My daughter has been receiving occupational therapy from Shilpa on and off for over two years now. We’ve seen an incredible amount of progress and development. Shilpa is super patient, gentle, and always available for questions and feedback. My kids and I love her, and I couldn’t recommend this facility more.

We love Stepping Stones. Shilpa and her team are amazing. My daughter loves to come “play”. We have seen such progress in her since she started going for OT. Thank you Shilpa!
My son has been receiving both occupational and speech therapy at Stepping Stone for over three years. We were referred by a friend, and it really has been a life-changing decision for our family. The progress my son has made has been incredible! The staff is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and always welcoming.

Both of my children have benefitted so much from Stepping Stones. They look forward to their visits every week as the sessions are interactive and fun. My children have showed so much progress as a result of consistent therapy. We also adore the staff here. I highly recommend! You won't regret it!
