What People Are Saying About Us

Some of the reviews, testimonials, and success stories we got from families

"Tumble-N-Dots is an amazing center! Our autistic daughter attended their summer camp, and we were absolutely blown away by the progress she made. She's not a morning person, and it's usually a challenge to get her out of bed for school, but for this program, she hopped up every morning excited to go! The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, and it's clear they truly care about the children. You can tell this isn't just a job for them - they are dedicated to supporting the kids in a meaningful way. I 100% recommend Tumble-N-Dots for anyone who has a child that needs a little extra support."

"We brought our child (my grandson) to TUMBLE N DOTS therapeutic learning program, and it is the absolute best thing ever for a child that has developmental needs, or if they're developing their speech and language and you want them in a academic environment. Ms Avital is a visionary that anticipates the needs of both the children and parents! We are so happy to find the perfect place where there is a positive motivating environment. And his instructors Ms Angelina and Ms Adrienne are professional, friendly, warm and welcoming! If you are looking for an academic setting that is also therapeutic for your child that has speech delay, developmental delay or any kind, of developmental challenges, including ASD this is a safe, happy and healthy place for your child to prepare for K thru 8 grade. And it is not a public school with a ridged environment. Ms Avital's Tumble N' Dots is a fabulous place. (They have everything including zip lining in the building)! IT'S SIMPLY AMAZING!!"

"This clinic has done wonders for our lil one with Autism level 2. Their curriculum and commitment by far is the best compared to all the other clinics we've been. They never give up and they find ways to help encourage your child to engage. In such a short amount of time we've seen how hard their team works with our child and we wouldn't trade it for anything. Although Tumble N Dots specialize in OT they also partner with ST to help our munchkin with her speech difficulties. We love Tumble N Dots and we will be forever grateful for all that they've done in helping our child flourish. I personally feel emotional writing this because we found them during a time wherein other clinics and therapist were unable to support our child. They were heaven sent during a very difficult time. Thank you for never giving up and for being there for our family. We wish Ms. Avital and her team nothing but the very best! We love you guys."

"We took our daughter to Tumble N' Dots for a feeding therapy evaluation and were impressed immediately by the professionalism, attention to details and the approach taken by the OT, Ms Lichelle Fernando, and the team. We were able to see noticeable improvements with our daughter within couple of sessions and have seen significant improvements with each subsequent session. The interactive and gentle approach they are taking makes it an activity that our daughter looks forward to attending. With realistic and practical instructions given to us as parents by Ms Lichelle, we've been able to help our daughter continue her exercises at home with ease. We highly recommend Lichelle and Tumble N' Dots!"
