Testimonials

Therapy Solutions for Children is an awesome practice staffed with the most wonderful and caring occupational therapists in Maryland. My son has worked with Ms. Allison, Ms. Teresa, and Ms. Cindy, all of whom are wonderful but there are plenty more smiling faces who also work there. I cannot begin to describe how much of an impact they have had with the treatment for my son. He has learned confidence, social skills, improved motor planning etc., just to name a few. When he first started he could not play on the monkey bars or catch a ball, or say many words. He had a lot of difficulty with fine motor tasks, but he has improved leaps and bounds! In the lobby, you will meet wonderful other families and be able to share stories and share the same struggles raising special needs children. I cannot stop praising this place!

- parent of a child on the autism spectrum.

My son Michael was afraid of going to the park since he was a toddler. In fact, we used to count the minutes until he had a meltdown and cried, and then we would sadly take him home, with tears in our eyes, too. He was fearful of the swings and slides, and things like elevators and escalators were scary to him. Roughhousing with his younger brother always resulted in tears or tantrums. I had a PT evaluate him, but she said there was nothing physically wrong with him, so she could not help him. After working with OT for Children, he began to enjoy what most other children love-spinning, climbing, bounce parties- it Is like a totally different child. He laughs and wrestles with his younger brother now, and everyone In the family Is so much happier now that he can enjoy the world around him!

Thank you so much,

Amy - A Grateful Mother

Your staff has done so very much with Sam in such a short period of time, we are not willing to give that up His writing has improved tremendously, his coordination is continually improving, behavior, vision, focus/attention span - he is even able to occasionally do some of his class work independently now Keith and I attribute these improvements to the work Mary Beth and Marie have done with him and the staff at his school. Thanks so much for all of your help,
