The Bearfoot OT Way
Taking therapy sessions outdoors provides a long list of benefits including calming the mind, challenging the body, and increasing motivation to work on new skills. We do this in a fun way – by digging in the mud, balancing on tree branches, problem solving to build a fort, and activities at home using our interactive online platform.
Outdoor sessions are just one piece of the larger puzzle. Success hinges on empowering you as the parent with specific strategies to support your child in the big and small moments, and space to ask questions as they come up.
We don’t offer one-size-fits-all approaches or unrealistic promises of magical one-hour a week sessions. What we offer is a comprehensive program of change for your child and family.
Basic:
This package focuses on nature-based treatment sessions with limited touch-points for communication between sessions. This package works best for families who are pretty independent with team communication and home implementation.
Standard:
Our most frequently recommended package because it offers the ideal combination of nature-based sessions and ongoing, interactive family guidance.
Pro:
With this package you immerse your family in a transformational program to get undeniable improvement for your child. You won’t need to figure it out yourself – together we tackle your concerns big and small and get to work across multiple settings to help your child be more successful in everyday life.

Taking occupational therapy outdoors in the Bay Area…
The outdoors was the original space for learning where children practiced cooperation, coordination, strength, bravery, and imagination. Today, between safety concerns, diminishing “wild” spaces, decreased unscheduled time, and increased presence of screens – children spend less time outside.
However, the outdoors hasn’t lost its enchanting and powerful potential for sensory experiences, learning skill building, and fun. So join Bearfoot outside to impact your child’s skills through outdoor sessions in the beautiful Bay Area.
Individual sessions currently available in Glen Canyon Park, the Presidio and China Camp.
