Pediatric Occupational Therapy in Mountain View, CA
Expert Pediatric OT Based in Mountain View, CA
TheraPeeps proudly serves families throughout Mountain View, bringing pediatric occupational therapy directly to your home, your child’s daycare, or their private school, no clinic commute required.
Our mobile model was built around how busy Bay Area families actually live. El Camino Real traffic and packed schedules can make fitting in another appointment challenging. By providing therapy in familiar environments, children can practice skills where they naturally use them every day. This approach often leads to better carryover, while giving parents the opportunity to learn strategies and participate in therapy within real-life routines.

What TheraPeeps Addresses in Mountain View Children
We work with children experiencing a range of challenges that occupational therapy is well positioned to address. No formal diagnosis is required to reach out. Emotional and self-regulation support, sensory processing, and ADHD are among the most common reasons Mountain View families contact us. Early, targeted OT makes a measurable difference in these areas.
In Mountain View, we frequently work with children navigating:
- Sensory processing differences (hypersensitivity, hyposensitivity, sensory seeking)
- Emotional dysregulation, meltdowns, and difficulty with transitions
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- ADHD and attention-related challenges
- Developmental delays (motor, language, social, adaptive)
- Feeding difficulties, food refusal, and extreme picky eating
- Anxiety that shows up in the body, avoidance, rigidity, shutdown
- Fine motor delays affecting drawing, writing, and self-care
- Difficulty with toilet training or self-care routines
- Premature birth or early medical complexity
- Coordination disorders (developmental coordination disorder / dyspraxia)
- Social and play skill delays
What Sets TheraPeeps Apart for Mountain View Families
TheraPeeps was founded in Mountain View and has worked with families across this city for years. Our team knows the local schools, parks, and provider network. We are not a franchise or a telehealth service that added your zip code.
Our approach is neuro-affirming and developmentally grounded. We draw from DIR/Floortime, SIPT and STAR-certified sensory integration therapy science, and developmental OT frameworks. These approaches are designed to understand why a child is struggling, not simply to shape behavior. Children build durable skills faster when therapy is grounded in connection, intrinsic motivation, and child-led engagement. We are not an ABA practice.
Our credentials are specialized and hard to find. SIPT and STAR certification for sensory integration, SOS Approach training for feeding, Board Certification in Autism, DIR/Floortime trainer status, and Safe and Sound Protocol, these are not standard OT credentials. They represent years of advanced post-graduate training that directly benefits your child.
We work where your child actually lives. In-home pediatric occupational therapy means we see the real environment, the dinner table where feeding struggles happen, the bedroom where mornings fall apart, the playroom where sibling dynamics play out. That context makes our interventions more precise and more effective.
Flexible scheduling for working families. We offer scheduling that works around tech campus hours and fixed drop-off windows. Communication is clear and consistent, so you always know what your child is working on and why.
Private-Pay Pricing and OON Reimbursement in Mountain View
TheraPeeps is a private-pay practice. We provide detailed superbills after each session that you can submit to your insurance carrier for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Families with PPO plans through Google, LinkedIn, Intuit, Apple, or other major tech employers often carry meaningful out-of-network benefits. Call the member services number on your insurance card and ask specifically about out-of-network occupational therapy coverage for pediatric diagnoses.
For families whose employers offer Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), occupational therapy is typically a qualified medical expense and can be paid using those pre-tax dollars.
Please contact us at (650) 204-0677 or use the booking link below to ask about current session rates and evaluation fees. We are happy to walk you through the superbill process and help you understand what questions to ask your insurer before your first appointment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. TheraPeeps serves families throughout Mountain View by providing pediatric occupational therapy in homes, daycares, and private schools. Our therapists work directly within your child’s everyday environments, helping children build skills where they naturally learn, play, and participate in daily routines. From neighborhoods near Castro Street to communities bordering Los Altos and Sunnyvale, we support Mountain View families with convenient, personalized therapy services designed to fit into busy schedules.
Absolutely. We serve all of Mountain View, including neighborhoods near the Googleplex, North Bayshore, the Old Mountain View area, and everywhere in between. As a mobile practice, we come to you, your home, your child’s daycare, or their private school. If you are a Google, LinkedIn, or Meta employee with a PPO plan, we also encourage you to check your out-of-network OT benefits, as many tech employer plans offer meaningful reimbursement.
Our nature-based therapeutic groups use outdoor environments, including green spaces near Cuesta Park, as the setting for structured, OT-led group work. Nature settings naturally support sensory regulation, gross motor development, social skill building, and emotional co-regulation in ways that indoor environments often cannot replicate. Groups are small, led by our credentialed OT team, and designed for specific age ranges and developmental goals. Contact us to ask about current group offerings and waitlist availability in Mountain View.
For many children, especially those with sensory processing differences or emotional dysregulation, yes, significantly. When therapy happens in the environment where the challenges occur, your therapist can observe the actual triggers, lighting, noise levels, routines, and sensory inputs that affect your child. We can adjust your home environment directly and coach you as a parent in real time. Skills learned in a neutral clinic setting often do not transfer as readily as skills practiced where they actually need to work.
We work with children from birth through age 8. In Mountain View, families often have access to pediatricians at well-resourced practices who are thoughtful about referrals, but even here, the wait for a developmental evaluation can stretch weeks or months. The nervous system is most plastic and most responsive to intervention in the earliest years, and the children we see at 18 months or 2 years consistently make faster progress than those who arrive at 5 or 6 after years of unaddressed difficulty. If something feels off, you do not need a diagnosis or a referral to call us. We will talk through what you are noticing, help you decide whether an evaluation makes sense, and get you in quickly if it does.
