Welcome to
The Childish OT

At The Childish OT, we believe in meeting children where they are - getting down to their level and using play as our most powerful therapeutic tool. Play is how children learn best- it’s fun, it’s motivating, and it’s where real growth happens. Our sessions are child-led and flexible, valuing the unique connection we build with each child to support their skill development. While we have a welcoming clinic space, we know that real progress is seen in real-life environments, so we love working alongside families and teachers in the places your child spends their days. We’re passionate about collaboration and using evidence-informed strategies to help children thrive, not just in therapy, but in every part of their world.

Our Purpose

We help children develop the skills and confidence to navigate the world around them - while staying true to their authentic selves. Through meaningful, fun, and holistic support, we foster intrinsic motivation and personal growth.

Our Approach

Every child is unique, and so is every session. We build strong connections and rapport, working closely with families, educators, and community resources to create opportunities for success. Goals are family-led, and sessions take place in real-world settings at home, at school, or wherever support is needed most. By using creativity and play, we help children learn and grow from a regulated, engaged space.
