Christine J.

I love this place! All the staff including therapists, BCBA and director are so good, friendly and helpful. They are always ready to listen and hear my concerns and adjust my son's therapy. I also love that they have so much space inside. They have everything you can only think about for your child: indoor playground, sensory room, art room, all kinds of toys and books. Each child could find something interesting there. I'm really happy that my son is finally here. I saw a couple more clinics. And this one is the best for sure!

We recently visited Wellspring and met with both Eric and Gerardo. They were both welcoming and enthusiastic to meet with us. This new clinic was absolutely stunning and very well thought out for both function and therapeutic success. Each room serves a purpose and focuses on specific goals a learner might have in their programming. Their enrollment process and parent support is excellent. We are excited to be able to use Wellspring for therapeutic matching for our clients!
