✿ PEDIATRIC THERAPY AT GROWILD
A collective of clinicians
under one shared philosophy.
GroWild is more than a space — it's the home base for independent therapists who share a commitment to Ayres Sensory Integration®, neurodiversity-affirming care, and relationship-driven therapy. You book with the clinician who's right for your family. We work as a team to make sure the care holds together.
— THE SHARED BRIEF
Different clinicians.
One Shared approach
Ayres Sensory Integration®
Gold-standard, evidence-based framework at the center of our treatment
Neurodiversity-affirming
We support how your child's brain works, not how others wish it worked.
Authentic & Relationship Driven

— HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
A team approach, when it serves your child.
1
You inquire
Email the clinician you're drawn to, or reach out to GroWild and we'll help you find the right fit.
When a child works with more than one of us, we collaborate — with your permission and at your pace. Most of the time, that means quiet alignment behind the scenes so your sessions stay coherent.
2
A conversation
The clinician you've chosen explores what your family needs and explains how their work could help.
3
Care begins
You book directly with your clinician's practice. Pricing, insurance, and scheduling are set by each individual practice.We collaborate as needed to keep your child's care aligned
Insurance and Fees
Our clinicians are independent practitioners, each setting their own fees, insurance arrangements, and intake processes. Please contact each clinician through their practice to discuss fees, scheduling, and clinical questions before booking.
We work transparently with families. All our clinicians are mandated reporters under Washington State law; we communicate openly with you about anything that requires action.
— START HERE —
Every family starts with a conversation.

— WHERE WE GROW
Two spaces. Two ways your child can thrive
✿ INDOOR · CAMAS, WA
The Boutique Playroom
A 1,500 sq ft sensory-motor gym built to ASI® fidelity. Specialty lighting, custom woodwork, and a thoughtfully designed environment for indoor sensory integration sessions.
ASI® · Sensory-motor · Feeding · Co-treatment
Therapy at GroWild happens across two intentional environments — both designed to give children what they need to grow.
Our private equine-assisted therapy site, set on 50 acres in Hockinson. Hippotherapy, outdoor sensory regulation, and the kind of work that only happens when therapy moves outside.
Hippotherapy · Equine-assisted · Outdoor sessions
Farm address shared with clients after booking. Equine-assisted sessions are available to existing clients with a current evaluation — confirm fit during your initial conversation.
— OUR APPROACH
A sociological approach to care —
not a medical one.
Most pediatric therapy is built on the medical model: identify the deficit, write the goal, fix what's broken. That model can help — but it positions your child as the problem.
GroWild is built on a sociological model. We don't see your child as broken. We see a child whose nervous system, communication style, and way of being deserve environments, relationships, and skills that fit who they are.
So we don't just treat the child — we work with families, schools, and the wider community to build a world that actually fits.
That's why our work extends beyond individual sessions. Therapy that ends at the clinic door has limited reach. Therapy that reaches the whole ecosystem is what changes lives.
— THE FRAMEWORK THAT SHAPED MY PRACTICE
Why Ayres Sensory Integration® is at the heart of GroWild.
Most parents have never heard of ASI before. Here's what it is — and why it changes everything.
01
What ASI® is
The gold-standard, evidence-based framework for understanding how the nervous system processes sensory information — and how that shapes learning, behavior, regulation, relationships, sleep, and eating.
02
Why it matters
Most childhood challenges that get labeled "behavior problems" are actually sensory processing differences. ASI lets us see the body underneath the behavior.
03
How we practice it
How we practice it Our OTs are ASI®-certified, trained through USC's Graduate Certificate program and CLASI's EASI evaluation pathway. Our speech-language pathologist works in close collaboration with our ASI® team, integrating sensory-informed approaches into communication therapy. GroWild's playroom is built to ASI® fidelity standards.
04
The EASI (Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration) is the gold-standard sensory assessment used by ASI® clinicians worldwide. EASI-certified clinicians use it to give families a precise, evidence-based understanding of how their child's nervous system processes the world — and to guide targeted ASI® interventions and supports.
— THE INSIGHT AT THE CENTER
When a child can't focus, can't sit still, melts down at transitions, refuses certain foods, or seems "in their own world" — it's rarely about willpower or motivation. It's about how their nervous system is processing the world. ASI gives us the science to understand that, and the tools to actually help.
— WHAT WE OFFER
Care that reaches beyond the clinic door.
— DIRECT CARE
Individual Therapy
One-on-one sessions tailored to your child's nervous system, communication style, and goals.
Co-Treatment Groups
Small group sessions led by our OT and SLP — sensory, social, and communication goals together.
— FAMILY SUPPORT
Whole-Family Support
We work with the whole family — child, caregivers, siblings — because regulation and growth happen in relationship.
— BEYOND THE CLINIC
Community Education
Workshops and talks bringing sensory, neuroaffirming knowledge into our community.
Continuing Education
Trainings & CEUs for OTs, SLPs, educators, and fellow clinicians
Community Groups
Larger groups building authentic confidence, unmasking safely, and finding belonging on their own terms.
Parent Coaching
Private sessions for caregivers — translating clinical insights into real-life strategies and building confidence in your own knowing.
School Consulting
Partnering with schools on sensory environments, IEPs, and staff education.
Educational Assessments
Independent evaluations to support IEPs, school placement, and family advocacy.
— WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE
Two models. Two very different experiences.
— THE MEDICAL MODEL
Child is the patient.
Identifies deficits.
Goal: normalize behavior.
Therapy ends at the clinic.
Tracks compliance.
Outcomes: skills acquired.
— THE SOCIOLOGICAL MODEL
Child is part of a system.
Identifies misalignments.
Goal: build authentic self.
Therapy extends to the community.
Tracks regulation, autonomy, joy.
Outcomes: belonging, confidence, agency.
