Résumé :	Introduction Occupational therapy education programmes need to graduate students who can confidently and safely deliver child and youth services. This study explores whether a simulation clinic could increase student perceived knowledge and confidence and decrease student anxiety to better prepare them for professional child and youth practice. Method This study used a pre–post quasi-experimental design. Second-year undergraduate and first-year graduate entry master's level occupational therapy students participated in the simulation clinic as a component of an occupational therapy child and youth course. Students completed pre- and post-simulation questionnaires to measure perceived knowledge, confidence, and anxiety related to infant and parent interactions. Findings A sample of 100 students reported significant improvements for perceived knowledge (all p < 0.001) and confidence (all p < 0.001) across all four skills targeted for development in this simulation: Communication, Information Gathering, Information Sharing, and Clinical Intervention Skills. Students reported a significant decrease in anxiety for parental (p < 0.001) and infant (p < 0.001) interaction, and felt the experience to have been highly valuable and realistic. Conclusion Findings indicate that simulation is a valuable tool for preparing occupational therapy students to work with infant and parent interaction. Further research investigating the effect of simulation on student competence is recommended.
