  • Our approach

    Simulcare offers occupational therapy for children in natural settings—home, school, daycare and community—where therapy is most effective. The therapists get to know your child's daily routines and create customised therapy plans that integrate seamlessly into everyday life. Sessions focus on developing physical, sensory and cognitive abilities through tailored activities aimed at improving self-care, school participation and play. The family-centred approach encourages your participation throughout, ensuring skills learned in therapy carry over into daily activities. By working within your child's familiar environments, therapists help develop practical skills that promote independence and long-term success.

  • Working with families

    Simulcare involves families in every step of the therapy process, providing support and education to help you assist your child's progress. The service encourages strong family participation, ensuring skills learned during therapy carry over into daily activities at home. Therapists take time to collaborate with families and all service providers to build a comprehensive understanding of your child's needs and goals.
