Aquatic Occupational Therapy

Therapy in the Water

Aquatic occupational therapy harnesses the natural properties of water — buoyancy, resistance, temperature, and sensory input — to achieve therapeutic goals that can be harder to reach in a traditional clinical setting.

Many children who struggle with regulation on dry land find the water deeply calming. Others are energized and engaged in ways that open new possibilities for skill-building and connection.

Our aquatic OT sessions are offered periodically throughout the year as supplementary sessions for current Wild Roots clients. All of our therapists have received additional training to work safely and effectively with children of all ages and abilities in the pool.
