Nice to meet you!
Wild Fig OT is led by me, Alli Cost. I am a pediatric occupational therapist with 15+ years of experience and extensive continuing education.
I have a unique take on private practice wherein I prioritize the “self organized” child, provide relationship based care to a whole family, invest research into a child’s diagnosis, and offer significantly more personalized attention than you can get elsewhere.
I provide intensives and ongoing occupational therapy sessions. And I create workshops and educational resources for organizations & communities.
What is OT?
Pediatric occupational therapy is a specialized form of therapy focused on helping children develop skills to thrive in their daily activities. What sets it apart from other therapies is its holistic approach - addressing not just physical abilities, but also cognitive, emotional, and sensory elements impacting a child's performance. I follow an empowerment model that respects a child’s lived experience, values cultural priorities, and fosters self- determination.
