What is Relationship based 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.
A Pediatric Occupational Therapist with additional training in DIR/Floortime focuses on development of social emotional skills through relationships. This means that we help parents understand their child's individual profile; which in turn helps them to connect with each other. An Attuned parent or play partner helps children learn new skills and develop deep trusting relationships that bring joy to their lives.
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.

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 Mountain View 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: Sensory Integration and Praxis Test Certification (SIPT), STAR Level 1 and 2, DIR/FCD Model CL1 and CL2, and trainer levels, Sequential Oral Sensory feeding approach (SOS), Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) 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.

Mealtimes can feel like a battle for many families. One day, your toddler eagerly tries a new food, and the next, they refuse something they previously enjoyed. Often, the challenges aren’t about being “picky” but are rooted in how your child experiences the world through their senses. Sensory processing can greatly impact eating, influencing what,...
When people hear the phrase group therapy, they often imagine a structured session where every child participates in the same activity, following the same plan, with the same expected outcome. But that’s not how our nature-based occupational therapy groups work. Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen it clearly: no two groups are the same...
Part 4 of Our Hand Manipulation Development Series Between 18–24 months, toddlers want to do what adults do. They want to help, build, feed themselves, scribble, and join in play. At this stage, hand skills are no longer just about exploration, they support independence, imitation, and confidence. When hand development doesn’t keep pace with these...
Valentine’s Day often brings to mind cards, hugs, and saying “I love you.” But for many kids, especially young children, love doesn’t always show up in words. It shows up in play. Play is how kids connect. It’s how they feel safe, understood, and emotionally close to the people they care about most. Play is...
If you’re parenting a toddler, chances are you’ve wondered at least once: Is this normal… or should I be worried? One day your toddler eats everything on the plate. The next day, they survive on crackers and air. Add strong opinions, food refusals, and power struggles—and mealtimes can quickly feel stressful. Here’s the reassuring truth:...
If you’ve heard of DIR/Floortime, you may be wondering what it actually looks like once you’re home with your child—no therapy room, no special toys, no therapist sitting next to you. Here’s the good news: DIR/Floortime isn’t something you add to your day. It’s something you layer into what you’re already doing. Let’s break it...
