If angels made it to earth and walked, Bailey would be one of them! She has been SUCH an integral part of my daughter’s developmental journey, and I can’t thank her enough for working so closely with my girl and family. We love you so much!
Wyatt has had many, many, many OTs since he started at Elite over 7 years ago. Emma has been an excellent OT. It is a wonderful, collaborative relationship and she has done a great job with Wyatt (and me). He loves Miss Emma and I’m grateful to her for all she has helped him with. I’m so glad he has such a great team of therapists that he loves so much.
Benjamin has suffered with hip dysplasia and severe pain for several years. His therapists at Elite have always been knowledgeable, comforting, and caring when it comes to his treatments and care plans. When his surgery was performed this past January, they were super supportive. When complications arose and he spent extra time in the hospital, his therapist were accommodating and compassionate. When Ben returned to his clinic sessions his therapists supported him physically as well as emotionally. His journey has been long and had its ups and downs but I am so proud to say that he accomplished his kind term goal of walking in his gait trainer, unassisted!! This would not have been possible without the amazing support of his therapists at Elite!
“I found your card in my wallet and wanted to let you know how we are doing. It has been a blessing to see [child] learn new things and grow. Thank you so much for all you and Kaylen did for us. You really did help us in some critical months and for that, I could never thank you enough.”
My husband and I noticed something was different about our son when he was still a baby. The pediatrician we had at the time dismissed my concerns, telling me I was worrying for nothing because he was my first child. I finally got fed up with her and found another pediatrician.
The first time I took Wyatt to see her she said, “The hand-flapping is not typical. Neither is the toe-walking.” I almost cried. It was nice to have my concerns validated, and not be made to feel like a crazy person. She told me to call Elite Therapy to set up an evaluation.
We went in for an evaluation and Wyatt started speech therapy with Laurie Maler on January 24, 2016. We added occupational and physical therapy in the months after. Laurie is the only therapist that has been with us the entire time. When Wyatt started speech therapy, he said a handful of words and pointed at what he wanted. We signed at first per Laurie’s suggestion, then he got tired of signing and started speaking. About a year after he started at Elite, he was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder with a secondary diagnosis of Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder.
Nearly three years later, he can speak in sentences. He says things like, “I want goldfish” or “I don’t want to wear that shirt.” I know we have a long way to go, but he has come so far. I am so proud of him, and so thankful for Laurie and Elite Therapy Center.
Everyone at Elite is so supportive. Since we’ve been there so long, they feel like family. I can’t say enough good things about this place. I love the people up there-from the therapists to the people working in the office. The owners are friendly and helpful, too.
I urge anyone who has concerns about their child to call Elite Therapy Center, and schedule an evaluation. It is a wonderful place. I’m glad I made that call three years ago. My son has benefited tremendously from being there.
I had to share! We wanted to let you know the Neuro and Immunobrain disease teams have been speaking very highly of Hannah’s therapist and have been blown away by her progress. Her attending physician pulled the residence in her room this morning as she was coloring and playing with toys and said this is why therapy is important. “Don’t ever underestimate the power of therapy.” Then he said, “…now Mrs. Bayer demands the best and Hannah’s therapist (Holly Montgomery) has emailed me updates regularly so she’s spoiled to be treated by the best,” he literally said, “I wish her therapist could see some of my other kiddos I think they’d improve more.”I think sometimes therapy seems repetitive and therapist and parents who do it day-in and day-out don’t always see the progress the same way. However, Hannah’s progress literally brought her doctors to tears. They have shared this multiple times because Holly has taken time to write long reports and email updates that the quality we have far exceeds elsewhere.
