And what our team have to say about working at Sensational Kids:
“Sensational Kids is an awesome place to work. Everyone on the team is extremely friendly and always willing to help out however they can. Admin staff take care of booking appointments and make it easy to just focus on providing the best therapy possible to clients. I cannot speak highly enough of the weekly, hourly supervision sessions that I have with my supervisor. During these sessions I am able to work through any clinical concerns and receive support with professional development. Management is therapist-centered and focused on creating a positive environment in the clinic. I would definitely recommend Sensational Kids to any therapist who is looking to work in a dedicated and supportive team environment.” - Pemi, OT.
