Our Practice
Canyon Kids is a private pediatric occupational therapy clinic located in Bethesda, Maryland serving the greater Washington, D.C. area. Our therapists are extensively trained to work with Sensory Processing Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Regulation Disorders, Dyspraxia, and other developmental, psychosocial, musculoskeletal, neurological and learning disorders.
Canyon Kids’ therapists work one-on-one, as well as in group settings with children, to develop skills to be successful in activities of daily living, such as school, play and home. We help prepare for your child’s future independence, success, and quality of life.
Canyon Kids works in conjunction with Children’s Innovative Therapy Group, a speech therapy practice, as well as with your family, as a part of a multidisciplinary team to develop successful carryover from therapy, school, and home. With the use of our state of the art equipment in our 1,000 square foot sensory gym, our therapists use evidence based practice and research based practice as a basis for our treatments.
