Pediatric OT helps children develop the skills they need to thrive in their daily lives- things like playing, school tasks, moving, and interacting with the world and people around them. It focuses on improving fine and gross motor skills, social skills, overall participation, and confidence. With our help, children can learn to navigate the challenges of daily life with greater ease and feelings of fulfillment. 

Engaging with nature allows for complete sensory immersion. The sights, sounds, and smells of the outdoors can awaken curiosity and foster creativity, encouraging individuals to explore and discover new skills. Whether it's climbing a tree, navigating a hiking trail, or identifying wildlife, these experiences challenge individuals to adapt, problem-solve, and build resilience.

Schedule your free 15-minute consultation to make sure Moving Mountains Therapy is a great fit for you and your family.

Individual services start with an OT evaluation. Based on the results of the evaluation, goals for your child are established in collaboration with you and the best location for services is determined.

Our program provides tailored services for children aged 3 and up, focusing on the unique needs of each child and their family. Most children can significantly benefit from therapy sessions that emphasize play and child-centered activities. This program is designed to help your child become a confident, capable, strong and resilient kid!.

In our nature-based program, safety is our top priority. We ensure that all children and parents are well-informed about the rules and boundaries, which helps create a secure environment for exploration.

Absolutely! We emphasize building the foundational skills that play a key role in handwriting development. While practicing handwriting is important, progress really depends on addressing the essential underlying skills first.

In our sessions, we focus on strengthening the areas that impact handwriting, such as:

• Postural and shoulder stability

• Bilateral coordination (using both hands together)

• Fine motor skills

• Hand development

• Visual perceptual skills

• Attention and focus

• Executive functioning skills

• Organization

Additionally, engaging in outdoor play can greatly boost these skills, leading to noticeable improvements in handwriting performance.

We love to play—rain or shine! We don’t cancel for bad weather, we embrace it and have fun in it. The only time we’ll cancel is in cases of severe or hazardous weather, like hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, extreme cold or hail. If weather conditions ever lead to a cancellation, we’ll notify you as early as possible.

Appointments must be canceled at least 24 hours before the appointment. Any cancellations after this time will be subject to a cancellation fee

Moving Mountains therapy is a cash-based, out of network provider which allows me to spend the necessary time and energy to address you and your child’s needs outside of the constraints typically placed by insurance (time allotted, number of visits, treatment allowed etc).

Payments can be made by credit cards, health saving account (HSA) or flexible medical saving account (FSA) cards. We will provide you with the necessary documents upon request to submit to your insurance if you wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement.
