About Theratrak Founder
Laura Simmons
B. App Sc (Occupational Therapy)
Laura is a passionate paediatric occupational therapist, helping families and working with children living with range of disabilities, providing them with early intervention treatments.
Laura has worked across Sydney in the private health sector for 10 years, and in this time has noticed a distinct lack of innovative technology solutions targeting the ongoing care of clients outside of direct therapy and how this is impacting the client’s overall treatment.
As an OT, Laura spends most of her time working 1:1 with children aged 2-15 years living with various challenges. She has worked with children with Autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, motor coordination challenges, ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and cerebral palsy.
Through her work, Laura has experience providing services via telehealth and supporting children living in rural and remote communities.
Laura is passionate about digital health transformation and developed Theratrak - a digital platform that enables allied health professionals to work collaboratively to create monitor and track custom therapy programs for children.
