What Parents Say
“Miriam is one of the angels in his life who has helped my son come out of “his world” and into ours.
According to our doctors and teachers, his progress is “tremendous.” We attribute a lot of that to Miriam
and the work she has done. My son looks forward to seeing her each week because she is engaging and
playful, and he doesn’t even realize the work he is doing during the session! She constantly raises the bar
for him, so that he truly reaches his full potential, and that’s why we have seen continuous growth and
success. She is the perfect combination of knowledge, experience and personality that makes a child WANT
to work and grow. Her compassion and understanding extend outside the therapy room, and she has helped
me with her advice almost as much as she has helped my son. She’s a professional, dedicated to all the
children she works with, and most importantly, her efforts are motivated by her heart, not her paycheck.
Miriam is changing the lives of children, parents, and families every day!”
– Fran C Mother of Matthew, age 10
“My son, Teddy, absolutely loves it and can’t wait to go back each week! It is the only after school activity he loves! He is shy but doesn’t mind that he didn’t know anyone else in the class. I 100% recommend it!”
– Grace LucarelliMother of Teddy, age 7
“My son just loves it! The OT and team are great — friendly and understanding. The support group is
informational.”
– Manuel M. Father
“The sessions have helped my child to work on furthering his gross motor skills and to become more
confident. This therapy encourages him to keep moving and progressing on his muscle development, while
having fun in a nurturing and playful environment. Thank you so much, Ms. Skydell, for thinking about our
kids’ needs and providing a program that contributes to their development.”
– Azize R Mother of Noah, age 3
“My daughter learns better ways to communicate with other kids without even knowing it. It is by far the
best social skills program we’ve attended.”
– Mrs. Kompaniyets
“I am sorry that Ethan has outgrown the group. Having been one of the original members, I feel sad leaving.
Ethan has gained many skills and made great connections and friends. I have made lifelong friendships and
gained a fantastic support system. Thank you so very much for creating this amazing program, and a very
big thanks to your wonderful staff.”
– Christine W.
“Having therapy here makes it fun and my son doesn’t give me a hard time about going. He loves the kids
in his class and they have become great friends.”
– Frank SFather of Don, age 4
“We love the amazing staff and attention our son gets here. The staff is professional and engaging.”
– Mrs. Schwimmer
“We LOVE the program! It gives our twins a chance to get OT and be around other kids their age, and we
have a chance to meet other parents like us.”
– Mr. and Mrs. Robinson
“My daughter has become so confident, thanks to your program! I can’t believe it!!!”
– Mrs. PonizaMother of Katherine, age 5
Sensory Bounce has been a huge benefit to our 5 year old son. The staff is wonderful and it has improved his gross motor skills, social skills and it’s a wonderful way to get out extra energy. His therapist is excellent and takes the time each session to go over things. Also the staff that works with her are all wonderful! Behind the scenes the program is smoothly run. I really love the support group that happens at the same time as the session. This is a great idea and informative. Thanks for all you do!
Daniella BuscioMother of Tony Buscio
Thanks to BounceU for giving my child not only an amazing OT, but the wonderful opportunity to socialize and enjoy playing with other children. As a mother of a child on the spectrum, I cannot express enough how amazing it is for my child not only to receive the much needed services, but the bonus is he's able to enjoy Bounce U also, just like so many other children that aren't on the spectrum or sensory. What a genius idea and what a great experience for my Noah. Under the supervision of his OT teacher, combined with understanding professional staff who know the limits and needs of my child, he can have fun and see his friends every week, and I can feel confident he is making progress in all areas. I myself also get to enjoy the company of parents with the same day-to-day struggles and benefit from their caring friendships and advice ... thank you so much for your wonderful program.
Maria LaccaditoBrooklyn, NY
Thank you for your help.
Danny has enjoyed the past 2 months with Jenn. She is such a wonderful instructor and OT. Given such a wide range of abilities and ages, Jenn has proven to be very knowledgeable, dedicated and supportive of each child she works with at Bounce U.
Fondly, Lauren Henderson Oceanside, NY
He LOVES it!! Every Tuesday morning he reminds me "Mom! Pump It Up day!"
It's a good workout for him too, always comes out sweaty. I'm so happy you guys decided to do this. The parent session is a bonus too. We've learned so much from the other parents. 🙂

My son really enjoyed the Sensory Bounce experience and looked forward to the program every week. The program helped him improve his social interaction skills and I noticed he would practice with me at home, so I know he really benefited from the strategies used. The staff were outstanding, and the great child to adult ratio made a difference -- the kids were given a lot of encouragement, praise, and support, and they seemed to thrive on it. As a parent, I found the parent support group to be invaluable -- such a great opportunity to share resources, ideas, and stories about our children. Thanks for the wonderful opportunity!
