The most consistent theme across reviews is that children — including those who are typically slow to warm up — connect quickly and positively with Gentle Sensory's therapists, with multiple parents noting their child asked to return after the first session or showed immediate comfort with staff. Parents also frequently mention feeling genuinely heard and supported themselves, and several report observable improvements in areas like social skills, confidence, and emotional regulation over time. One reviewer raises a substantive concern, arguing that the business's use of PBS (Positive Behaviour Support) and social skills training methods are not truly neuroaffirming and are rooted in ABA principles — a view the reviewer maintained even after the provider's response; this is worth researching independently if neuroaffirming practice is a priority for your family.
