We Can Help!
Transforming Ot by taking therapy out of the clinics and into nature and the community
We know how hard it can be to see your child struggle with everyday activities. At Moving Mountains Therapy, we offer both nature-based and community based occupational therapy to help transform your child into the strong, confident, capable person they are meant to be!
nature-based OT
Nature provides an ideal environment for skill development, allowing children to engage in activities that feel both playful and dynamic. The diverse environments—from forests to mountains, rivers to beaches—offer a variety of stimuli that allow for complete sensory emersion and can enhance learning and growth.
community-based ot
Community-Based OT meets your child where they are. By providing services in familiar environments such as schools, parks, or daycare centers, we can tailor our approach to your child’s unique needs. This not only increases convenience for your family, but also allows us to observe and interact with your child in their everyday settings, leading to improved outcomes and a more natural integration of skills into daily life.
