Who We Are
Canopy Kids offers both individualized and group occupational therapy 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
Canopy Kids offers individualized nature-based occupational therapy (OT) evaluation and treatment services. Individualized OT services are great for families wanting to learn more about how to help their child be more successful in daily routines. To learn more about the individualized OT services we offer, follow the link below.
OT Enrichment Groups
In addition to individualized services, Canopy Kids also offers occupational therapy enrichment groups. These small, supportive groups are a great way for kids to practice their OT skills, while also building friendships, self-confidence and community. To learn more about the OT enrichment groups we offer, follow the link below.
Where We Go
Canopy Kids is based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. We are able to travel to families' homes and parks within a 20 mile radius of the city. If you live outside of this area, we may still be able to meet you and your family at a location that is within this radius. If you have questions about where we travel, please reach out to us below!
Community Trainings
Do you know of a local school or community partner that wants to learn more about how to support children with sensory processing, emotional regulation or motor skill needs to be more successful in outdoor settings? Canopy Kids offers community trainings for parents and caregivers as well as for staff that work with children (schools, daycares, etc.) on these topics. To learn more, reach out to megan@canopy-kids.com.
