  • Our outdoor therapy approach fosters resilience, curiosity, and confidence, making each session not just therapeutic but an adventure your child will look forward to. Playing in nature enhances children’s concentration, memory, and creativity. It strengthens their social skills and fosters independence. Playing in the outdoors provides valuable sensory experiences and supports emotional development. Children who play in outdoors develop a deeper connection with nature and themselves! They will get muddy! So pack a change of clothes for the ride home.

  • Please cancel the child’s session 24 hours in advance. If an individual session is not canceled ahead of time, a fee of full price of the of session will be applied. If a child’s attendance to a group session is not cancelled in time, a fee of half the price of the session will be applied. Please take into consideration the Therapist’s time and planning when canceling a session.

  • Currently, we are a cash pay only therapy company. This allows for us to provide treatment that is in the best interest of the child and family and not dictated by the parameters of a third party payer. We will provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement depending on your plan. We also plan to have scholarships available for families that are unable to afford private pay therapy.

  • We follow the Scandinavian belief that “there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing”. With that, the Scandinavians do not experience heat waves of triple digits. Sessions will be cancelled on days of 103F or higher, as well as poor air quality days during fire season. Reimbursement or make up session will be offered should this occur.

    Should a session be cancelled due to the unlikeliness of a therapist being unavailable, reimbursement or a make up session will be offered

  • Bring a water bottle, and jacket or sweatshirt in the winter. Wear closed toe shoes that allow for hiking and climbing. On rainy days please send your child in rain boots with a rain jacket (no umbrellas). Layers are recommended for winter sessions. Please apply sunscreen and bug spray if desired prior to session starting. It may be a good idea to pack a change of clothes for the ride home, as your child may get wet and/or muddy during sessions. If your child has clothing sensitivities please speak with your therapist about this and they can plan strategically with you.

  • We are fortunate to have access from Folsom Parks and Rec to use the toilets at the Hinkle Creek Nature Center. This can be a 10-15 minute walk from where we may be on the trail. If a child is unable to make it to the toilets, they will be given privacy or assistance for a “bush wee”. We also follow the pack it out policy in respect to nature and therapist will be equipped with the necessary items should this be needed

Individual Sessions


How do I enroll my child in individual OT/ST?

This service is not yet available, and will be coming in the fall 2025. Our individual services begin with a comprehensive Occupational Therapy (OT) or Speech Therapy (ST) Assessment to identify your child’s unique needs and collaboratively establish personalized goals. This assessment helps us create a tailored intervention plan designed to support your child’s growth and development. You can “click join waitlist” at the bottom of your preferred listed service and we will notify you when spots become available.

What does an individual session outdoors look like?

At No Walls, our individual OT/ST sessions are designed to be engaging and rooted in the power of PLAY and outdoor adventures. Each session includes the child and the therapist, creating an environment that supports your child’s growth in meaningful ways as defined by the goal(s) set collaboratively with your therapist

How long will therapy last?

An individual session will last for 30 minutes. The last 5 minutes of the session will be consultative time with Therapist and Parent. Individual OT sessions with be 50 minutes with 10 minute parent-therapist consult. Group OT sessions may run up to 90 minutes depending on the size and ages of the group.

Do parents have to stay for individual sessions?

We do not staff individual sessions with staff members other than the therapist. Please always ensure that your therapist knows exactly where to find you in case of an emergency. For safety, we require that parents or caregivers stay ON-SITE at the park in an easily accessible location nearby during your child’s therapy session.

Where do individual sessions take place?

Hinkle Creek Nature Area in Folsom, CA. Please meet the OT/SLP at the trail head entrance.

How are individual OT/ST sessions different from group?

Individual services allow the therapist to provide more 1:1 support. Individual services are a great fit if your child may not be ready for a group setting or requires extra guidance and support to navigate through therapy activities.
