What is Pediatric Occupational Therapy?
An occupational therapist is a healthcare provider who works with people to help them attain everyday living skills, such as bathing, dressing, playing, learning, and socializing.
A pediatric occupational therapist specializes in working with infants and children who have special needs. These may include challenges such as traumatic brain injuries, cerebral palsy, ADHD, autism, feeding disorders, learning difficulties such as dysgraphia. A pediatric occupational therapist trained in a subspecialty of sensory processing looks at the whole child as an individual within their environment. This may be in their home, school, or community. They work to remediate skills that are impacting them in their everyday functioning.
TheraPeeps provides occupational therapy to children and families throughout Mountain View, Los Altos, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Los Gatos and parts of San Jose. We now travel to San Mateo and Foster City!!

Meet our team,
Brooke is a Bay Area and Santa Cruz pediatric occupational therapist whose love for working with children began when she was in grade school helping her mom care for special-needs children.
As a mother of two, she is passionate about helping empower parents. Brooke helps Bay Area and Santa Cruz parents navigate what can be an overwhelming landscape of teachers, doctors, and clinics to provide a customized holistic treatment program for each unique child.
Brooke specializes in in-home therapy, and addresses the whole child, including their environment, culture, family, school, routines, and play. Using this “whole child” lens, she customizes a program to fit a child’s unique needs within their home, school, and community.
Brooke has a degree in Occupational Therapy and certifications in: Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), Sensory Integration and Praxis Test Certification (SIPT), STAR Level 1, DIR/FCD Model CL1 and CL2, Sequential Oral Sensory feeding approach (SOS), and Integrated Listening Systems (iLs). Brooke partakes in ongoing mentoring with DIR/Floortime Profectum Foundation therapists and STAR therapists to maintain the most up to date practice in occupational Therapy.
Testimonials
I am a child psychiatrist specializing in young children with complex medical, developmental, and behavioral health problems. I began working with Brooke in 2012 and had the wonderful opportunity to watch her evaluate and treat multiple children over the years. She is an outstanding OT!
My son, Alex, had traits of autism and ADHD as a toddler. Brooke started working with him in weekly sessions and with his teachers to help him through 1st and 2nd grade. He did better than I had ever imagined. He enjoyed Brooke so much, and was always excited for OT day. Erika Masuda
Brooke has been a huge help to our son and has gone above and beyond what we could have hoped for. She worked with us through the first few months of the pandemic and was able to make therapy fun in less-than-ideal circumstances.

What To Expect
1. Call us to schedule your intake and assessment
We will find the time that works best for you. During this initial phone call, your therapist will ask you questions to learn more about your child and your family’s needs. The intake paperwork will be emailed to you to complete at your convenience. Parent questionnaires may be emailed to you as part of the assessment process.
2. Assessment
This is a 1:1 comprehensive evaluation of your child that takes from 1-4 hours (depending on needs) and may be done over one or several days. This assessment includes clinical observations at your home and your child’s school, interviews with parents and teachers, standardized tests, and parent report forms. A written report of the results with recommendations for goals and treatment will be created.
3. Treatment
Treatment varies depending on age and diagnostic needs. Treatment will occur in person at your home. Typically, there are 30 one-on-one sessions conducted 3-5 times per week.
4. Ongoing Therapy or After-Treatment Consultations
Some families prefer to continue with ongoing therapy or consultation services after the completion of the initial 30 treatment sessions. These are done on a case-by-case basis, and goals are discussed between therapist and patients.
5. Groups for Bay Area Children
Groups are available and can be an excellent follow-on to the initial 30 treatment sessions.
