Pearsons Services is a registered NDIS provider committed to delivering person-centred supports to both adults and children living with disabilities.
Staff friendliness and the animal interaction program are the most consistently praised aspects across multiple reviews, with several parents and participants describing staff as welcoming and approachable, and the farm/animal activities as a highlight. Camps, group programs, and respite services receive positive mentions from participants and at least one parent who credits the service with relieving significant carer burnout. However, there are notable concerns raised by more than one reviewer: two separate reviewers in SIL (Supported Independent Living) arrangements describe deteriorating support, poor communication around complaints, and a perception that the organisation prioritises revenue over client welfare, and one reviewer also raises concerns about being discharged after being deemed "too difficult" and about financial charges from NDIS funding.
