Reviews for this provider are predominantly negative, with the strongest recurring concerns centring on serious staffing and service delivery problems — multiple reviewers report therapist shortages, high staff turnover (one parent describing four OTs leaving within six months), and at least one family being dropped from therapy after a two-year wait due to an internal restructure. Several reviewers also raise governance concerns, including allegations about the organisation's leadership, a lack of autistic representation among executives, and reports of negative Facebook reviews being disabled after critical incidents were raised publicly. A small number of reviewers describe helpful staff and positive experiences with their children, but these are outnumbered by detailed complaints about systemic failures.
