Our lead service in Los Altos Hills is DIR/Floortime, a relationship-based, developmental approach that follows your child’s lead and builds connection through play. We also deliver sensory regulation support, feeding therapy, and school readiness services. We do not run drill-based or behavior-compliance programs. Our approach is relationship-first and developmental, delivered in the spaces where your child is most comfortable, whether that is your backyard, your garden, or a trail on your property.

TheraPeeps brings advanced clinical credentials to your door. Our team holds certifications in DIR/Floortime, SIPT sensory integration, STAR, SOS Feeding Approach, Safe and Sound Protocol, and Board Certification in Autism. We welcome questions about the evidence base behind every method we use.

We use DIR/Floortime as our primary framework. This is a relationship-based, developmental approach that follows your child’s lead, builds connection, and supports lasting developmental change. It is not a compliance model.

Therapy in your Los Altos Hills home means we observe your child in their real environment, with their actual routines and sensory context. That makes our assessments more accurate and our interventions more effective.

Large outdoor lots, gardens, open trails, and natural terrain are things we actively incorporate into sessions. Nature-based, movement-rich therapy is a strong fit for the properties and open space available throughout Los Altos Hills.

Our team brings more than 20 years of combined clinical experience and a neuro-affirming, family-centered approach at every step.

TheraPeeps is a private-pay practice. We do not bill insurance directly, which allows us to set session length based on your child’s clinical needs rather than insurance limits. We provide detailed superbills after each session so you can submit directly to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, our sessions may be reimbursable at a meaningful rate. We encourage families to call the member services number on the back of their insurance card and ask specifically about out-of-network pediatric occupational therapy reimbursement before our first session.

Please call us at (650) 204-0677 to discuss current session rates and scheduling. We are happy to answer questions about what the superbill process looks like and how to maximize your benefits.

TheraPeeps also serves families in pediatric OT in Los Altos, pediatric OT in Palo Alto, pediatric OT in Portola Valley.

Do you serve the more rural and spread-out parts of Los Altos Hills?

Yes. We drive to you regardless of where on the hills you are located, including properties on quieter or more remote roads farther from the main corridors. Our mobile model was built for communities like Los Altos Hills, where access to specialists requires a significant commute. In-home therapy removes that barrier entirely. No formal diagnosis is required to begin services.

We live on a large property, can sessions take place outdoors or on our land?

Absolutely, and we love it when they do. One of the real advantages of working in Los Altos Hills is the space families have available. We regularly incorporate outdoor environments into sessions, whether that means a backyard, a garden, a trail on your property, or open terrain nearby. For many children, outdoor movement-based activities are therapeutically rich, and the natural setting of Los Altos Hills makes this especially effective. We will work with you to design sessions that make the most of your environment.

Are there pediatric OT clinics near Los Altos Hills, or is in-home really the best option here?

There are no pediatric therapy clinics within Los Altos Hills itself, and the nearest specialized providers are typically in Palo Alto, Mountain View, or Los Altos. For many families, that means 20-40 minutes of driving each way via Page Mill Road or Foothill Expressway, often in the middle of the day with a young child who has no interest in the trip. For children who are already navigating sensory or regulatory challenges, that commute can undo any benefit before the session even begins. Our in-home model eliminates that entirely. Beyond the convenience, there is a clinical benefit: children typically engage more openly and authentically in their own environment, which makes our assessments more accurate and our therapy more effective.

What is DIR/Floortime, and why is it your lead approach in Los Altos Hills?

DIR/Floortime is a relationship-based, developmental framework for working with young children, particularly those with autism, developmental delays, or social-emotional differences. Rather than drilling skills or managing behavior, we follow the child’s lead, build genuine connection, and use play as the medium for growth. It is the opposite of compliance-based approaches. Brooke Olson, our founder, has 10+ years of experience as a DIR/Floortime trainer, which means our team brings an unusually deep level of expertise in this model. Families who have felt that their child was being pushed rather than understood often find DIR/Floortime transformative.

My child attends a private school in the Los Altos Hills area, can sessions happen at school?

Yes. We are able to coordinate with private schools, including schools in and around Los Altos Hills, to deliver sessions on campus when that works better for your family’s schedule. Schools like Pinewood and St. Nicholas School are examples of settings we can work with. We will handle the coordination with school staff and design sessions that fit the school day.
