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.

Our PTs and OTs at Skills on the Hill have been using Soft Spot since last spring with great results as part of our work with infants with head shape concerns. We want to help get the word out about this amazing technology as they are a newer company and you may have seen some of their ads on social media or met them at a recent pediatric conference.

What is Soft Spot?
Soft Spot is a cap-based system paired with software that allows providers to take quick photos and obtain objective cranial measurements to help identify and track head shape asymmetries (such as plagiocephaly and brachycephaly) over time. It’s designed to support early identification, monitoring progress, and clearer communication with families.

They are offering to meet in a group format and then are also doing individual demos for anyone who is interested in learning more, see below:

Demo Opportunities:

🔹 Group Demo Presentation via Zoom
📅 January 19
⏰ 12:00 PM Eastern / 9:00 AM Pacific
👉 Sign up link in comments

🔹 1:1 Demo with the Soft Spot Team (our demo
took 30-45 minutes)
👉 Schedule link in comments

If you’re a pediatric PT, OT, or other infant care provider interested in learning how this tool works and how it fits into clinical practice, these demos are a great place to start. I am including some images for you to see the changes that can happen over time and how the technology shows it.

Feeding challenges are more common than you think - and no, they’re not caused by “picky behavior” alone. Let’s clear up a few myths so your child can get the support they deserve. 🍎👶
Myths vs. Facts:
• Myth: “They’ll grow out of it.”
Fact: Many feeding difficulties need guided support - not time.
• Myth: “They’re just being stubborn.”
Fact: Sensory, motor, or medical factors may be at play.
• Myth: “Therapy is only for extreme cases.”
Fact: Early intervention leads to better progress for all kids.

Core strength is the foundation for a child’s posture, balance, and overall mobility, impacting everything from sitting at a desk to running on the playground. 💪 At Skills on the Hill, our pediatric physical therapists focus on building strong core muscles through fun, age-appropriate exercises that keep kids engaged while they strengthen their bodies. Activities might include crawling, climbing, balancing on beams, ball exercises, or animal walks like “bear crawls” and “crab walks.”

By strengthening the core, children gain better posture, improved coordination, and enhanced stability, which helps prevent injuries, increases confidence in movement, and supports daily activities like dressing, writing, or participating in sports. Core exercises aren’t just about fitness - they’re about empowering children to move safely, confidently, and independently in all aspects of life.

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.
