Parent favorites....take it or leave it.

All of the below picks are completely subjective to the parent and to the child. What one person may find helpful, another may not. 

Art Therapy
Tina Montagna-Tate M.A., A.T.R.-B.C., L.P.C. is an excellent local art therapist for children and families.  She is located
at the Straube Center 609-818-0285- Carla MacGuigan

Law
Special needs law:
They specialize in special needs law. We had them construct our wills, special needs trust, etc.  They are also good at answering all kinds of questions regarding special needs law and special education. -Heather
 
Occupational Therapy
Pediatric Therapy Solutions, LLC , Michelle Davis-Korngut 
Michelle worked at Bear Tavern for many many years and is now moving on to private practice. She is a really amazing OT!

Speech Therapy
Kim is great with my child on the autism spectrum.  She has a fun style and likes kids a lot. He has made a lot of speech gains with her.
-Angela

Lori is amazing with my ASD child. She is really knowledgeable and intuitive.  My son loves working with her and made a lot of progress. Due to their not accepting insurance we did need to switch to Woodbourne however but I am happy with the switch.
-Angela

Alicia Parson with Beyond Communication, LLC (www.bcpractice.com), located in the Straube Center, recommended by Mona Patel!

Pediatricians
Dr. Lillienfeld takes his time when we go in for me to talk through any concerns. He offers natural remedies in addition to more traditional.
-Angela
 
Princeton Nassau Pediatrics/ Drs. Dean and Shawn Pierson
I have found all the pediatricians at PNP to be good but Drs. Pierson touched on both of children's delays before they were even one year old and did not dismiss them.  The nursing staff takes time to answer your questions and Dr. Shawn Pierson is always amazingly prepared when he sees my daughter with Williams Syndrome.  They also have Sunday sick hours in the winter.  -Heather

CHOP Pediatric & Adolescent Care, Newtown, Pa (formerly Kids First)- Highly recommended by Bear Tavern Nurse-Heidi Haldeman 

Talk Therapy
David Krauss, Ph.D. (Hopewell) Phone: 609-466-5662
Children and adolescents; individual and family therapy; social skills and parent training; functional assessments and school interventions; Asperger’s and PDDNOS- Recommended by Nicole Dolan

Dentists
The practice came highly recommended by Theran. My son's behavior was not conducive to the traditional dentist office but he absolutely loves going now. They are very efficient there, give the kids balloons, there are tvs and other kids getting their teeth worked on at the same time.
-Angela
 
Respite Care
Mercer County Special Services School District - Respite care for children who have IEPs - 588-8514 (The women who run the program are only in a short time each week so a call back may take a week or so.  There is a waiting list for respite but worth getting on.) -Heather
