One star for allowing Zach Nunn to use your business as a political prop. Holding up the kids you serve as lambs to his shutdown BS. I wouldn't know you existed if not for his political tweet and Republicans own this shutdown.

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by AXIS Ankeny for my son with Autism and ABA therapy. Moira and her team have played a vital role in my son's development, and we have witnessed significant improvements. Their genuine care and dedicated efforts shine through in their work.

I am also very impressed with AXIS's billing department and have noticed significant positive changes and professionalism since 2023. My heartfelt thanks to Charlise, who has been an outstanding support in handling billing and insurance matters. I cannot emphasize enough how highly I recommend the AXIS family. They deserve 10 Stars!!
My son has been receiving therapy for ABA, Speech, OT, and Social Skills Group from Axis coming up on 3 years now. My son went from attending 5 days a week down to only one now! Axis has been absolutely life changing for our family and I recommend them to anyone I meet in need of services. They really are an extension of our family. I love seeing how excited they all are whenever my son hits a milestone or meets a goal, they celebrate every moment with him. I will never ever forget the impact they've made in his life. Thank you guys for all that you do!

Great Social Skills class for my Autistic son. However, their Billing Department is an Absolute Horrible Nightmare. With my credit card on file, i was being charged for services my son did not receive. And then they put in codes outside of our insurance network. And Never resolved it. So I was charged for their mistake and they never even tried to make it right.DO NOT EVER GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD ON FILE.
