Ever since we started at Talcott, we’ve been treated with nothing but kindness and compassion. The BCBA’s are so kind and keep you informed of your child’s progress. OT and the Speech therapists are so gentle, my kids don’t even know it’s a therapist; they think they’re playing. It’s great! I can’t say enough nice things about Talcott. I’m so happy my babies go here.
Our experience at the Talcott Center for Child Development has been truly life-changing. From day one, the staff has been welcoming, compassionate, and deeply knowledgeable. They have not only supported my son’s growth, but they’ve also helped me as a parent feel less isolated and more empowered.
Our experience over the past two years at The Talcott Center has been worth every minute of the long drive we take weekly to get there. My son enjoys the time he has spent with every SLP and OT, has gained numerous skills, and continues to make excellent progress with the help of the wonderful therapists and staff at the center.
