We love Ms. Rose! Finding feeding therapy in the South Bay is incredibly difficult, so we are so thankful for Bright Steps. Rose is competent, kind, patient, knowledgeable, prompt, and easily reachable. In a short amount of time my child has made great strides, and we look forward to our continued work with her.

Therapists at this office are knowledgeable, kind, and patient, creating a positive and supportive environment for my child. My son loved attending sessions, and improved how he expresses himself and communicates with others. The service and therapists were excellent, and I have no complaints.
