“Dr. Karen Barbi has been working with my daughter for the past 4 years, and from the moment their relationship began my daughter bonded with her in a very meaningful way. I think that her instincts led her to understand that Dr. Barbi really cares about the kids that she works with, and while she continued to challenge my daughter to work through her disabilities, she did it with care. This has made all the difference.”

“When our five year old son Matthew was diagnosed with autism 2 1/2 years ago, our pediatrician gave us Dr. Anderson's phone number and urged us to contact her immediately. We have been her clients for over two years now and are very pleased with the high quality of service she has provided and the progress Matthew has made. Dr. Anderson's therapists are highly trained and supervised. They have been very supportive, responsible, dependable, and extremely knowledgeable in the area of "special needs". Dr. Anderson understands how stressful it can be for parents to arrange all the necessary therapies their children may need. She has been very flexible with us in scheduling her staff for Matthew's therapy sessions. Her office staff is available during business hours and is extremely helpful with any issues or concerns that may arise. In addition, we have found Dr. Anderson to be a very compassionate, ethical person and a trustworthy advocate for special needs children.”

Diane S.

“I am really impressed with the methodical documentation provided by ACT’s therapists. Other therapists that we engaged prior to ACT were talented, however, they did not take the time to document the challenges and successes of each session. Too, I am impressed with the positive energy that ACT’s therapists bring to each session. These professionals have a tough job but it is always nice to see them enjoy the challenges they face.”

Shawn C.
