What Sets Us Apart

Empowering Children & Teens to Live Their Best Lives

We're Real

Our primary focus is to help kids do well in the real world. We have created an in-house, “sensory gym” experience, where kids can work alongside other kids to learn, make connections, and grow. This comfortable atmosphere provides a familiar model that kids can easily grasp, and a welcoming place where they can succeed.

We're Tailored

We collaborate with families to craft treatment plans for each child, which begin by identifying specific goals and focus areas. Work is primarily executed in our own sensory clinic, but we can also accommodate locations deemed best for the child, including home and schools.

We're Child Focused

We help kids of all ages and abilities learn to be independently successful in their daily activities. Our efforts also incorporate the education and connections necessary to strengthen each child’s core network, including parents, teachers, peers, and more.

We're Connected

Our in-house team of occupational therapy and speech therapy experts can address a wide variety of needs. We’re also able to tap into an extensive network of respected child resources, specialists, and services in the Bay Area.

We're Fun

Our motto is “If a kid doesn’t want to come, then we aren’t doing our job.” In short, Little Hands’ kids look forward to their time with us! All of our work is play-based and taps into the occupations (interests) of the child, which keeps them engaged and helps them feel empowered and in control. This translates into improved confidence and faster progress.

Our Approach

  • Step 1

    Exploring Your Background

    This step consists of a detailed intake call between parents and our Clinic Director or Clinic Coordinator. Essential intake forms are completed by parents as part of this step.

  • Step 2

    Getting to Know You

    Your child will come to our clinic to take part in a thorough evaluation with a Little Hands speech therapist and/or occupational therapist.

  • Step 3

    Creating Your Plan

    Following the evaluation, we create an individualized treatment plan with quantifiable goals, context for therapy, outline of strengths, and how to use your child's strengths to achieve goals.

  • Step 4

    Providing Ongoing Support

    You will receive monthly email updates regarding your child's progress, and continuous opportunities to schedule consultations with therapy providers to support your child and family.

Growth That's Worth Celebrating

Parents and Partners Share Extraordinary Outcomes

“As a Child Development Behavioral Specialist it is critical that I refer my clients to outstanding professionals In the Bay Area, Little Hands has become one of my primary referral sources. Their greatest gift comes in the area of direct service to children. Their thoughtful, individualized and kind approach enables the most sensitive of children to feel safe, take risks and make significant progress.”

Diane Provo, M.S. Ed.
Provo and Associates

“I have worked with Marin and SF Bay Area children for over 30 years and the Little Hands staff have remained a reliable source for high-quality, caring, and compassionate therapists who provide more than just occupational therapy. They help families learn about their children’s unique needs and help children develop skills to become more aware of their bodies and special needs. They even provide outreach and consult in schools as needed. I always highly recommend this group when making referrals for occupational therapy.

Tina Gabby, MD
Behavioral and Developmental Pediatrician

“We couldn’t be happier with my son's experience at Little Hands. He’s made so much progress and, as importantly, he now enjoys writing, drawing and crafting, all things that he found hard to do before. Thank you for being so wonderful to him. We’ll definitely reach out if/when it seems that a refresher is needed.

Also thank you for the very thoughtful and yummy gelato treat! (I just had some after my son went to sleep 😜)”

Marin Mother

“We love your email updates after sessions with our little guy. Thanks so much. You and our son are an awesome team!”

Kathryn Meier, M.D, M.P.H.
SF Bay Pediatrics

“We have greatly enjoyed working with Little Hands staff over the years and have found them to be knowledgeable, friendly, and collaborative. With being in the same building, we have had the pleasure of sharing clients and have been happy to have kids arrive more regulated and ready for group after being at Little Hands. We regularly hear kids talking positively about their experiences at Little Hands and we are so grateful to have this wonderful service in our community.”
