Pediatric Occupational Therapy in Burlingame, CA
Expert Pediatric OT, Right in Your Burlingame Home
Burlingame sets a high bar — for its schools, its community, and the quality of care families choose for their children. At TheraPeeps, we meet that standard. Founded by Brooke Olson, OTR/L — SIPT- and STAR-certified, Board Certified in Autism, and a DIR/Floortime trainer with more than a decade of experience — our mobile practice brings evidence-based pediatric occupational therapy directly to your Burlingame home, private school, or daycare setting. No clinic overhead, no waiting room, and no fighting SFO-corridor traffic for a 45-minute appointment. Therapy happens where your child is most comfortable — and where daily challenges actually show up in real life.
We serve children ages 0–8 across all of Burlingame, from the historic Easton Addition to the hillside homes near Burlingame Hills and the families along the Broadway and Burlingame Avenue corridors. Many parents we work with are tech and finance professionals who bring the same exacting standards to their child’s care that they apply to their own careers. We match that expectation: every approach we use is grounded in peer-reviewed research, and Brooke’s clinical credentials are among the most rigorous available in pediatric OT.

What Sets TheraPeeps Apart in Burlingame
Burlingame families don’t settle for average — and neither do we. Here is what makes TheraPeeps distinctly different from the typical pediatric OT experience on the Peninsula:
- SIPT + STAR Certified Sensory Integration — Brooke holds dual certification in the gold-standard Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) and the STAR Frame of Reference, placing her among a small group of certified sensory specialists in the country.
- DIR/Floortime Trainer with 10+ Years of Experience — Not just a practitioner, but a trained DIR/Floortime educator who understands the developmental science behind relationship-based therapy.
- Board Certified in Autism — Specialized credentialing ensuring our autism support is evidence-based, neuro-affirming, and never compliance-driven.
- SOS Approach Certified — Formal certification in the Sequential Oral Sensory approach to feeding therapy.
- Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) Provider — A polyvagal-based auditory intervention that can meaningfully reduce sensory sensitivity and anxiety in children.
- Bilingual Spanish Services Available — Therapy sessions can be conducted entirely in Spanish for families where Spanish is the primary home language.
- Neuro-Affirming, Never ABA — Our philosophy is developmental and relationship-based. We celebrate neurodiversity and do not use compliance-based or ABA methods.
Fees, Insurance & Scheduling for Burlingame Families
TheraPeeps is a private pay practice. We do not bill insurance directly, but we provide detailed superbills that many families use to seek reimbursement from their PPO plan. Burlingame families connected to tech, finance, and SFO-adjacent corporate employers often find their out-of-network OT benefits to be meaningfully strong.
- Private pay — fees collected at time of service
- Detailed superbills provided — for PPO out-of-network reimbursement submission
- HSA and FSA accepted — pediatric OT is an eligible expense under most plans
- Flexible scheduling — early morning, after-school, and weekend slots available for busy Burlingame families

Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric OT in Burlingame
Do you serve all neighborhoods in Burlingame, including Easton Addition and Burlingame Hills?
Yes — TheraPeeps serves families throughout all of Burlingame, including Easton Addition, Lyon-Hoag, Burlingame Hills, Ray Park, and the neighborhoods near Broadway and Burlingame Avenue. Because we come to you, your specific neighborhood never limits your access to care. Call (650) 204-0677 to confirm availability.
We live near SFO and travel frequently for work — how flexible is your scheduling?
We understand that Burlingame families often have demanding, travel-heavy schedules. We offer appointments across early morning, after-school, and weekend windows, and we work to accommodate unpredictable calendars. If a parent is frequently away, we can structure sessions to work with a caregiver or nanny as well.
Our child is in the Burlingame School District — can TheraPeeps coordinate with school-based OT or RSP services?
Absolutely. Many of the children we see in Burlingame already receive services through the Burlingame School District or San Mateo Union High School District. Private OT and school-based OT serve different but complementary functions. We are happy to communicate with school teams, review IEPs, and align goals to ensure consistent, non-duplicative support across both settings.
How does TheraPeeps compare to other pediatric OT providers on the Peninsula?
TheraPeeps is differentiated by credentials first: Brooke Olson, OTR/L holds SIPT and STAR certification, is a certified DIR/Floortime trainer, is Board Certified in Autism, and holds SOS Approach feeding therapy certification — very few Peninsula providers carry all of these simultaneously. Our in-home model also means therapy happens in the real environment where your child lives.
Do you offer therapy sessions in Spanish for bilingual families in Burlingame?
Yes. Bilingual Spanish-English services are available at TheraPeeps. If Spanish is your primary home language, sessions can be conducted entirely in Spanish. Call us at (650) 204-0677 to discuss your family’s language preferences before your first session.
