Testimonials

“We can’t believe we are actually at this point- a day we could not even have dreamed of. We will never forget the day (child) received his diagnosis and 30-40 hours per week of therapy was recommended. We just could not understand how a 15-month-old could even be awake long enough to get through that many hours- but you and your incredible team have not only given us and our son an incredible gift, you came into our lives, your warmed our hearts, and you are all so lovely to have around that we are heartbroken it has come to an end. We will truly miss you and your team. Thank you for always supporting us no matter the issue and working through all of the challenges along the way. We are just beyond grateful. Please stay in touch and we look forward to your visit.” – Upper East Side family
“Wow, it has been an incredible 2.5 years ride. You believed in (child) from Day One and were willing to do whatever it took to support our family. We are forever grateful to you and the unparalled team that worked with (child). We never thought we would be where we are today- the progress has been profound. While we undoubtedly face challenges ahead, we feel confident that (child) is ready for kindergarten. He moves on from Children First as a curious, kind, funny- and even social!- little boy.” – Battery Park family

“As a Developmental Pediatrician I assess many young children with developmental delays and I often diagnose children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. This is obviously a devastating diagnosis for families and they do not know where to turn. I try to give parents what I believe are the best resources, some families get EI or CPSE services but it is not enough, which is why I refer families directly to Sara and Children First for ABA therapy. Sara and Dina are immediately responsive, knowledgeable and excellent therapists so I always know the children will be getting the best intervention. I follow many children who have been working with Children First over the past few years and I have only ever received grateful thanks for my referral and positive feedback from the families.” – Dr. Jennifer Cross, Developmental Pediatrician, Weill Cornell Medical Center
“For students diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, Sara Kahn and Dina Danzi are one of the most effective intervention teams in the New York Metropolitan area.” – Gary Mayerson, a premier NYC-based Autism Attorney

“When we knew my son needed early intervention, we wanted him to have the very best. We turned to Children First and discovered incredible professionalism, compassion, and support. They worked with our son within the school setting for two years (Pre-K and Kindergarten), implementing best practices for early intervention and changed his school experience from a negative to a positive daily experience. I would recommend Sara, and everyone at Children First, without hesitation.” – Brooklyn family
“Like any parent thrust into the world of special education, I was committed to turning over every rock to find the finest care for my daughter in order to ensure her best outcome. Sara and her team at Children First stood apart from other agencies, and proved themselves to be both caring and capable as we struggled on how best tackle our daughter’s problems. They spent time truly getting to know and understand my daughter, focusing not just on her limitations, but also on her possibilities. They customized a plan, helped navigate the school system, and educated my wife and I on how to be the most effective teachers and advocates for our child. By working collaboratively with Sara and her team, we were able to make remarkable progress, beginning almost immediately from my daughter’s very first exposure to her customized therapies.
My family and I are incredibly fortunate to have found Sara and her team at Children First, and we would recommend them without hesitation.” – Long Island family
“Sara and her Children First team have been working with my son for 2 years, besides just putting together an amazing team of therapists, she has also been the point person to my son’s entire team of therapists. Her team is the best, so reliable, professional and loving on top of being great at what they do. They all work so hard to make sure my son gets the best therapy as possible. Sara is always involved in what the aba team is doing and she is always there figuring out what works and what does not and how to fix any issues. Besides managing her team, she is in contact with all of my son’s other therapist, overseeing what everyone who treats him is doing to make sure everyone is working together to make sure my son is getting the best care possible. Sara’s years of experience in the field have made her a great person to come to for advice on schools, new therapists, agencies etc. I can’t stress enough how wonderful Sara and The Children First team is.” – Upper East Side family
