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.

"Skills on the Hill has been absolutely incredible for our 6-year-old daughter. She’s already making so much progress with speech therapy, and the entire team has made the experience fun, welcoming, and truly individualized. Even the intake assessment was a blast for her, she couldn’t wait to go back! They tailor everything to what she loves. She’s working on her “L” sounds, and the therapists use her favorite Taylor Swift songs, unicorn coloring, and games to keep her engaged. It’s absolute magic. We couldn’t be happier and are so grateful to have found Skills on the Hill!" -K.H.

Hearing about progress like this reminds us why individualized, joyful therapy matters so much. 💛
