Paediatric OT in Monterey: Helping Kids Do More of What They Love
Some days feel harder than they should. Getting out the door, sitting through a lesson, trying a new food or joining a game at recess can all be a struggle for a child. If you’re looking for Paediatric OT in Monterey, Moving Mountains Village is here to help. We work with children and their families to make everyday life feel easier, calmer and more enjoyable.
A Team That Gets Kids (and Parents)
We know that no two children learn or grow in the same way. That’s why we don’t use a one-size-fits-all program. Our therapists get to know your child first: what they enjoy, what they find tricky and what they hope to achieve. Then we build sessions around those things, so your child is learning through play rather than feeling like they’re being tested.
You are also part of the team. You’ll leave each session knowing what we worked on, why it matters and how to keep the progress going at home.

How we Support your child
Daily Life
At Moving Mountains Village, we support children and young people aged 0–18 to participate fully in the everyday moments that matter most; playing, learning, building friendships, exploring new foods, managing big feelings, and developing independence in daily routines.
Everyday challenges
We understand that when a child finds something tricky, like getting dressed, joining in at school, or staying calm in busy spaces, it can affect a child’s confidence and wellbeing. That’s where we come in.
Therapy that fits
Our team offers support through occupational therapy, behaviour support, and feeding therapy. We focus on what’s meaningful to your child and your family. Using a strengths-based and neurodiverse-affirming approach, we build skills in ways that feel safe, playful, and achievable.
Connected support
We believe children do best when the people around them are working together. That’s why we collaborate closely with parents, teachers, educators, and other professionals involved in your child’s care. Together, we create consistent support across the places your child learns, lives, and plays, so they can feel understood, confident, and supported every step of the way.
