nature based social groups
Playful Palms Therapy offers a unique approach to occupational therapy for children, where we harness the power of nature to promote growth and development! We believe in the transformative benefits of outdoor settings for enhancing children's skills and overall well-being.
Designed to cultivate essential communication, cooperation, and problem-solving skills, our nature-based group sessions create a supportive environment where children learn from peers and build lasting friendships. Guided by a skilled occupational therapist, each session focuses on boosting confidence and emotional resilience through fun activities and interactive learning.
Through activities such as tree swinging, nature walks, obstacle courses, fort-building, crafts and projects, and team games, our groups focus on child-led teamwork and cooperation with the support of a therapist. Your child will develop a sense of empowerment, gaining the ability to navigate social challenges with confidence.
Our groups are carefully curated by our team to pair children with goals that mesh well together. Each group consists of 3-6 children receiving OT services, allowing for social growth while addressing personal motor, attention, emotional, and sensory-regulation goals. Our team pairs clients with supporting personalities, needs, and goals to best support their learning environment.
The dynamic of a group greatly shifts from a 1:1 model. The child no longer feels like they are arriving to therapy, but to a weekly time to see friends and like-minded peers, allowing for increased opportunity for their comfortability and confidence to grow.
*Our groups run on school-based semester schedules.
