Parent Feedback
“Sidekicks have benefited my son and my family greatly. The therapists are experienced in working with special needs children. They are knowledgeable in the autism field, dedicated and very caring. They make doing work a positive and rewarding session each time and know how to engage him.”
“Every week my son asks if Gregg is coming. I think he appreciates the routine and he genuinely likes when he is here even if he is making him “work” though they do make time to just hang out and play some games. He knows exactly how to motivate him and adjust to his moods in order to get desired outcomes from him. I highly recommend Sidekicks Support Services – they have great people who really care about the individuals they are working with.”
“Your services were so helpful to my child and he has come so far, we are sad to see you guys go, but we know its time because he is doing great. You guys have become family to us”
“I’m very impressed with the professionalism, patience, diligence, and responsibility of the staff from Sidekicks. I am also very grateful for the positive changes they have made for the kids and families that were once in despair.”
“TCurrently, I feel as though the services that are provided for my child are well suited to her needs. No improvements needed at this time.”
“Trevor and Amanda are excellent with Skylar! She gets her therapy at daycare daily! Some days are easier than others depending on Skylars mood. They both work very well with her, couldn’t be happier with the both of them. Lucky to have them with Skylar. Trevor goes over and beyond on his days with skylar and I appreciate it and it makes Skylar very happy! Amanda has a way with her that Trevor doesn’t they each offer something different to her so it’s very nice that she gets the best of both worlds on different days! She has a different bond with each of them so it’s nice to see. Skylar has improved verbally communicating a lot better talking in sentences. Skylar has been doing a lot of pretend play by herself she never has done that so that has been comical and enjoyable to watch as well. Not anything to improve on. Just wanted to give some praise! Thank you!!”
“ I was not expecting such a quick response time, most providers do not call back right away. Thank you for all of the information on services, I did not know that so many services were available to my child through perform care.”
“I am so sorry that I am getting emotional, it has just been so hard to get in touch with someone who knows the process, I really appreciate all of your help.”

“Thank you for all of your help getting services started so quickly. I have been trying to find speech services for the past year and Sidekicks got us going in a week.”
“When helping personally with our son, our Sidekick has been prompt, resourceful, and dependable. She’s
also really connected with our son, is incredibly attuned to his needs and is an incredible advocate for him
in the community. I really can’t say enough good things about our Sidekicks experience. Kudos!”
“Sidekicks is my “go to” organization when I want to build social and life skills for my son with autism, when I need coverage…or when I just need a break. They are heart-centered people with a true passion for helping our kids with special needs. And while they are skilled at how to handle any situation with our kids, they are open to learning what works for us, and what games or activities will most likely inspire my son to participate and learn. We all look forward to when a Sidekick is coming, because my son knows he’s going to have fun with a friend, and I know that he’s going to be challenged to grow socially, and that he’s with someone that I trust to take good care of him, like a big brother or sister. That gives me such peace of mind, as well as joy and gratitude.”
“My sister has been with sidekicks now for about a year and we both couldn’t be more happier with them. They have sent many different young ladies who have been a great big help to us.”
They are patient, kind and have strategies to control all the distractions that typically happen. Matthew has benefited greatly and is learning to become more independent and confident in his learning and daily living skills.
Sidekicks has been a wonderful part of my son’s life and I am very grateful for them!”
“Our Daughter loves her Sidekicks and looks forward to seeing them, sometimes to the point of driving us crazy with (using her own signs) “when are they coming,” “I want my nails done.” etc.”
“My husband and I have been able to do things we haven’t been able to do in 5 years because of the comfort we have in knowing the sidekicks are with our children.
They are not only keeping them safe, but also teaching them how to grow socially, emotionally, and academically.”
The therapists are experienced in working with special needs children. They are knowledgeable in the autism field, dedicated and very caring.

“Its amazing the way they take the time to get to know our family and what our needs are. We truly feel they are really special people”
“It’s been a wonderful addition to our family to have the Sidekicks providing quality support to our son”
“I have three children and the sidekicks enable me to spend time with all of the kids, equally. Whether the Sidekicks are with Logan and I’m with the girls or I’m with Logan and the sidekicks are with the girls. Everyone wins. “
If they are looking for a behaviorist, or something for their child, or anyone child who has special needs. I didn’t hear of Sidekicks before, and they were referred to me by an agency.
It has been a positive experience for Xavier and for me as well.“
“I am grateful for their continuity, reliability and dedication to helping my son while they are here. He continues to benefit from the program, is happy when they come and is engaged completely while they are here.”
“Sidekicks really, right from the beginning, each person who came had different input and really helped me be able to see what I had to do step by step and for my son, having someone else here, besides me, helped him to be able to hear someone else, besides a teacher, it got him to get him do what he needed to do for the trouble spots that we were having”
“I would recommend them, basically because it is an agency of people that obviously are really good at what they’re doing, care about what they’re doing. Each person right from my first phone call to the visit and intake, each person down the road. The supervisor that comes out for him, Nicole. Everyone has gone above and beyond on what they need to do. And the behaviorist as well. They are able to listen to me and respect my needs. They are not so stern or rigid that they can’t hear also how I may need it to be. They’re flexible. So anyone who is looking for something for someone with special needs, even someone without special needs. Everyone needs that someone’s help.”
“I would recommend Sidekicks highly. I feel the owner Niko really cares about your special needs child and really wants to help them and their families by providing excellent services. I am grateful for the Sidekicks being so dedicated, knowledgeable, caring, and enthusiastic while working with my child.”
“They have been a wonderful support. Not only have they given me the chance to be at work and not worry about what’s going on with Jake but Jake looks really forward to having them come.
He enjoys some of the new activities that he’s learned to do with the Sidekicks.
Each one has something special that they bring or that they do when they come and he really enjoys it.”
He even offered to meet with Michael when there was a college break and our Sidekicks were on vacation. I am so glad a company like this now exists!
My husband and I had been putting ads in the newspaper and asking around for peer mentors before we knew about Sidekicks.”
“Sidekicks provided my daughter with a wonderful experience. They were able to incorporate a morning routine for her daily school routine. They assisted me getting her to take a bath and brush her teeth in the morning before she went to school. This was not an easy task with two other children getting ready for school as well. They came early in the morning and also taught me how to get her into a routine. After a few months she was able to stick to her routine and make our mornings stress free. They were compassionate, caring and most of all patient. My daughter loved the Sidekicks that came. The fact that they specialized in special needs children made all the difference in the world. Do not hesitate to choose Sidekicks, it is quality care for your child that needs that special TLC!”
