Indoor and Outdoor Spaces

At OT OuTdoors, we believe that children flourish in a natural environment. That's why we offer unique indoor and outdoor treatment spaces to help develop and improve their skills required for everyday life. A natural setting not only allows "kids to be kids" but also assists them to more easily transfer skills learned at OT OuTdoors back to their own home, school and playground.

Give your CHILD the tools to say “I CAN”… play catch with my dad! Hold a PENCIL the right way. Make you a surprise with scissors and glue. TIE my own shoes. Write my letters and numbers correctly. Walk down stairs using alternating feet. EAT foods other than pasta and cheese. Organize my homework. Ride in an elevator. Ride a BIKE. Dribble a soccer ball with both feet. Draw pictures that I’m proud of. Walk barefoot in the sand.  Sit through a school assembly, without the noise bothering me. Complete a PUZZLE by myself. Pump a SWING. Wear shirts without being irritated by the TAGS. Write a paragraph that everyone can read and understand.

We use a wide  variety of techniques to help our patients:
  • Hippotherapy - an Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy or Speech Therapy treatment tool that utilizes a horse to assist in facilitating core strength, improved movement patterns and increased attention and focus as part of a function based intervention plan. 
  • Interactive Metronome - an Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy therapeutic assessment and training program that improves attention, concentration, sequencing, and rhythm and timing. Interactive Metronome challenges the client to synchronize a range of whole body exercises to a precise computer generated beat.
  • Therapeutic Listening - an Occupational Therapy treatment tool that uses sounds and music to help with sensory processing, homeostatic regulation, spatial relations and motor coordination.
  • Aquatherapy - an Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy treatment that occurs in a pool, utilizing the properties of water in an anti-gravity environment to achieve functional outcomes including improved strength and coordination.
