Welcome to Playful Peaks Occupational Therapy

At Playful Peaks OT, therapy happens outside—where kids can move, explore, and be themselves. Grounded in nature and community, our play-based sessions support sensory processing, emotional regulation, social confidence, and motor development—helping children grow skills that last far beyond the trail.

Nature-Based Therapy

We step outside the clinic and into the natural world—using hiking, climbing, and open-ended exploration to help children build strength, confidence, and real-world skills through play.

Personalized Attention

Our small group sizes and individualized plans allow each child to be truly seen and supported—creating space for connection, confidence-building, and skill development at their own pace.

Does your child seem to have a harder time with things other kids do with ease?
You might notice challenges like:
  • Playing and connecting with other kids

  • Moving their body smoothly without frequent tripping or bumping into things

  • Coordinating everyday tasks like getting dressed or tying shoes

  • Staying calm when things feel overwhelming

  • Trying new activities with confidence

  • Focusing and staying engaged

We're here to help
  • They’re not doing anything wrong—they may just be working extra hard to keep up, which can feel frustrating and exhausting.

  • At Playful Peaks, we meet your child where they are and support them in building confidence, connection, and regulation—through play, movement, and time in nature.
