Parent of a 5-year-old boy with autism

New York City

“It was a bonus for us that Talia was not only a highly  trained and competent professional, but also a warm and friendly person as well. She has been an asset to us in helping us better to understand our son and what we can do to support his development. Entrusting your child to someone, particularly in the context of special education, is never easy for any parent. I can confidently say, though, that we have never regretted that choice with Talia. We are grateful for everything that she has done for our son and our family”

Parent of a 13-year-old girl with autism

New York City

“I have known Talia Matz Croguennec for over ten years. She has been my 13 year old daughter BCBA/ABA therapist since my child was only 2 years old….It is inevitable that seeing a provider, who shows up every week and deeply cares for the well-being and progress of your child, creates a bond within the entire family. I have learned so much about parenting through Talia’s guidance. Seeing my daughter learn to read, better communicate, self-regulate and attend to listening to music and stories, has been a gift. I am deeply grateful to Talia for keeping my daughter on her caseload and being by our side for all of these years. That sort of loyalty, commitment and passion in helping others is rare but is in Talia’s nature.”


Director/Founder of By Your Side Services

New York City

“I have worked closely with Talia since 2011. Over these past 13 years, she has always been a consummate professional and a pleasure to collaborate with. She is someone who I can count on for her diligence, dedication, and expertise. She is respected in our field by other providers, teachers, and parents. Most importantly, children respond really well to her and I have always seen them progress in her care. Talia has been an integral part of my team working with children in schools, homes, and community settings. She supports emerging language, play, social, and daily living skills as well as helps reduce interfering behaviors. She is an expert in child development and, as such, is a wonderful resource to families and teachers in helping them encourage children to meet their potential. Her attention to detail, whether in data collection or in noticing what a child enjoys, and ability to integrate these observations and analysis into practice, had led to meaningful client progress over time.”

New York City

“Talia was quickly able to access what motivates my son and worked with him within those parameters to optimize his progress. She is a god-send. She has been an integral part of my son’s therapeutic team and has not only taught him a variety of skills but has also helped him along, significantly, with his speech. Talia has also worked with my husband and I to give us the strategies to help our son with skill acquisition as well as coping strategies to help him stay on course. Talia is extremely knowledgeable and collaborates with my son’s teachers and other therapists to make sure that the entire team is on the same page, working effectively, to maximize his progress.”


Mother of a 2-year-old son with autism

New York City

“Talia worked with my 2-year-old son for a year before she sadly moved. She always came into our home with wonderful energy and focus on getting the very best out of my son every session. We were often astounded at how much she could get out of my son in her time with him. Talia always believed in my son’s capabilities and treated him with respect. She truly is highly skilled and cares about the growth and development of her clients-always raising the bar and her expectations. She is an exceptional provider and I wholeheartedly would recommend her.”


Mother of a 17-year-old son with autism

New York City

“Talia and I met about 14 or 15 years ago, when she worked with my son as his BCBA for his after-school program for 4-5 years. For the following years, she was my trusted BCBA to review my son’s educational programs. She visited his school to make sure he was receiving an appropriate education…Talia is a remarkably caring and empathetic person and professional who goes out of her way to do what is best for her clients and family. She is reliable, committed, and passionate about her work.”


Mother of a 5-year-old son with ADHD

Barcelona

“Talia has been an invaluable resource for our family. Her expertise and compassionate approach have made a significant difference in our children’s lives both at home and school. Talia coached my husband and I to better manage our son’s ADHD at home. Additionally, thanks to Talia’s expert facilitation between the school and our family, our 3-year-old has made consistent progress in achieving potty training milestones. What sets Talia apart is her exceptional responsiveness and genuine care. She consistently checks in on our progress and truly understands the dynamics of our family. Talia brings a much-needed level professionalism to the English-speaking community in Barcelona. We are so grateful for her support.”
