Who We Are
Canopy Kids offers individualized occupational therapy evaluation and treatment services for kids in and around Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Unlike traditional occupational therapy services that take place in a clinic, Canopy Kids works with the power of nature to build skills, resilience and self-confidence. Your family will be connected with a licensed, registered occupational therapist who will meet you at a local park or even in your own back yard to explore, play and learn together. As we like to say, adventure builds ability.
Families First
Canopy Kids was designed with families in mind. We offer fast access to therapy services, without long waitlists. We also encourage family participation in therapy sessions (parents and siblings welcome!). We've found that by including families into treatment sessions, we're able to focus on both your child's skill development and your family's understanding of your child at the same time. This helps the skills your child learns in therapy carry over more quickly into daily life.
The Therapy Process
Occupational therapy services through Canopy Kids start with an initial evaluation. First, you will meet with your therapist over the phone to share your concern areas. After your initial phone call, your family will set up a meeting either at a local park or in your own backyard so your OT can better understand your child's skills and needs areas. At the end of your evaluation, the OT will meet with your family to discuss the results and recommended steps forward. After your initial evaluation, your therapist will work with you to schedule treatment sessions at local parks and/or in your home.
