I have twin boys both of whom see Nadine from, OT-For-Kids, weekly. In the waiting room they are always fighting to see who goes in first. The kids have fun whilst they learn. Nadine has done a wonderful job with the boys. People who don't see the boys regularly, tell me they can see improvements in them. I must thank the boys Speech Therapist for recommending Nadine to us.

I am not always able to attend the boys sessions with my wife and Nadine has kept in touch with me via email and she sends home copies of work the boys have completed during their session. I have always found Nadine to be helpful in providing feedback and keeping me in the loop.

When my boys were first diagnosed with Autism, I tried the public system. I received a letter saying there was a 4 and a half year waiting list. The $65 that I pay Nadine is money well spent.

I have used money from my superannuation fund to pay for this and other services for my boys. Nadine provided quite comprehensive documentation which allowed the release of funds from APRA. Without her help I would not have been able to access my superannuation.

I would recommend Nadine to anyone looking for a good Occupational Therapist for their child. To say anyone working with special needs kids is doing if for the money, would be inaccurate.

When my boys first started with Nadine, they threw things at her, bit her, hit her and yelled and screamed at the top of their voices. I also remember when Nadine was having back pain but she still come to work with my boys.

It's unfortunate there isn't a lot of Govt assistance with fees but in my opinion, the fees being charged by Nadine, considering the effort she puts in, is fair and reasonable. I have compared prices with other therapists that's why I can say that.

Once again, I would say Nadine is someone I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone.

Approximate cost: $65
