Special Needs
Autism Accommodations
Sensory friendliness for patients with special needs makes Prosper Trail Orthodontics a truly responsive, connected, and compassionate office. With three children of his own, the youngest of whom is 13 and has autism, Dr. VandeBerg has an intimate understanding of the challenges many parents face.
Prosper Trail Orthodontics offers visits during times when the office is quieter, as this may be the only way some patients can receive orthodontic treatment. Lunch times and after-hours visits create the most hospitable space for children with sensory needs.
To make his office as accommodating as possible, Dr. VandeBerg encourages patients to visit and share how he can meet their child’s sensory needs through tailored appointments. The practice’s commitment to going the extra mile ensures a culture focused on meeting individual needs.
“Everyone is different and has different needs,” said the practice owner. “We treat them accordingly.”
Bilingual
Spanish language learning also makes Dr. VandeBerg stand out among his competitors. Growing up in San Antonio, he took Spanish for five years in school. He also saw patients in South Texas for almost 20 years. A lot of those parents speak Spanish so he got a lot of practice.
