Hi, I'm Rachel Ferguson, OTD, OTR/L!

I'm a pediatric occupational therapist and the founder of OThe Places Pediatric Therapy. My mission is simple: to help children build the skills and confidence they need to thrive in their everyday lives — and to make that journey feel like an adventure worth taking.

Over the past three years, I've had the privilege of working with children of all ages, abilities, and developmental needs — supporting participation and independence in daily activities, play, learning, social engagement, self-regulation, and motor development. My approach is always individualized and strengths-based, because I believe every child has a unique path to their fullest potential.

I believe children learn best in the environments where they naturally live, play, and grow. That's why I bring therapy directly into your child's home, school, and community — making sessions more meaningful, functional, and woven into the rhythms of real life. When therapy happens in familiar places, families see real-world progress everywhere that matters most.

"I look forward to partnering with your family to help your little explorer discover all the places they can go — and all the things they can do."

As a mobile OT service, we bring therapy to your home, school, and community throughout Broward County and select South Palm Beach areas.

03

Family is part of the team

You know your child best. We partner closely with families and caregivers so that progress carries over into every corner of daily life.

Celebrating every win

Big milestones and tiny triumphs alike — we celebrate them all, because every step forward matters.
