This review reflects our personal experience with this ABA therapy center and our child. We joined the program last year and ultimately made the decision not to move forward with services. At intake, we were told our daughter could only be seen for three hours a day, with the explanation that once staffing improved she would be moved to a full-day schedule. We were also placed on a waitlist. Like many parents navigating autism services, we were told staffing shortages and waitlists were ongoing issues, and we chose to be patient. Eventually, our daughter began attending three hours a day, Monday through Friday. Therapy itself seemed okay at first, though the center was essentially one large room with various play objects shared among many children. Over time, our hours were reduced rather than increased. Our daughter went from five days a week to only three days a week—about nine total hours—despite a 35-minute commute each way for our family. When I raised concerns with the BCBA, the explanation again was understaffing. Each discussion about moving toward full-time services ended with the same response. This was extremely frustrating as a parent, especially during what are such critical developmental years. It began to feel like our child’s schedule and consistency were not being prioritized. As a result, we enrolled our daughter in daycare in addition to ABA, even though we have excellent insurance coverage and were now paying out-of-pocket for childcare. We placed her in the YMCA daycare and were told she would need a one-on-one aide. We were willing to accommodate that. However, the ABA center then stated they could still only provide three-hour sessions, meaning our insurance was being billed while we were also paying for full-time daycare. About a month and a half later, our daughter was removed from the daycare due to being labeled “too aggressive,” despite the fact that challenging behaviors are common and developmentally normal for many three-year-olds, particularly autistic children. We returned fully to this center, where we were then given a split schedule—sometimes mornings, sometimes afternoons, changing week to week. In our experience as parents, this lack of consistency was extremely difficult for our autistic child. We observed behaviors during this period that felt like regression, which was very concerning for us. Examples of her schedule included one week attending Monday and Wednesday mornings and Friday afternoon, with no predictable routine. From our perspective, this approach did not align with what we understand about the importance of structure and consistency for autistic children. Ultimately, we felt that our family’s concerns were not meaningfully addressed and that staffing challenges continually outweighed our child’s needs. This was a deeply discouraging experience for us as parents trying to advocate for our daughter. This review represents our experience only, but it is one we feel other families deserve to be aware of when making decisions about care.

So Love Autistic Center is a pillar organization in the heart of the Drexel Hill, Pa community. Their performance and service is stellar quality. I have personally witnessed the impact the services provided to the children that attend the program, has been life changing, not only for the children, but for the parents as well. The staff is very friendly and qualified to administer the necessary service required to get the best outcome for the children in the autistic community. If you have a child on the spectrum who is not over seven years old, I would highly recommend them to attend So Love Autistic Center. As a parent you will not be disappointed. The difference it would make can be monumental.
