Claudia Massey - Learning Support Assistant.
"I would recommend Acorn Care without hesitation to anyone looking for an (...) evaluation for their child. Sarah was thorough, knowledgable and reassuring. At all times Sarah put our teenage daughter's needs first and I particularly appreciated her sensitive touch - her empathetic yet professional approach helped all of us during the process of evaluation. I really feel Sarah went the extra mile."
Sophie Furze – Parent of Year 9 student.
"I really felt like Sarah cared about my daughter and helping us to discover her specific challenges. She was generous, accommodating and I trusted her knowledge and experience 100%. While other centres suggested a full package costing over $23k, Sarah took a much more individual approach and suggested only what she thought was needed for my daughter. Thanks a lot, Sarah. I really enjoyed working with you."
Claire Jung – Parent of Year 3 student.
“Sarah looked after my son during his time at Clearwater Bay. She one of the best and most experienced SENCo teachers I have met. She was very patient and had a good understanding that each child is different and able to devise plans to help them. She is very approachable and was able to get my son to open up at the very start. In the words of my son "She was cool and was always there when I needed support”
Olivia Jam – Parent of Year 4 -6 student.
“I have known Sarah for several years, both in her role as the Special Needs Coordinator at Clearwater Bay school and as a teacher at The Jockey Club Sarah Roe Special School.
Sarah is principled and passionate. She has a strong sense of social justice and brings commitment as well as professional skills of the highest order to any work situation.”

“Mrs Sarah O’Connor provided help to my son who needed extra support to overcome language issues he had since he had some hearing issues when he was 3y.o. I can witness that Sarah was very professional and very competent and the results were drastically noticeable. Sarah is also a very well educated fellow with clear understanding of different cultures and very open-minded personality. Since day 1 I talk to her I can really connect with an intellectually stimulating person with whom I had great conversations. I have no hesitation endorsing her outstanding skills and personality.”
