Save the date! Our Holiday Gift Drive opens Nov. 2!

Each year, our clinicians gather gift wishes from the clients they work with. Then our community comes together to make those wishes come true. Every gift is wrapped and hand-delivered by a trusted clinician, a small moment that means so much to the youth we serve.

It may look like just games, but every block stacked, every puddle splashed and every round of pretend is building skills that last a lifetime. 🧸

From calming the body to strengthening little hands to learning how to make friends, play builds the foundation for school, relationships and adulthood. That’s why our occupational therapists use play to help children grow.

This World Mental Health Day, we're honoring this year's theme: Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change. 💚

The people we work with know best what support looks like. Here's what youth and families in our community have shared about their experience with OTTP.

Since 1999, we've supported Bay Area youth, and their families, in building the skills, confidence and independence to thrive. We also walk alongside their caregivers, because when families feel supported, young people do too. Every voice matters, and every story deserves to be heard.
