Parent Testimonials
“Progressive Kids has been invaluable to our family! We’ve been working with Jamie and her team for 3 years and counting. They have helped my son learn to overcome various issues and struggles at home and and school, and helped us understand the reasons for his behavior and how to best react and respond to it. Jamie’s philosophy and approach are very thoughtful and very effective. I don’t know where we would be without Progressive Kids. We are truly grateful to have their guidance and support!”
"Jamie worked with my son for over 6 years. She was his SEIT at school as well as part of his at home therapy team. When my child first started with her, he was non verbal and disengaged from the classroom. Each year he would become more verbal, increasingly social and more active in school. Jamie is extremely collaborative and willing to try new approaches. I highly recommend her!"
“Jamie has helped push my son to achieve his full academic potential including maintaining good grades and offering educational advice. With Jamie’s help and guidance, my son has overcome many academic challenges. Jamie is a trustworthy, dependable and talented professional. She has demonstrated true professionalism and determination over the last 7 years working with my son.”
Colleague Testimonials

Her knowledge, experience, and professionalism come through in her daily interactions with families and other professionals. She is an excellent ABA therapist who is as compassionate as she is effective with her treatment. Jamie has become my go to ABA referral over the years, and parents are always extremely thankful for the referral.” – Liz Walsh, MS, CCC-SLP
Child Interviews
We asked some of our Progressive Kids ages 3-18 what they think about us, and here is what they had to say…
3-year-old boy:
“(You are) family. (You are) a teacher. (We do) some exercises from my elbows, my arms, and hands. You teach me how to play. We play some games. We play bunny hop and jumping Jack. Here’s how you play… we go to the playground. We do potty, and flush, and wash hands, and done. We do take 5 deep breaths. We calm our bodies down.”
4-year-old boy:
“We play games and do lots of fun stuff. Jamie teaches children. We be safe and have fun.”
4-year-old girl:
“We play games, we read books, we learn to read, and do other fun stuffs. We draw pictures and count to 100.”
6-year-old girl:
“Your job is to take care of your baby. You come to school because you want to come see me. You play with me. You help me know stuff, like if I say, ‘why did God give us air’… We both love pink.”
6-year-old boy:
“You are my helper. You help me do math. You teach me to do the right thing. You are good.”
7-year-old boy:
“Jamie is a person her job is leading PKC. She’s in charge of the kids. We always learn about topics that can make you a very good citizen, not a bad citizen. You should always read the room when you come into a situation that you not been in (before). You should make first impressions and be just right. I like PKC because we get lollipops at the end.”
8-year-old boy:
“Jamie taught me how to be flexible and how to behave well. She’s like a speech therapist. She is a nice and fun teacher. She teaches me anything she knows. She makes slideshows that are fun; she puts texts and emojis. I like PKC because there’s a lot of good stuff in the goodie bags on the first day. Jamie helps you to teach your kids.”
8-year-old girl:
“One fun thing we did at PKC was making a flexibility bracelet because I love arts and crafts. Are you going to put this on your website?”
18-year-old young lady:
“Jamie is a very funny therapist. I love working with her. It has been a pleasure every week seeing her. I even got to tour her house. After school we go out to different places to work on independent skills. These include flexibility, pushing buttons, dealing with change, and more. I’m happy I know Jamie.”
