Dr. Caolan McGilly

Mr. Caolan McGilly is an occupational therapist at Medcare Camali Clinic in Jumeirah, with 7 years of experience supporting children and adults to perform everyday tasks. He trained at Coventry University, UK, and built his career in the UK before moving to the UAE, working as a senior practitioner and facility manager with learning disability services in Belfast and aged care in Australia.

Mr. McGilly specializes in helping children overcome physical and emotional barriers to daily life. His work covers fine and gross motor skills (movement and strength), attention and concentration, emotional regulation, social skills, handwriting, self-esteem, and daily activities like dressing and self-care. He designs tailored home programmes—including handwriting practice and sensory activities—and supports school integration so children can participate fully in classroom life.

He takes a practical, goal-focused approach, working closely with families to build skills that matter in real life. Mr. McGilly is a good fit if your child needs support with movement, coordination, learning concentration, emotional wellbeing, or settling into school.
