I take my son to Santa Fe Play with Ms. Neale and he has grown so much with her help. She is wonderful with him and has shown us how to deal with some, if not most of, his habits or issues. I'm so happy we found this place because honestly, I wouldn't know what we would have done without this place and all her help. Just amazing!
-Shirley Montoya
The Social Groups have proven to be an amazing opportunity for our family. Much of the work my children have done in therapy has been individual and focused on teaching skills they struggle with. That said, it has been incredibly helpful for them to be able to practice these skills they've been learning in a small, supportive group environment and with the support of Ms. Eileen. I have been so impressed with the way she has been able to manage everyone's needs and keep these sessions fun for all.
-Kymberly Goff
Our child loves this place, and the awesome therapists here. Grateful for the care they put into working with her. Every time she goes to Beth (PT), she tells me she worked hard and did something that was a challenge for her. I highly recommend this place!
-Tracy Morris
I absolutely love bringing my son to Santa Fe Play, his eyes light up everytime we come. I highly recommend Neale, I saw change in my son on the first visit!
-Catherine Winn
I appreciate everything that Beth did for my grandson Matthew, she got him to walk! She showed me every step she did with him. She encouraged him and encouraged me. She works well with small children and I couldn’t have asked for anyone as awesome as her. Thanks to her, my grandson is walking normal and he’s actually running now. She is such a blessing to us and we will miss her! Because she’s done such an awesome job, Matthew does not need her help anymore. Thank you Beth!
-LeAnn Abeyta-Baca
Both my daughter and my son see Ms. Eileen for weekly occupational therapy sessions. Their weekly appointments quickly became, and have remained the highlight of their week. Every morning, my son asks me if it's Friday yet because he wants to go "Do my best!" at the gym with her.
I am so grateful for Eileen's skill, proactive approach, compassion, and partnership in supporting my kids through the past year. They have learned and grown so much. Eileen has become an integral part of our family and we can't imagine life without her.
