The path here
Marisol has spent fourteen years in pediatric OT, the last nine in Santa Cruz, and founded Tidepool in 2016 after watching too many families wait six months for a first visit that lasted thirty minutes. Her doctorate researched parent-delivered sensory strategies, which is why every OT plan here treats the parent as the second patient.
What families say
Speech therapy, early intervention, and the person who will tell you honestly if your child does not need therapy.
