Stories From Families We’ve Helped
My son started OT with Steven and I have seen him improve so much already. When my son had an OT evaluation, I was completely shocked at how amazing he did on it. This was from the hard work that Steven has worked with my son.
Steven Sanford is an incredible clinician, one who I would trust with my own children. He is well trained, he is sensitive to different families’ needs, and he is very approachable–all of which speaks to his success as an occupational therapist and children’s center owner. I recommend him to my patients and to my acquaintances, without reservation. You’re in great hands with Steven and with his staff.

Steven Sanford took amazing care of our daughter when she was 3 and 4 years old. We had been told that she would likely graduate with a special diploma instead of a regular diploma. Steven and his staff encouraged us to keep fighting for her. They did an incredible job! I am proud to say that my 18 year old daughter is currently a high school senior taking honors and AP courses. She is also an intern and is a counselor for young children in a youth group every weekend. This accomplished young woman is headed for the University of Florida in the fall. We can’t thank Steven enough!

Posted by Sabrina My two year old son went to the Children’s Center after spending a year at another therapy center. The first couple of weeks I saw a difference in my son. Dana, the Director, is amazing. She is not only a great speech pathologist but she also knows about other therapies. After a couple of visits she told me that my son was exhibiting immature hand posture and low muscle tone. She urged me to get an OT and PT evaluation. We found that my son was also significantly delayed in these areas as well. I went to see a Neurologist who within our 20 minute session diagnosed my son with Childhood Apraxia of Speech. I told Dana the diagnosis and without hesitation she STRONGLY disagreed. She then urged me to get an MRI. So I did just that and thank goodness we did. The MRI found a cyst in my son’s brain. The cyst was putting pressure on the brain stem and shifted the midline of the brain. This surgeons believe this may be the cause of my … to the Children’s Center after spending a year at another therapy center. The first couple of weeks I saw a difference in my son.

It takes a lot of confidence and courage to tell someone not to go with what a neurologist says…most people would have found a new SP. Thank you Dana for advocating for my son. The world needs more professionals like you who care more about the patient and less about the financial benefit.

Posted by One Mom “My son made great progress and is thriving in his new class. At the end of last school year it was recommended that he start this school year with a shadow, but now thankfully that is not going to be necessary. He is functioning well in a typical classroom without any additional support.”

Posted by One Mom After originally starting my daughter with another therapy center (for her speech, or lack there of), I moved my daughter to Children’s Center for Therapy & Learning and couldn’t be happier with her progress. My daughter has been going to Children’s Center for just under a years time. The improvement we have seen is truly amazing. I have had parents at my daughters school approach me as well as her teacher to tell me how verbal she has become,how well her speech has improved etc…. The facility is always clean and inviting. The staff is professional and friendly.

Posted by One Mom “The changes in my child were tremendous. I received a call from my child’s school this year and I was so worried that they were going to say something bad like last year. They asked me what I did this summer and I told them about your camp, they now want to see if you can come to my son’s school to work with the other children”
