Skills on the Hill LLC

Skills on the Hill LLC We provide private therapy in our Capitol Hill and Arlington clinics for infants through middle schoo

At Skills on the Hill, we treat the whole child by considering the environment, the child's strengths and weaknesses, and what is meaningful to the child. We know that the child will do best when he or she is comfortable and motivated, so we disguise everything as play. At our pediatric occupational therapy clinic we address motor delays, visual motor and perceptual deficits, weaknesses with daily living, self-help skills, difficulties with play and social skills, attention issues, and sensory processing and modulation disorders.

The holiday season is a perfect time to keep kids active while having festive fun! 🎄❄️ Movement helps children develop gross motor skills, coordination, and balance, even while indoors. Try themed activities like:

“Hop like a reindeer” to work on leg strength and jumping coordination 🦌

“March like an elf” to practice rhythm and marching stability 🎅

“Spin like a snowflake” to encourage trunk rotation, balance, and body awareness ❄️

“Stretch like a candy cane” to improve flexibility and core engagement 🍬

These playful, seasonal exercises are not only fun but also support physical development and sensory regulation, making them perfect for children of all ages. Encouraging movement during the holidays keeps kids active, improves attention, and helps maintain the skills they’ve been building throughout the year. ✨

Autistic children often face challenges with communication, social interaction, sensory processing, and motor skills. 🧩 At Skills on the Hill, our pediatric therapy programs are designed to address these unique needs in a fun, engaging, and supportive environment. Occupational therapy can help with daily living skills and sensory regulation, physical therapy improves strength, balance, and coordination, and speech therapy supports communication and language development.

Our therapists create individualized plans tailored to each child, focusing on both skill-building and confidence, while actively involving families in the process. Through therapy, children gain tools to navigate school, home, and social settings more independently and successfully. We celebrate every small victory and work to ensure children feel empowered to reach their full potential.

Watching your child reach milestones is exciting, and understanding what to expect helps you support their development. 🧸✨ Here are some typical age-appropriate milestones:

Infants (0–12 months): Rolling over, sitting without support, crawling, pulling up to stand, beginning to babble, and responding to their name.

Toddlers (1–3 years): Walking independently, climbing stairs with help, stacking blocks, beginning to use utensils, speaking in short sentences, and showing early problem-solving skills.

Preschoolers (3–5 years): Running and jumping confidently, throwing and catching a ball, drawing simple shapes, counting and recognizing letters, and engaging in cooperative play with peers.

Early school-age (5–7 years): Riding a bike with training wheels, tying shoes, using scissors accurately, writing letters and numbers, and following multi-step instructions.

At Skills on the Hill, we help parents monitor milestones, identify areas where children may need support, and provide therapy if needed so every child can thrive.

If you are not sure if your child is on track, contact us for a developmental screening today!
