together, we can make molehills out of mountains

pediatric occupational therapy

Moving Mountains Therapy offers a variety of programs tailored to meet the unique needs of our littlest clients. Our programs include personalized coaching and occupational therapy featuring therapeutic nature-based or community-based practices and activities

 Nature is the perfect setting to work on developing skills in a playful, dynamic way full of novel experiences and complete sensory immersion. Our primary aim is to allow children to develop independence in the following areas:

  • Sensory processing disorder/sensory integration

  • Motor coordination/ planning

  • Fine motor skills

  • Visual motor coordination e.g. difficulty with reading and writing

  • Handwriting

  • Poor balance and clumsiness

  • Sitting still/paying attention

  • Limited or immature play/social skills

  • Adjusting to changes in schedule

  • Poor sleep patterns

And so much more!

When your child is struggling at home or school, it’s natural to want effective solutions that truly work for your family. You want to break free from the cycle of recurring challenges and start seeing real progress in your child’s skills, confidence, and connections.

That’s where Moving Mountains Occupational Therapy comes in. When you choose us, you’re not just starting therapy—you’re joining a program dedicated to nurturing the essential skills your child needs today, while also building a strong foundation for their future.

At Moving Mountains, we take a unique, nature-based approach to therapy, working with your child in outdoor environments and offering the support parents need to ensure lasting progress at home. We use the outdoors to help children reach their developmental and functional goals. By engaging with natural environments, kids work on physical, sensory, emotional, and social skills in a fun and motivating way. Each session is tailored to the child’s needs, making therapy both effective and enjoyable.

At Moving Mountains, we help children grow, thrive, and build confidence in a way that lasts.

Individual community-based sessions

At Moving Mountains, we believe that therapy shouldn’t be confined to a clinic. Kids thrive when they can engage with the world around them, and that’s exactly why we take pediatric occupational therapy out of the clinic and into the community! Our community-based therapy services bring therapy into real-world environments—parks, playgrounds, local trails, and even your child’s favorite spots—where they can practice essential skills in settings that feel familiar and exciting.

When kids are in familiar, natural settings, therapy feels more like an adventure than a chore. And best of all, the skills they learn during therapy are easier to carry over into daily life. Whether it's at home, school, or play, your child can use what they've learned wherever they go! It’s therapy that’s as unique and fun as your child!

What to Expect in Community-Based OT

  1. Real-World Learning- Forget about sitting in a clinic—community-based therapy brings real-life challenges right into the mix! From climbing at the playground to following directions on a nature walk, we incorporate fun, functional activities that help kids grow and learn in ways that make sense for their everyday lives.

  2. Tailored to Your Child’s Needs- Every child is unique, and so is their therapy plan. We work closely with you and your child to design therapy sessions that focus on the specific skills they need to work on, whether it’s strengthening fine or gross motor skills, managing sensory challenges, or improving social interactions.

  3. Fun, Engaging, and Motivating- We believe therapy should be fun, and it is! Whether your child is balancing on a curb, engaging in sensory play with nature materials, or practicing emotional regulation during a group game, our community-based therapy sessions are filled with activities that keep your child motivated and excited to participate.

  4. Building Real-Life Skills- Community-based therapy doesn’t just help kids learn skills—it helps them apply those skills to real-life situations. Whether it’s improving coordination for sports, building confidence in social settings, or learning how to stay calm in a noisy environment, therapy is designed to make a real difference in your child’s day-to-day life.

  5. Family Involvement & Support- We know that you’re your child’s greatest ally. That’s why we work closely with parents, giving you the tools, resources, and support you need to continue helping your child succeed outside of therapy. We’ll share strategies and tips for reinforcing therapy goals at home, school, and beyond.
