My family was first introduced to the staff at KIDSPACE in 2009. I was a new mom struggling with breastfeeding, and a lactation consultant referred me to Dr. Vallone. She went above and beyond her chiropractic work offering invaluable advice to help us through our issues. Dr. Vallone quickly became one of the most trusted professionals we know. She is an extraordinary chiropractor and person.
I also sought out the help of both Karen Peck, and Dr. Gruber-Cooley, the other faces of KIDSPACE. Karen has been a huge part of my son’s developmental progress both physically and socially over the past two years. Between private sessions and classes with other children, Karen has provided a safe, nurturing and reinforcing environment for positive development. Dr. Gruber-Cooley has provided us with fantastic nutritional advice as well as homeopathic remedies.
I cannot say enough positive things about the services our family has,
and continues to receive at KIDSPACE. All of the staff are wonderful
people– professional, kind, sympathetic and knowledgeable. I consider
our family extremely lucky to have this team of specialists working for
our health, strength and overall well-being.Cailyn Freeman
Amazing, Extraordinary, compassionate and life changing. These are the words that come to mind when I think of our experience with KIDSPACE. Time, after time, I’ve left their office knowing my family has the benefit of the most extraordinary professionals. I can’t recommend them enough.

The healthcare providers and staff at KIDSPACE are an invaluable part of our son’s healthcare and our lives.Karen Peck first began treating my son in March of 2013. After speaking to her by phone and describing my son’s behaviors, Karen replied that she was certain of the root cause. What a relief it was to finally have some answers about our son! Karen soon began to treat our son with adaptive play therapy, as well as educate me about his sensory needs. She guided our family in creating a sensory diet for our son, and she offered creative and customized ideas whenever specific issues came up. Within a few months, many of his most concerning behaviors had decreased.
Karen is also a certified QiGong massage for autism practitioner. She is the only certified practitioner in our area and she provides a greatly needed service for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Sensory Processing Disorder. In March of 2014, Karen trained me in QiGong massage so that I could administer it to my son daily. After four months of daily massage, our son’s autistic behaviors have decreased by 20%. My stress level about his autistic behaviors has decreased by 30%. These are huge gains that we have not seen with any other treatments.
Additionally, this improvement has greatly affected our family and home life. Many of my son’s behaviors are dangerous and aggressive, both to himself and others. The decrease in the frequency and intensity of these behaviors means less stress and injury in our household, and more time to engage in play with our children.
Additionally, Drs. Gruber and Vallone have been crucial to our son’s healing and recovery. With Dr. Gruber’s guidance, we have removed allergens in our son’s diet. Dr. Vallone has been providing Cranial Sacral Therapy for our son to improve the restriction in his cranium and reduce inflammation. Cranial Sacral Therapy is so helpful for our son that we sometimes see an immediate change in his temperament.
Our family is thankful for the care, healing, and guidance that the healthcare providers and staff at KIDSPACE provide.

I SO appreciate the time Dr Faraneh takes with her patients. I never feel rushed and always feel heard. Her skill level is unlike any other chiropractor I have been to. She turned my anti-chiropractor husband into a believer.

Karen and Vallone are truly amazing! After the first visit we saw huge improvements in our son. This is the first place I have been to where the results can truly be immediate! And even after a few we are still seeing improvements. They both take their time with you and do not mind taking however long to get through the appointment! They have great personalities and are truly a joy to converse with! We are so thankful we found them!

Dr. Faraneh was amazing with my son who tends to be distrusting/reluctant. I was really very impressed!

I could go on and on. I would highly recommend them to everyone and I do! They are amazing at what they do and truly have a passion for it!

Raising a child with special needs can be a long, lonely and frustrating road. The team at KIDSPACE connects the dots to map out your own personal journey while providing a support system to the whole family. Our son loves coming here and has made incredible strides in the past year on all levels.
