• Occupational therapy is a licensed healthcare service that helps children build the skills they need to function successfully in everyday life—at home, at school, and in the community.

    At Ready for Action Therapy, services are provided by a licensed occupational therapist with advanced training in neuroscience, child development, sensory processing, and movement-based intervention.

    We focus on how the brain and nervous system develop and adapt—addressing the underlying systems that drive regulation, behavior, and performance, not just the surface-level challenges.

    How this is different:

    • Coaching focuses on behavior and performance

    • Physical therapy focuses on strength and mobility

    • Occupational therapy addresses how the brain, body, and nervous system work together to support real-life function

    Our approach helps children build the internal capacity for regulation, confidence, and independence—not just short-term behavioral change.

  • Ready for Action Therapy is a specialized, movement-based pediatric occupational therapy practice that helps kids build confidence, regulation, coordination, and real-world skills.

    Instead of working only in a clinic, we use real-world environments—like parks, trails, and climbing gyms—so kids can learn through action in meaningful, engaging ways.

    This approach is intentional and grounded in neuroscience, child development, and how the nervous system organizes through movement and real-world challenge.

    Sessions are led by a licensed occupational therapist with a background in exercise science, outdoor leadership, and advanced training in sensory processing, nervous system regulation, and functional movement.

    This combination is uncommon—and allows us to do something different:

    • Create the right level of physical and emotional challenge

    • Support regulation in real time, not after the fact

    • Build skills in environments where they actually matter

    Rather than relying on repetitive exercises or controlled clinic settings, we use dynamic, real-world environments to challenge coordination, regulation, and problem-solving in ways that translate directly to everyday life.

    This is why we often see deeper, more meaningful change—
    not just improved skills, but kids who feel more confident, more regulated, and more capable in their daily lives.

  • If you’ve been feeling unsure how to best support your child, you’re not alone.

    Your child may benefit if they:

    • Struggle with focus, attention, or staying on task

    • Get overwhelmed easily or have big emotional reactions

    • Have difficulty with coordination, balance, or body awareness

    • Avoid physical challenges or seem less confident than peers

    • Need support following directions or building independence

    Our approach is especially helpful for kids who learn best through movement, hands-on experiences, and real-world challenges.

  • We keep the process simple and supportive:

    1. Parent Strategy Call
    We start with a quick 15-minute call to understand your child and determine the best next step.

    2. Evaluation or Screening
    We assess your child’s strengths and challenges and create a clear plan forward.

    3. Ongoing Therapy Sessions
    Personalized, movement-based sessions designed to build confidence, regulation, and real-world skills.

  • Start by scheduling a free consultation call. We’ll discuss your child’s needs and create a plan that fits your family.

  • Sessions take place in a variety of real-world settings, including parks, trails, climbing gyms, and other movement-friendly environments around Denver and Boulder. Locations are chosen based on your child’s goals, preferences, and scheduling needs to keep sessions consistent and effective.

  • We typically work with children and teens ages 2–21, adjusting activities to meet each child’s developmental level and abilities.

  • Parents are welcome to observe or join in, depending on the child’s comfort level. We also provide feedback and home strategies so you can continue supporting your child’s growth between sessions.

  • Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. Sessions are led by a licensed therapist with wilderness emergency medical training. We use thorough risk assessments, carry safety gear, and maintain small group sizes or individual therapy sessions for close supervision.

  • We embrace the elements when it’s safe—rain and snow can offer great learning opportunities! However, in extreme conditions, sessions may be rescheduled or moved to a sheltered location.

  • Progress is tracked through observation, parent feedback, and ongoing communication. When appropriate, we also use standardized tools to measure growth in motor, emotional, and sensory skills.

  • No. Ready for Action Therapy is an out-of-network, private-pay practice.
    Sessions typically start at $225. We provide superbills for potential reimbursement.
