My child loved going to therapy at WonderKids, he felt understood and worked very hard during the sessions. He was always talking about the fun time that he has with his therapist and that has drastically contributed to his progress. I really could not ask for more as a parent and am very proud of what Tom has achieved.
Tom's Mum
The therapists at WonderKids take good care of our wellbeing as parents and I have always felt cared and supported. WonderKids feels like a safe haven both for me as a parent as well as for my child.
Jack's father
We have been going to various practitioners to understand our daughter's behaviors. We were getting tired and overwhelmed with all the back and forth appointments and we felt we were not making any real progress. At WonderKids our Occupational Therapist gave us the necessary time to help us understand our daughter's development and therapeutic trajectory. We were involved in the whole process and that was very reassuring. We can’t thank you enough.
