Summit Behavioral Solutions

It’s rare to find a BCBA with as much experience, heart, and genuine compassion as Angelina, especially in Puyallup. She is generous, thoughtful, and goes above and beyond for the families she serves, as well as the staff she mentors. Her decades of experience in ABA in addition to being a parent who has navigated raising a child with autism make her guidance truly exceptional. Her commitment speaks for itself—and those ready for growth and meaningful change couldn’t be in better hands.

My child attended this ABA for a month.. There were a few incidents that were not documented. Such as, on his 1st day his head was sat on by another peer and nobody noticed till he started screaming. Another incident where he was crying so hard... for 15mins and instead of being redirected he continued crying hard to the point of stress hives (which hes never had before), and his last day when female peer was pushing and pulling on him causing a bruise on his elbow. The staff checked his body for injury after incident and played it off as an old bruise. None of those incidents where documents, only verbally told to me. I asked to have them in writing for my records and was denied. Owner of the company stated "I will, however, be speaking with the team tomorrow during our meeting in regards to the incident in the sensory room as there should be much more interference regarding peer interaction and ensuring that all children are playing safely." He had 1 incident that caused a huge lump on his eye. He appeared to have been hit by another peer. When I showed up to pick him up they tried to tell me it was a stress hive, I said he was obviously punched in the eye. None of staff were around to witness what actually happened. These children are not being closely watched. They do 2 children on 1 technician and they don't group the children based off their poor behavior. After leaving aba my child picked up all the bad behaviors the other children had that he did not have upon begining treatment. My child was traumatized. I am posting here because there was absolutely zero accountability taken upon by staff management and owner of the company. The owner Angela failed to address my greivances with any empathy or compassion. These are our children and they have no voice. Save yourself the heartache and trauma and do not bring your child to this clinic.

Angelina and her team have provided amazing insight. She has always been willing to answer questions. Highly recommend them.

Summit Behavioral Solutions recently expanded to this new location which is conveniently placed and has plenty of free parking in the back of the building. Therapy rooms of different sizes allow kids to have the space they want to explore, or the space they need to feel secure. The owner goes above and beyond to accommodate the schedule and the needs of the families fortunate enough to be seen here. The owner and her team truly keeps children and their families at the heart of their values. Thank you for the work you do!!

Summit Behavioral Solutions has been an excellent community resource and partner. The owner truly cares about helping kids and families, and this sets her apart from the rest. She goes above and beyond to seek out additional resources and therapies for the kids Summit serves, outside of their regularly-scheduled appointments. Highly recommend!
