This place is so wonderful. I have a son who was diagnosed a little after 2 years of age with Autism, Aggressive Behavioral disorder, Speech delay (Non-verbal) and PICA (he would eat everything and anything that wasn't food). My son received Early intervention until 3 years of age. He was then referred to a school setting where he was placed in a preschool ACES program with an IEP. However, I believe this was the worst mistake I did. They didn't even follow the IEP and stated they were short staff when it came to Speech or OT services. Therefore he was babied and his behavior became worse. He started harming himself and others (biting, pinching, head butting, and throwing himself to the floor hard on his knees). I knew deep down this had to be a way for him to express himself since he didn't know how to speak. My husband and I became frustrated to the point where we needed help and didn't know how or where to ask. Following up with his developmental pediatrician, she referred him to this wonderful program Success on the Spectrum. Once he turned 4 years old he started there. He receives one on one services 5 days a week for 8 hours a day. In just one month of him attending I have seen a great difference. He is starting to say some words, point to what he wants and do "more" sign language. His behavior has also improved a lot at home and he is eating less non-food items. I am so grateful for all the staff there who has taken the time with my son. I recommend this...
Read moreI am beyond grateful for the incredible support and life-changing impact SOS in Englewood Cliffs has had on our family. Before my daughter began attending, she struggled significantly with communication. She was non-verbal, unresponsive, and prone to frequent tantrums and emotional escalations. It often felt as though I was speaking into a void, with no signs that she understood or could connect.
After just seven months at SOS, the transformation has been nothing short of remarkable. My daughter is now virtually tantrum-free and no longer experiencing the severe escalations that once consumed our days. Even more astonishing, she is now communicating with us—through words, signs, and gestures. She is responsive, expressive, and more engaged than ever before.
This experience has truly been one of the greatest blessings for our family. The progress my daughter has made is a testament to the dedication, expertise, and care provided by the team at SOS. I wholeheartedly recommend SOS in Englewood Cliffs to any family navigating similar challenges. Their work...
