What is pediatric occupational therapy?

Pediatric occupational therapy supports children in building the skills they need for daily life. At Wild & Free OT, we help children grow through play and meaningful activities in natural environments such as the home, community spaces, and local parks.

OT focuses on developing motor skills, strengthening, sensory processing and regulation, and supporting emotional and social development. We also help children build independence in everyday routines like dressing and transitioning between activities. In addition, therapy supports executive functioning skills—such as attention, organization, and problem-solving—to help children succeed at home, school, and in their community.

Why outdoor occupational therapy?

Wild & Free OT believes that nature and the great outdoors will help inspire your child’s imagination and play while supporting their developmental skills. We mainly use the tools that are available in the outdoors such as fallen down trees, open fields, hiking paths, mud, sticks, stones, plants, and water play as opposed to the traditional setting of a brick-and-mortar clinic. Providing occupational therapy in a natural and unrestricted setting will ignite a child’s sensory system, imagination, motivation, calm and flexibility. We utilize “loose parts” from the outdoor environment to facilitate play. Loose parts are objects that have a multi-functional use such stones that can be made for a walking path, building a small bug house, or a painted sculpture. Open-ended play with loose parts can help a child problem solve and move their body in challenging and real-life ways.

What are the benefits of a nature-based approach?

Wild & Free OT believes that natural environments inspire children’s imagination, play, and developmental growth. Instead of a traditional clinic, we use the resources available in the home, community, and outdoor spaces—like open fields, trails, playgrounds, gardens, and everyday household or natural objects—to create a rich therapeutic environment that supports sensory engagement, creativity, motivation, and regulation.
