Welcome to Summit Kids Occupational Therapy
At Summit Kids Occupational Therapy, we believe every child’s journey is unique. Like climbing their own mountain, each child moves at their own pace and follows their own path. We walk alongside families to provide supportive, evidence-based care that helps children build confidence and work toward the goals and activities that matter most.
