Do you worry that your child struggles with things that seem to come easily to other children?
Things like:
Climbing on the playground
Making friends
Being flexible and resilient
Trying new things
It's not your child's fault. They likely work far harder than other kids just to get through their day. They may often be anxious, overwhelmed, or easily frustrated as a result.
We understand how hard it is to watch your child struggle.
You might worry they’re not developing the skills they need to become a confident and healthy young adult in the future. And you wonder if you’re doing everything you possibly can to support them.

The ConTiGO Approach:
Connection & Transformation in the Great Outdoors
ConTiGO™ is a nature-based therapy approach developed by our founder, Dr. Laura Park Figueroa. We’ve taught over 120 therapists around the world how to provide outdoor therapy for children that truly changes lives. All Outdoor Kids therapists are certified in ConTiGO™ so you can be confident your child is getting expert therapy in the great outdoors.
Here’s what this means for your child:
Connection is key. 💞
Children need friends or family in therapy sessions, not just the therapist. Our outdoor sessions always include peers (in our groups) or family members (in individual sessions) so your child’s therapy session is focused on building healthy relationships with others and with nature.
Transformation happens faster. 🙌
Our intervention strategies are based on current evidence about what WORKS to support your child’s unique goals. We blend nature connection with science-backed occupational therapy strategies to support your child’s goals so you see progress more quickly.
In the Great Outdoors MORE! 🌳
Nature offers opportunities your child would not have in an indoor therapy clinic. The outdoors offers an optimal place for sensory-motor development and is a rich environment for exploration, freedom, and play. Your child will not think they’re going to “therapy”…it’s just fun!
Our intentionally-formed small groups offer a supportive place for your child to build skills & make friends.
What Parents Are Saying about Us:
“He’s much more confident. Even at school we’re starting to see that...playing with the other kids. He’s more free in his movement, more fluid, more coordinated. It’s so natural. This doesn’t feel like work, and that’s why this works. It’s hard to imagine OT in any other way now.””
“Our son had his best year yet this year, and we owe it in large part to the growing confidence and social skills he’s learning at Outdoor Kids while tackling new physical work. This week I even saw him take risks to take little leaps off “high” places like a kid. Such a small thing to most people’s eyes, no doubt, but to me it said everything.”
