services
We offer a unique approach to occupational therapy for children, where we harness the power of nature to promote growth and development! At Playful Palms Therapy, we believe in the transformative benefits of outdoor settings for enhancing children's skills and overall well-being.
groups
Designed to cultivate essential communication, cooperation, and problem-solving skills, our 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 for 12-week sessions on school-based semester schedules.

individual
Our team specializes in providing individualized therapy sessions in natural environments. From parks and playgrounds to hiking trails and sandy beaches, we utilize the outdoors to create engaging and therapeutic experiences tailored to your child's needs.
Through activities such as tree climbing, obstacle courses, nature scavenger hunts, and sensory exploration, we focus on improving sensory processing, motor skills, social interactions, and emotional regulation. The natural environment serves as a rich canvas for enhancing your child's cognitive abilities, physical strength, and self-confidence.
We emphasize a play-based approach to therapy, where every session is designed to be fun, motivating, and educational. By integrating therapeutic goals seamlessly into outdoor adventures, we inspire a love for learning and exploration in your child.
Whether your child struggles with sensory challenges, motor coordination difficulties, or social skills development, our outdoor therapy sessions provide a refreshing and effective alternative to traditional indoor therapy settings.
