The Ely Center was the only place I could find that welcomed us immediately and was able to accommodate the varying needs of both boys. Their integrated approach allows for consistent messaging throughout the various therapies (OT, Speech and Language, mental health), and they have truly connected with both my sons and with me. They provide me with parent coaching to help me understand the complexities of their diagnoses and how I can best support them. We have already adjusted services to recognize new milestones (for example, one of my sons can now handle a group social skills class) as well as our specific needs. To my surprise and delight, the staff of The Ely Center has also been in direct communication with the faculty and staff at my boys’ school, advising them on the best ways to support each boy. Both boys are progressing rather quickly, and their transition back to school has been smoother than anticipated. The therapists at The Ely Center have already developed strong and impactful relationships with both of my children and with me. The integrated approach has already proven to be successful and productive.
