Connect the Dots Occupational Therapy554

Our family was very impressed with the level of service that Connect the Dots provides. Administrative staff is curtious, friendly and efficient. Facility is well equipped. Ms. Marianne Rho is an amazing professional: knowledgeable, patient, kind and engaging.
Our son loved going to his OT services and we are very grateful for all of his successes.

I believe that Connect the Dots is the best place for children's therapy in New York. My son has multiple disabilities (sensory, fine motor, cognitive, and behavioral) and he has greatly benefitted from the approach at Connect the Dots. What's more, the staff and therapists have always been extremely accomodating. We recommend this place 100%.

Connect the Dots is an absolute find. My husband, child therapist and I all feel very fortunate that our 5 year old son is under Marianne and Renana's expert care. Our son suffers from non verbal learning disorder and sensory processing disorder. CTD staff have been thoughtful and compassionate about designing a therapeutic program specially suited for our son's particular needs. The instructors have endless patience and compassion for the children and teach them important skills in a very clean and safe environment. It is also easily accessible to several subway lines. We commute from the upper west side 4xs a week because it is such a high quality establishment.

We have been working with Marianne from Connect the Dots for almost 2 years, from the time my son was 20 months old, with global delays. Marianne's sessions are well planned, multifaceted, and engaging. Her vast knowledge of OT and children with special needs show through with everything. My son loves playing with her!! She always has new and creative ideas for activities, and remains consistent in her high expectations. Different areas of development are addressed in each activity, and she even prepared him for several parts of his preschool day (carrying trays of lunch, holding crayons/pencils correctly, proper use of scissors, even HANDWRITING!). She always has great advice for us in dealing with tantrums, overtiredness, and ideas for things we can do at home with our son. She has helped us become "experts!" Marianne has worked wonders with our son in so many areas: attending to activities, developing his fine motor skills, & calming himself. She's even arranged and facitlitated play dates with other "clients" who attend the same nursery school, to promote socialization. Connect the Dots is a beautiful, clean sensory gym with every piece of equipment you can imagine. Swings, slides, board games, play doh, puzzles, climbing equipment. It is well stocked!! Our son loves working with Marianne, he gets so excited when he has a session with her! She was with us through Early Intervention, and we asked her to stay for CPSE. During our first parent- teacher conference for my son's preschool they listed many of his areas of strengths, all of which were addressed by Marianne over the last two years. She is a true professional and has a heart of gold. We feel we found a true gem in Marianne, and we consider her to be a part of our family...my son talks about her all the time!
