracles! We are so excited to be on this journey!
