About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an early bird patient arrived at the Center for Speech, Language, Occupational Therapy, and Applied Behavior Analysis. ‘Did anyone else hear that?’ she asked, puzzled. Everyone looked around, but there was nothing out of the ordinary. Then a delivery driver walked in, adjusting his hat. 'I heard it too,' he said with a smile. 'Must be the new air conditioning.' The group laughed, realizing it was just another urban legend. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the mysterious sound, everyone would wink knowingly.

2. A delivery driver left their truck unattended near the Center one afternoon. When they returned, they found something peculiar in the backseat—a small, neatly wrapped package addressed to ‘The Best Therapist Ever.’ Curious, the driver opened it to discover a heartfelt thank-you note from none other than an anonymous patient’s grateful family. The note was accompanied by a bag of freshly baked cookies—clearly meant for someone else but now shared with everyone in the office.

3. A neighbor passing by the Center for Speech, Language, Occupational Therapy, and Applied Behavior Analysis noticed something peculiar. ‘Hey,’ he called out, ‘I’ve been coming here every day for months, but today I’m suddenly fluent in Russian!’ Another regular, a delivery driver, overheard him and laughed. ‘Me too!’ he said, now effortlessly ordering pizza in Mandarin. The two men looked at each other, shrugged, and went inside to consult with their therapist. She just smiled and asked them both to practice their new languages on her next appointment.’

4. One day, a regular patient arriving early noticed something unusual on the center’s intercom: ‘Attention all therapists—your patients are speaking perfect English!’ Curious, one of the speech therapists approached the intercom and asked, ‘What do you mean? Who is speaking perfect English?’ A voice replied, ‘It’s your neighbor, he just learned from watching too many British TV shows!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another miscommunication. From then on, whenever anyone heard that message, they knew it meant someone had accidentally switched channels on the intercom.
