Testimonials

Joining the Basal Therapies family has without a doubt been the best decision that we have made for our son. We had been receiving Early Intervention services for about 6 months for our son’s global developmental delays when we felt that we needed a more direct and intensive approach to support his unique needs. Fast forward less than a year, the growth that we have seen is insurmountable! We’ve quickly seen how much he thrives in a structured and supportive environment through Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and part-time pre-school. He is more communicative, confident, flexible, and thriving in all areas of his social, emotional, and physical development. It has been so validating to be surrounded by such a supportive team who truly understand and love our son for who he is. We cannot express how much we appreciate the knowledgeable and skilled professionals at Basal Therapies and will be forever grateful for their services.

Basal has been such a gift to our family. When we began our journey at Basal, we felt lost and unsure of how to support our daughter’s needs. Since then, our daughter has participated in speech with Amanda, the preschool readiness program, and is now in the 2’s class with Angie. The progress she has made in her speech, self-help skills, and engagement has been amazing. Not only has Basal been an incredible support to our daughter, but to our entire family. The specialists and educators at Basal work collaboratively to create a plan to meet the needs of each individual child, which is evident in their interactions, communication, relationships, and lessons. There has been no greater joy as a parent than to know that when I take my daughter to Basal, I am leaving her in the hands of professionals who love, accept, and celebrate her for just who she is. The dedication, knowledge, patience, and empathy of this staff is unmatched and we feel blessed everyday that we found Basal.

Basal Preschool is an amazing addition to our village. The care, love, and learning my son has received is unmatched. He is excited to go to school each day and loves to show us all the things he learned and did at school. We love to show him the pictures that are shared with us throughout the day. The communication between the school and home is great. Mrs. Angie and Mrs. Meghan are always responsive and honest. We truly love Basal and are so happy that our son gets to go there. It is setting him up for success and a great first step on his educational journey.
