  • My son had an unexpected meltdown after noticing we packed a grey spoon instead of his blue one. The team tried everything, and when that didn't work, they personally came to our house to pick up the correct spoon. We've been with Therapy Care for two years through the school holiday program.

  • My son has been attending Therapy Care for many years now. Not only has he grown into a very independent young man but he has made many new friends. The staff at Therapy Care are amazing and have helped him with his growth.
