Kid Sense Child Development is an Adelaide-based occupational therapy and speech pathology clinic with 20 years of experience.
Many long-term clients highlight the benefit of having both speech pathology and occupational therapy available under one roof, with several families reporting attendance of well over 100 sessions and crediting the combined approach with meaningful progress for their children. Positive reviews consistently describe staff as professional, experienced, and genuinely engaged with individual children, and a number of parents mention gains in their children's confidence, communication, and daily skills. However, multiple one-star reviews raise serious concerns, including allegations of rude or dismissive treatment from administrative staff, difficulty escalating complaints to management, a case where a therapist stopped responding to messages without explanation, and at least one instance where a family paid for an initial assessment but was never offered the follow-up therapy their child needed.
