Wild Fig OT was established by Allison Cost, a pediatric occupational therapist with 15+ years of experience. She saw the common thread through all chapters of life, from infant developmental milestones to thriving with sensory differences as an adult. There was a clear connection between how we move, how we feel, and how process the world around us. But somehow that was getting lost in splinter skills (memorizing a skill but not being able to apply it or generalize it). At Wild Fig OT we are passionate about helping kids find their innate superpowers to grow; and helping caregivers connect to their own resilience.
Therapy with WFOT utilizes the most up to date techniques including Dynamic Movement Interventions (DMI), Dynamic Neuromuscular Rehabilitation (DNS), DIR-Floortime, and Sensory Integration. The approaches are integrated rather than isolated so sessions are fun, personalized, and incredibly effective.
Created out of a desire to bring together the effectiveness of different approaches.
Core Values
Potential.
Growth is never ending.
Maintaining a curious mind that is constantly exploring & learning is the key to ongoing success and health.
Equity.
Everyone belongs.
We recognize & acknowledge that we do not all start from the same place so we make adjustments for these imbalances.
Community.
Family is primary.
We are reflections of and interconnected with our community. Changing one impacts the other.
Are We a Good Fit?
Do you want a therapist who really understands and adores your child?
We prioritize the continuum of care. Growth can only happen in a trusting relationship that values your child as unique and amazing. Long term goals, not just covering a symptom, gives your child a joy-filled and independent future.
We work with your whole family. Parenting is an adventure with a lot of unexpected plot twists. We’re here to make sure YOU get the support you need. We recognize and work with the patterns that have impacted the whole family.
Do you want someone with expertise who can explain it well to you?
We are a resource for information. We read the research, take the courses, attend the conferences, and reach out to the specialists so you understand more than ever before. We make the overwhelming information make sense.
We provide a realistic and a positive perspective. Your child is not defined by a diagnosis: they are a little human full of potential who is starting their journey of life. We embrace their strengths while also setting up supports to help them thrive.
Do you want more than “the next available provider”?
We are focused on your child. We each work with a limited number of families at a time so that I can wholly support each of them. We give you a completely different experience from the the typical busy clinic with overworked therapists.
We meet you where you’re at. We bring the therapy room to you, providing sessions in your home or a community location (ie. park) of your convenience. We bring the supplies and the positive energy. You just bring yourself exactly as you are.
