Pediatric Minds Medical Clinic

"My son just finished ECTC last month. He was having such a tough time, and it is so difficult to get connected to the right testing and services, especially having to navigate insurance. This program was recommended by a friend and I had no idea what we were getting into, but I will be eternally grateful to this team and their expertise and support. The frequency and consistency of the therapies and parent trainings, along with the recommendations and assessments really helped paint a clearer picture that might have taken us months or years to get to otherwise. My son really benefitted from the intervention, and we started to see him more relaxed, flexible, and happy than he had been in a long time. I learned so much as a parent, and am so grateful for all of the very helpful tools that were shared. The support was unlike anything we've experienced, and the comprehensive model makes so much sense. Particular thanks to Dr. Cori and Mr. Simone for all their insight and support!"

"Pediatric Minds ECTC is an amazing program with an extremely caring and experienced team. We went into the program worried that it was going to be too intense for what we thought we needed at the time, but now I hate to imagine what would have happened if we had just struggled along patching one-off services without the comprehensive insights and deep intensive kick-start that we got from ECTC. We have observed a tremendous shift in our 4 yr old son's fundamental ability to make friends, and to manage his emotions and social dynamics. He "graduated" the ECTC program a different little guy, even reading our reports now, from his assessment when he started, it's almost hard to remember back to then, because of the progress he has made. His teachers also can't say enough good things about the positive skills and outlook that this program gave him. We feel so incredibly lucky that we found ECTC. Now that we are through the program, we are still lining up ongoing long-term supports ... but now we are spring-boarding those services off of a foundation of solid success, and we have a focused understanding of what will help him, and we have a very clear road-map to navigate the sea of different services that are out there. And so much more light, and delight, has been brought back into our day to day life. I wish that on any family."

"I want to say that I feel very grateful that my son is getting the therapy he needs with Pediatric Minds, the people who work there is very kind, and they really know how to make kids comfortable. After 6 months of therapy, I can see how my son is better with his behaviors, his eye contact, transitions... when my son received the autism diagnosis, my husband and I couldn't believe it, but now with the therapy he has received we have hope that my son will be able to be independent, and have a quality of life in the future."

"My 4-year-old son completed 12 weeks at the Pediatric Minds Early Childhood Treatment Center for Autism Spectrum Disorder, several speech disorders/delays, and a rare genetic syndrome. I cannot say enough good things about the people, the program, and the results. Everyone at the clinic is kind, knowledgable, passionate, empathetic, and invested. I felt like all of the staff went above and beyond to support our son and family as a whole. The strategies, tools, and resources we were given over the 3 months have been invaluable. He loved going to "camp" every single day and formed close relationships with both the therapists and other kids. His speech exploded, social skills skyrocketed, and overall we've seen him grow leaps and bounds. I personally learned so much from the parent observations, trainings, and weekly therapy sessions. The program gives you loads of information and resources for the present and the future. I have been incredibly grateful for this program and highly, highly recommend it to anyone with a child who is on the spectrum or has any other special needs. It's been the best decision we ever made!"

"My advice on Pediatric Minds ECTC program: Enroll now! And don't look back. My Son is 3 years old and he has Autism. He graduated from the ECTC Program today and I am a proud parent for the accomplishments he has achieved from the short time he has been with them. He started in July this year with ECTC and has grown exponentially, socially and mentally. I'm not going to get into what specifically they worked on with my son because every kid is different. What I will say is that the tools, resources, and advices they have given us is more valuable than any other provider has given us thus far. It was an honor working with them and we are truly humbled by their team and the help they have given my son. I would do it a hundred times over if I could. Please take advantage when the opportunity arises to get into this program. Here's my story. When I found out that my son was showing signs of Autism more than a year ago, I was lost and didn't know what to do or how to help him. During that time, I dealt with border line denial of my son's diagnosis. I went through countless evaluations, trial and error with therapies and providers, and running into issues where I lacked confidence in some of their methodologies. I questioned everything that I was seeing and everything that I was hearing. It was almost as if I felt I had an inside voice that was telling me something is missing. Call it mothers intuition I guess. Yet, I still had to try to do everything I could possibly do and get because time is of the essence and my son needed help. It was only until I heard about this ECTC program in Torrance through our Lawyer, who is an advocate for disabled persons, guided me to programs like ECTC that will provide an in-depth holistic approach to helping children like my son. And oh boy! My Lawyer proved why she was getting paid the big bucks. This is a 10 week program (depending on your insurance). You can expect 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, weekly virtual meetings with the psychologist/lead ABA supervisor, and weekly virtual/in-person parent observations. Through this program you'll get parent strategies, assessments/reports, diagnoses, referrals, any recommended testing like EEG and Genetic tests, and the list goes on. All in all, I am walking away with the proper tools and valuable resources, and I'm walking away with confidence in the knowledge they have given me to help my son. This was truly a humbling experience for me and for our family. I learned so much. Thank you to Pediatric Minds for existing and for helping children like my son."
