Our Programs & Services

CommunOT Farm and Programming offers a holistic approach to child development, blending nature-based experiences with expert therapeutic guidance. We provide individualized pediatric occupational therapy, addressing sensory, motor, and social-emotional needs through engaging sessions at Cheyne Ranch and in the community. Our enriching group programs, including 'Little Sprouts: Grow Together,' foster social skills and developmental milestones for young children. Our ‘Sandbox: Adventure to Independence' program offers pre-teens, teens, and young adults community-based experiences to develop essential skills for navigating day-to-day life in natural settings. We are dedicated to empowering children of all abilities to thrive through personalized support and enriching, hands-on learning.
