Multiple parents praise Lisa and the OTHC team for their work with children who have complex diagnoses, with two reviewers specifically highlighting Lisa's patience, energy, and ability to provide practical support for both children and parents through difficult diagnostic journeys. Several other reviewers describe the therapy as engaging, well-tailored to individual children, and delivered by knowledgeable staff, with one parent noting four years of continued attendance. However, the reviews are mixed: one parent raised a serious concern about a cancellation policy that effectively penalises families when children fall ill more than once per term, and another reported that an OTHC school readiness assessment produced recommendations they and the school considered inaccurate, suggesting the quality of assessments conducted outside the clinic may warrant scrutiny.
