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.

Real Stories, Real Success: 'We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Renee at Skills on the Hill! From day one, they made our child feel comfortable, understood, and excited to come to therapy. Their gentle, playful approach created a fun and engaging environment where our child felt safe to try new things and work on challenges.

Renee has an incredible ability to meet our child where they are and make each session meaningful. She built a strong, genuine relationship with him. Whether it’s fine motor skills, sensory needs, or emotional regulation, they tailor activities in a way that supports growth and builds confidence.

We’ve seen real progress—not just in skills, but in our child’s self-esteem and ability to apply skills learned in therapy to real life. The clinic is always welcoming, and communication with us as parents has been consistent, clear, and supportive.

We’re so thankful for Renee and the entire team at SOTH. They’ve made a big difference in our child’s life!'

Fine motor skills are all about small, precise movements like holding a crayon, buttoning shirts, or picking up small objects. ✏️ Gross motor skills involve big body movements. Running, jumping, climbing, and balance activities. 🏃‍♀️ Both are essential for your child’s independence, confidence, and overall development. Learning the difference can help you support them in the right ways! 💡

Backpack Safety Tips for Kids

Keep it Light
➤ A full backpack should weigh no more than 10-15% of your child’s body weight.

Wear Both Straps
➤ Always use both shoulder straps to distribute weight evenly.

Adjust the Fit
➤ The bottom of the backpack should sit at or just above the waistline, not lower on the back.

Use Padded Straps
➤ Choose a backpack with wide, padded shoulder straps and a padded back for comfort and protection.

Pack Smart
➤ Heavier items should be placed closest to the back of the pack.
Proper fit now = fewer problems later!
