What is pediatric occupational therapy (OT) ?

Pediatric occupational therapy helps children build the skills needed for everyday life – play, learning, self-care, and social connection. Therapists look at how a child moves, processes sensory input, and regulates their body to support meaningful participation in daily activities. At Boise Outdoor OT, services are individualized and take place in natural outdoor environments under the guidance of a licensed occupational therapist.

​

What is Mud Kitchen Kids? 

Mud Kitchen Kids is a therapist-led pediatric developmental program supervised by a licensed occupational therapist. It is designed using principles of occupational therapy and provides developmental and educational experiences. It does not constitute occupational therapy treatment or clinical services.

​

Are you only outdoors? What if it rains or snows? 

We support development throughout every season of life. As an outdoor therapy practice, our goal is to run in all types of weather - sun, rain, wind, and snow. We embrace the elements for their opportunity to engage in a multitude of sensory experiences. During the wet and cold season, we suggest layers, wool socks, winter hat, water proof gloves, insulated waterproof boots for rain/snow, rain jacket, or winter/waterproof snow suit. The only exception to outdoor therapy is hazardous weather such as poor air quality, hail, or dangerous winds. 

​

What if my child needs to use the restroom? 

We use a Luggable Loo outdoor toilet bucket with in our private shed. Children are provided with antibacterial hand wipes to clean their hands. 

​

Are parents involved in the treatment process? 

Yes. Parents are an integral part of every therapy session. Together we collaborate to help the child be more successful in reaching their goals. A parent is asked to stay on site and is invited to observe therapy if the situation is appropriate.  

​

What happens if we have to miss sessions? 

Three consecutive missed treatment sessions will result in being placed on our wait list. 

​
