MeBe Seattle Learning Center

The staff here truly care about the kids. My son absolutely loves going and has developed so many new skills through ABA and speech services. We are so glad we found MeBe!

Their evaluation is not tailored for SLP, it’s $300 for the same evaluation the school can provide. Do not waste your money. The technician tried to speak over my child and insist he can read good when he can not. I was told this evaluation would have more insight than the schools, it was the same. They do not provide a pre assessment to check and see if it’s a waste of time. You can hear children screaming and it’s a stressful environment.

I have had 3 kids attend ABA and speech therapy at MeBe Bellevue. We moved here from out of state, and the staff made the move easy. They coordinated with the previous ABA facility to get latest assessments and current techniques that we were using. We were able to coordinate a start date 2 months out for all 3 kids. My kids have worked with 3 BCBAs and many RBTs here and they’ve all been wonderful and helped my kids progress and transition to school. The BCBAs are always suggesting resources and fun community activities we can participate in. All of the therapists here are kind and fun! My oldest daughter is non-verbal, elopes, and self-harms. Amber, the speech therapist, progressed her on her AAC device from short requests to full sentences, which was such a great achievement that the school district’s speech therapist was impressed. One of the therapists, Christina, was especially great with my daughter! She was always smiling and took things at my daughter’s pace. All of the therapists encouraged my daughter to use her AAC device and the few verbal words she has. My daughter is in kindergarten now, and the BCBAs provided assessments to the school district to aid in the IEP process, and offered to help during the IEP process as well. They continue to ask about her even though she’s not at MeBe anymore! My middle child has emotional regulation issues and the RBTs at this location are phenomenal at encouraging him to self-soothe and come up with techniques he can use to separate himself from whatever is bothering him. My youngest has mild autism, and the therapists here have gotten her up to speed with where she should be for her age. Aleesha is helping us with my younger kids’ transitions to preschool. MeBe has been on board with all of our personal goals in addition to the insurance goals. We’ve worked on potty training, speech, emotional regulation, parallel play, working in groups, and many, many other skills. They make all of the tasks fun, so the kids aren’t just working at a table. They’re playing games, making a mess, talking through feelings, singing songs! My kids have seen great progress here and have enjoyed their time here.

Thank you, Alicia, Teddy, Laura, and Ali, for your incredible support and dedication to helping Ifnan. It’s inspiring to see the progress and positive changes he’s achieving every day. A heartfelt thank you to the entire MeBe team for creating such a wonderful experience for him. I am confident in your continued efforts and look forward to seeing him improve every day. I truly believe in all of you!

If I could give this place ZERO stars, I absolutely would. I am extremely disappointed with how MeBe handled my daughter's case. For the past three months, we’ve been reaching out to arrange speech and ABA services, only to face constant delays and an exhausting process. Eventually, the intake coordinator began speech services, explaining that ABA would take even longer to initiate. Since MeBe assured us they would provide services, we rearranged my daughter's school schedule to accommodate, planning for her to be at MeBe from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM each day. We even signed a Release of Information form so her school could communicate directly with MeBe. Finally, after all this back-and-forth, we met with their BCBA on Monday. My daughter, used to returning to school immediately after speech services, was upset and reluctant to stay. The BCBA worked with her for maybe 10 minutes before she insisted on her candy bar and going home. Today, MeBe informed us they couldn't take her, claiming their staff isn’t equipped to work with her. Autism is a spectrum—children with varying needs will always seek services. Why didn’t they disclose that their program is only suitable for high-functioning, verbal children? They wasted not only our time but their own, and, most importantly, my daughter’s time—time that could have been spent seeking appropriate support elsewhere.

We have been coming here for a little over 2 years for ABA, speech and feeding therapies. My son absolutely loves going into therapy and he has made so much progress since he started with them. After completing his ABA program we decided to stay with MeBe to continue his feeding and speech. He has so much fun when in therapy and I love seeing all progress he has made. I highly recommend them.

We left another ABA centre in early 2020 after having a mediocre experience and did a ton of research, including interviewing a number of ABA providers before deciding on MeBe. Our son has had in home and in-clinic ABA with MeBe for over 2 years as well as OT and speech therapy when they added those services and I have been extremely satisfied with the level of care, the quality of therapists, and what my son has learned and accomplished in that time. I have loved having MeBe as part of our son’s team. They staff feels like the perfect size where there are rarely gaps in staffing and getting the right amount of hours is not a challenge but where most of the BTs still know my son’s name and my face even if they haven’t worked directly with our family. The quality of the clinical staff is phenomenal and they are very collaborative. All in all I would recommend MeBe to any family looking for ABA, speech, and occupational therapies.
