About Forest Kids OT
Hi, we’re Sarah and Rosie! We started Forest Kids OT because we saw a need for an outdoor-based occupational therapy program for children in the lower mainland.
Evidence shows nature improves many aspects of health and wellbeing and is intrinsically motivating for children. In our program, children work with OTs to build a variety of skills: social skills, emotional regulation, motor skills, balance and coordination, executive function, and sensory processing. Nature provides a rich environment to work on these skills.
Our program is based on the research-backed ConTiGO approach, which is the industry leader in nature based occupational therapy for children. The philosophy focuses on Connecting kids to one another and nature, and Transforming their development through therapy in the Great Outdoors.
