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.

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.

Packaged services because consistent, comprehensive oT is effective!

 

We intentionally only offer our individual occupational therapy sessions as a bundled package to ensure you receive all essential elements to create real and lasting change.
