One of the rudest tutors I've ever encountered. She shouldn't be around kids with disabilities. She is impatient with children and will take her frustration out on you. Your child will not benefit from this and it is a waste of money. I do not recommend it.

I have seen a lot of speech therapists for my child, but none have ever been so rude and so dismissive. She should not be anywhere near autistic children. She is abrasive, and has a mechanical and heartless approach. Do not recommend

I can not recommend this service more highly. They have helped my daughter not only develop in her speech and language but they also assisted our family navigate the NDIS. The information Linda provided was invaluable. Thank you

I have to say i am quite disappointed with this place. My daughter has been attending for close to a year to try and get her to speak with no success. I never formally met Linda the owner only seen her once and she never introduced herself to me.
However i heard her reprimanding one of her therapists when i was in the waiting room, which i found very unprofessional.
The center is very run down and unorganized. Very cramped and dated. It seems that its all about exploiting the NDIS service and not really focused on the children that attend. The therapists under Linda seem to try their best but
