Our son’s auditory system was in fight and flight mode. Cardinal Kids and their use of Tomatis brought his system back to normal. We have our son back!

Jimmy looks forward to his weekly OT sessions (with Mrs. Bruno.) This morning he said, “Mrs. Bruno is the coolest, she’s a rock star!” We are thrilled with the growth in Jimmy through sensory integration therapy and the Tomatis listening program.

Cardinal Kids Therapy is truly a hidden treasure! I am a mom of a 6 year old with sensory and motor planning issues. From November to March 2013-2014, my daughter went through 3 loops of Intensive Therapy with the Solisten/Tomatis program. Not only did my daughter make vast improvements, our family has been forever changed. While this program was a big investment, our family is so grateful for how the Solisten/Tomatis program, coupled with OT, has helped Julia and minimized what used to be daily family struggles and lots of crying, hitting and screaming. I am so grateful and AMAZED that my daughter is now happier, more even-tempered and more confident in trying and accomplishing things.The list of improvements in Julia’s skills and abilities since starting to see Cardinal Kids is truthfully too long to list. But I can say with the utmost of confidence that Julia would not be where she is today without the Intensive Listening Therapy program and the OT from Natalie.

The staff’s thoroughness, knowledge and abilities to teach with love and care are evident and made my daughter feel comfortable from Day 1 – which in and of itself is AMAZING! My daughter loves seeing them and even with the intensity of visits with Solisten/Tomatis program, she always looks forward to going to the loving environment that they’ve has created. I highly recommend Cardinal Kids to anyone considering OT for their child and especially recommend the intensive programs available.

Cardinal Kids, LLC is a hidden treasure – truly an amazing place!

My daughter has visited Cardinal Kids for a year, and the improvements have been remarkable. We are seeing them for developmental delays in speech and sensory issues and are using the Tomatis program. This program is outstanding. My daughter before starting Tomatis had practically no speech and very little understanding of speech. She now speaks using one word and understands so much. She has incredible awareness and engagement all of which were not present before Tomatis. Tomatis has opened up her world and given us great hope. The staff is fully devoted and gives an individualized approach to treatment plans. Cardinal Kids is a wonderful place and the Tomatis program is outstanding!

Many say it takes a village to raise a child; the reality of having a child on the autism spectrum and with sensory processing issues makes this ring even truer for my family and me. Ms. Natalie has become an integral part of our “village!” She is warm, kind, nurturing yet firm, extremely knowledgeable and fun. My son Kyle works with Ms. Natalie once a week on both gross and fine motor skills. He is now more confident on the playground with peers. He actually looks forward to writing his letters in preparation for kindergarten. Kyle lights up when he sees Ms. Natalie and he has “grown up” tremendously with her in terms of appropriate eye contact and conversational language. They share a special bond. Even more special, is that Ms. Natalie knows me, my husband and Kyle’s brother well now, and she takes the time to be a support when we may need it most with something going on at home that is affecting Kyle’s behavior and progress. Thank you to Ms. Natalie and Cardinal Kids Therapy for making a difference in Kyle’s life and for being part of our important village!

Prior to meeting the staff at Cardinal Kids, we spent one grueling year trying to get our insurance company to cover OT services for our son that were recommended by a large children’s rehabilitation hospital. Once we met , they reviewed our situation quickly, completed a few additional assessments of our son and within a week, we had the approvals we needed to get our child the services he desperately needed.

Cardinal Kids quickly got to know our son, including his various strengths and weaknesses. From the very first visit, our son has loved working with them and doesn’t realize how hard he’s working because they make it so engaging and interactive. They keep their sessions fresh by introducing new activities and techniques, some of which include innovative technology resources.

While driving by the office one day recently, my son recounted a conversation when they told him he was doing so well that he wouldn’t need them anymore. He said, “I’d never leave. I like them too much. That would be like Tom Brady leaving the NFL mid-season. Why would he ever do that?” I’d say this sums up the beautiful working relationship they have.

Natalie was one of the first clinicians to evaluate my daughter as a whole little person–not just a diagnosis or specific deficit. She listens to my concerns (and brags) and is 100% focused on my baby when we are there. My daughter giggles when I tell her it’s time to see Ms. Natalie and runs right to her office to smile her hello when we get there. My daughter has made tremendous progress with her sensory issues, behavior and speech since starting OT at Cardinal Kids.
