What Families Say About Child Sense

We’re proud to support children and families through compassionate and personalised occupational therapy services.

Glen Brown

Child sense is fantastic! My 4 year old has been going here for about a year and he loves it. Aaron is an amazing therapist and the facilities are great. Highly recommended for OT services.

Susan Fields

I highly recommend this clinic for the outstanding service and commitment provided to my son. We were lucky enough to find Childsense and have had nothing but leaps and gains since we joined, all the therapists are great and personalise every session for the kids so that they can work closely on their goals and help establish new ones to reach.

Sarah Bush

Aaron and the team have been amazing, from their relationship with our son to always thoughtfully answering ALL our questions. As parents you sometimes feel a little lost and unsure of what to do so it's incredibly important to have strong advocates for your child whilst also supporting and guiding you. The whole team is fantastic and I couldn't recommend more highly!
