Wonderland Child & Family Services

Our pediatrician referred us to them 6 months ago due to our concerns that our son just over 1 wasn’t talking much. At first it went well. They helped us teach our son some signs. Then at 1 year and a few months they suggested that he might have early signs of autism. A little early to judge that, but fine ok. In the following months they did very little to help him with speech suggesting nothing more than flash cards and doing more of what we are doing. At this point our son is saying a number of words and his comprehension is amazing, but he’s still behind. They haven’t told us any theories or ideas in months, and are basically just monitoring him for any oddities. So glad we have been paying for their assistance....

My son took around 6 months of speech therapy from Wonderland. Our SLP Kris gave us helpful information to communicate with him in normal situations. However, she never gave any possible ideas as to the cause, just that he wasn't developing as quickly as she would have thought (this is typical of kids with his condition). They need to encourage Wonderland SLPs to be more involved in the diagnostic process because it shouldn't have taken all of those months of therapy with very little information to go by. I finally took him to another SLP outside of Wonderland and they were quite confident he has Childhood Apraxia of Speech only by the second appointment. I had never heard of that condition in all the months we utilized Wonderland. We are now better equipped with what he needs both in therapy and at home. Wonderland was just an okay experience for us, just not as beneficial as we had hoped.

I love there service they are helping me out in a great way.
