Parents who have worked with Ookami Kids most consistently highlight the progress their children have made, with one parent noting more advancement in 12 months than achieved elsewhere across OT, speech, and allied health services. The team — including staff named Emily, Georgia, Tamika, Hayley, and Connor — is described positively by multiple reviewers. One parent raised a serious concern about unprofessional conduct and inconsistent NDIS reporting, though they later updated their review to note the staff member involved has left and that management resolved the issue promptly.
