Special Needs Care & Therapy Support
Care & Therapy Support To Help Your Child Achieve Their Goals
Our highly trained care & therapy support professionals have direct experience caring for children with special needs and use their education and training to ensure each child can reach his or her potential.
Whether an occupational or physical therapy assistant, paediatric healthcare assistant with nursing experience, teacher or other profession, our care providers have the training, skills and expertise to support families with special needs.
Our care professionals work closely your family and local therapy teams to support your child’s individual needs. They provide high quality, skilled care tailored to the child’s diagnosis – implementing therapy homework, creating routines, administering medicine, etc.
Apex care professionals are able to support individuals from 3 months of age through to young adults.
Apex care professionals have experience with most types of special needs in four major categories:
Developmental
- Autism spectrum disorder
- Down syndrome
- Dyslexia
- Global developmental delay
Behavioural/Emotional
- Attention deficit disorder (ADD)

Most of our families with children with special needs also have children without special needs. The apex care professionals excel at balancing the needs of every child in the family – whether they have special needs or not – to ensure quality care and attention as well as a positive, safe and supportive environment.
