What We Do
Wish Upon a Star Pediatric Therapy provides mobile occupational therapy for children of all ages in Austin and Dripping Springs, Texas. We simplify your busy life by bringing individualized, play-based therapy directly to your child's home, private school, and day care.
By working within your child’s natural environment, we support the development of skills, confidence, and independence in the places they live, learn, and play.
Through meaningful relationships, play-based intervention, family collaboration, and evidence-based care, we support children and their families every step of the way.
Why We Do It
At Wish Upon a Star Pediatric Therapy, we believe every child deserves to be seen, understood, and supported for who they are. To us, a wish is more than a dream. It is a vision of what could be and the courage to take steps toward it.
Our goal is not only to help children reach developmental milestones, but also to help them feel capable, connected, and confident as they grow. We embrace a neurodiversity-affirming approach that celebrates each child’s unique strengths, respects their individuality, and supports their autonomy. We believe meaningful progress begins with understanding and that every child should have the opportunity to shine in their own unique way.

CLIENT-CENTERED
We believe you, your child, and your family are the experts in your child’s life. Your input, priorities, and preferences are at the heart of everything we do.
Your child’s therapist works closely with your family to identify meaningful goals and create a personalized plan that reflects your child’s strengths, interests, preferences, and needs. We take a collaborative approach that respects each child’s individuality and autonomy while recognizing the essential role families play in the therapy process. Together, we support your child in making meaningful progress and reaching their full potential.

MOBILE
We come to you. By providing therapy in the comfort and familiarity of your child’s home and community, we support meaningful progress where it matters most. Rather than relying on a traditional clinic setting, we focus on helping your child build skills within their everyday routines and real-life experiences.
This approach encourages natural learning, strong carryover, and meaningful collaboration with caregivers. Our goal is to help your child gain independence, build confidence, and participate more fully in daily activities while supporting lasting progress and an improved quality of life.
-
COLLABORATIVE
Our practice is guided by co-owners with diverse clinical backgrounds across outpatient clinics, public and private schools, and home health. This experience provides a strong foundation for delivering high-quality, individualized occupational therapy to children with a wide range of needs.
Through ongoing mentorship and clinical collaboration, we support our therapists in providing thoughtful, personalized care. We value interdisciplinary collaboration and thoughtfully selected community partnerships while maintaining our independent occupational therapy perspective.
-
HOLISTIC
We take a holistic approach to therapy, supporting your child’s physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. We look at the whole child, not just individual challenges, to better understand their unique strengths, needs, and experiences.
By considering your child’s overall well-being and the environments in which they live, learn, and play, we focus on building skills that enhance daily life, promote independence, and support meaningful, lasting progress. Our goal is to help every child participate more fully in the activities and experiences that matter most to them.
