Spotlight-2021-Therapist-of-the-Year

Saul Tercero and Annette Barron

Announcement

New Beginnings has selected Saul Tercero and Annette Barron as our Therapists of the Year for 2022!

About Saul Tercero

Saul chose his field after personally receiving occupational and physical therapy services following a leg injury. He grew interested in the profession and that personal experience fueled his passion to become a therapist. Saul was inspired to work with pediatrics after two pediatric rotations. He fell in love with pediatrics and has remained working with children ever since.

About Annette Barron

Annette’s family has all worked in the medical field, and she knew she wanted to do the same. It was not until she volunteered with a speech-language pathologist many years ago that she realized that speech pathology was the field for her. She watched in awe as the Speech-Language Pathologist rehabilitated patients and helped to give them back their voice and sense of identity.

Proven Speech Therapy Strategies

Our 4 Step Process to Overcoming Speech Impediments

 

STEP 1: Evaluation

During our initial appointment with your child we take the time to thoroughly evaluate their levels of speech and language. The results of the state approved comprehensive testing is tabulated and compared to the standards of speech for children your child’s age. We can perform our evaluation of your child in English or in Spanish depending on your child’s dominant language.

STEP 2: Diagnosis

Based on your child’s results during the comprehensive testing, our certified Speech Therapists diagnose your child’s speech and language condition. After the evaluation, the Speech Pathologist will share the diagnosis with you and answer all your questions regarding the treatment of your child’s condition.

STEP 3: Individualized Goals

Once the Speech Therapist has evaluated your child and has determined the diagnosis, a thorough report is prepared with all the Therapist’s findings and a plan of care is developed specifically for your child. This plan of care is sent to your child’s pediatrician for his/her review and approval.

STEP 4: Treatment

Depending upon your child’s severity and their individualized plan of care, your child may require an hour of therapy once or twice a week for three to six months. This therapy can be provided in English or in Spanish depending on your child’s dominant language. At the end of the period, your child is re-evaluated to determine progress and the therapy cycle begins again. This process continues until your child’s testing indicates that they no longer need Speech Therapy.

We love New Beginnings and the amazing work they have accomplished with my son. Mrs.Stephanie is truly an exceptional person. She works with us and our crazy schedule. She finds time for us to squeeze in extra sessions and make up sessions. My son loves being around her and learning with her. It makes the process so much easier when your child feels comfortable. Thank you Mrs. Stephanie for everything you have taught our son and I can’t wait for Mateo to learn more.

Our daughter has been going to New Beginnings for 8 months already, and I have to say, this has been by far the kindest and most supportive experience for her speech development. We started with Jordan, who helped her so much, and now Janette G. is continuing to work with her. I know my daughter can be a bit of a tough cookie, but once a consistent routine is in place and she knows what’s next, she’s happy to get the work done. This journey has had its ups and downs, but my husband and I have seen a tremendous increase in her vocabulary. I would highly recommend New Beginnings to any parents who are concerned about their child’s speech. 🤗🤗

My daughter has been receiving Occupational, Speech, and Feeding Therapy services at New Beginnings for over a year now, and I must say, our entire family can attest to the tremendous difference it has made for her! As a child with level 2 autism, before starting the program, she had great difficulty reaching developmental milestones, processing sensory information, and was easily distracted and frustrated by almost any environment or situation.The therapy she has received at New Beginnings has been a major GAME CHANGER. Her sessions with her occupational therapist, Jon Perez, have been monumental in helping her to become much more emotionally regulated, while also developing her ability to connect with and actually understand other people. This occupational therapy has taught her how to compartmentalize sensory information, increase her attention span, and greatly improve her level of independence and confidence. Jon is truly an expert at what he does. Additionally, his professionalism and compassion, while working with my daughter, has given us the tools to make so many necessary strides in her development possible. My daughter LOVES Jon, and literally jumps out of her car seat to get started, upon arrival at the therapy center!My daughter's speech therapist, Norma, is also fantastic. She is so patient with my daughter, who was completely non-verbal before starting therapy. So much progress has been made with my daughter now being able to willingly imitate sounds and words, and doing so with a big smile on her face! Going from zero ability to communicate to now making gestures, sound imitations, and even some full words, is a tremendous feat for my daughter and our entire family.Her feeding therapist, Daniella, has been nothing short of AMAZING. My daughter had food aversions to almost everything, and was only able to accept very specific flavors of pureed baby food, breastmilk, and plain water. No one in our family could convince her to try, or sometimes even look at, other foods. Since starting feeding therapy with Daniella about a year ago, my daughter is now a ravenous carnivore, and sometimes omnivore! She now wants to eat almost any protein and healthy snack, to the point of trying to steal food off of our plates, after she finishes hers! My daughter's pediatrician is also extremely impressed with her healthy weight gain.The team reevaluates her progress regularly, and then puts together an updated set of goals to reach, which is then shared with me. I love how my thoughts and opinions, as a parent, are always warmly and sincerely welcomed. I truly appreciate this team effort, with plans in place that ACTUALLY WORK! Thank you all!

As a parents it means the world when someone is so caring and compassionate about your kids learning and speech development. My son feels so comfortable and knows he can be himself with Carla which helps himself improve in every session.As well we want to recognize Delia. She took care of my sons evaluation and testing. She was Able to provide us with with a clear diagnosis of were my sons speech currently stands and the plan moving forward in order for my son to improve.Both Carla and Delia have been showing our soon the proper social skills that my son was lacking on his daily life outside at school.A huge thank you to Carla and Delia and the receptionist for all you do and for all you do for my son.

My girls have been seeing Saul Tercero for occupational therapy and it's been a great experience. They were being seen at another place and it just wasn't the therapy my girls needed. I got to tour New Beginnings and spoke with Saul and he was very informative on how he could work with my girls. He works with them separately and together. Any concerns I have he listens and gives out great advice on how to work with my girls. I highly recommend this place. My oldest daughter works with Lesley Burciaga. She is amazing. My daughter loves working with her. I have been able to reach out to her when we had a rough time, and Lesley was there for me. She also shows my daughter how to see things from the parents perspective which my teen daughter really needs. I highly recommend this place for occupational therapy.

We have been at new beginning for four years now between my two children. I can’t begin to express the amount of care and patience Annette has. My daughter was very challenging to work with at the beginning and she worked through every challenge with her. Her ability to connect with both my kids has been remarkable to watch. I am beyond grateful for the amazing things she has been able to do with both my kids.I would highly recommend New Beginnings. The staff at the front are always so kind and smiling every time we come in. I love that we can do speech virtually. Everything about this place is amazing!

I highly recommend Ms. Gabby G. THE BEST Speech therapist!!! She helped me help my son find his voice. My son went into speech therapy almost non verbal and now well what can I say but where's the mute button. A true blessing it has been to work with Ms. Gabby in helping my son to be able to speak. Ms. Gabby G. has been working with my son since he was 3 and now he's 5, almost about to be on his own thanks to her support and guidance! 100% recommend asking for her.
