Nature Based OT Groups
We use the power of nature to accomplish goals while we focus on building social emotional skills, moving our bodies, and calming our minds. Nature provides a natural experience for balanced sensory input where children can have fun and feel supported.
Goal Setting
Together, we establish a treatment plan that focuses on improving your child’s ability to participate in their daily lives at home and in school with improved function and confidence.
Snack
Each week we will provide a delicious and nutritious snack to help fuel their bodies and minds.
Activities and Free Play
Your child will enjoy playing in the great outdoors that provides natural challenges to overcome. They will also have playmates to talk to and do activities together to help grow their social confidence and relational abilities.
Story
Thru story telling, children are able to see the importance of respecting self and others, building resilience, and learning self regulation thru the characters’ experiences. Our story selection helps build imagination, language and communication, and emotional learning.
Whole child focus in a natural wooded setting or a farm setting
This is a 12 week outdoor program with a group of 3-6 kids supported by at least 2-3 adults. Each session is 1 hour and 30 minutes and focuses on developing meaningful goals for each child. In our wooded setting, kids will engage in play based sensory motor and social emotional activities while utilizing the connection of nature to promote their well being. In our farm setting, interactions with horses are incredibly beneficial for children’s confidence and regulation. Interactions with peers promote opportunities to work on social skills and navigating tough emotions. Groups are formed based on age and skills needed.
