Kidspace

Dr King really helped my troubled teen.
She was quite fond of him which rely helped.
He has a great pug dog also.

As a parent, you do everything you can to give your kids a good start. And through luck of the draw or a situation gone wrong, (in our case domestic violence), your child needs help.
Given our background, my little boy has a developmental deficit relating to kids his age and managing his feelings. He missed that developmental stage where he learned how to move through transitions and relate to his peers (i.e. his confusion in asking a 6 month old baby what his name is and his ability to better relate to children several years older but not to kids his own age.)
Children who are on the spectrum, have emotional or developmental issues, have sensory processing or behavioral issues, you will find help here.
Talented occupational therapists and MFTs (marriage and family therapists for those who are are new to this learning curve), 3 or 4 OTs guide these 50-​minute, very small group sessions (6 children) designed to help kids «catch up».
In the outer Mission/​Bernal Heights, Kidspace is a fantastic resource for your children– and for parents. In two sessions, my little boy seems lighter, more engaged with his peers and I’ve traded information with parents (everything from schools to what potty-​training works) in the waiting area since it’s a kids-​only and therapist-​assisted play space so your child can learn.
I think Kidspace is a fantastic resource. Add it to Children’s Council, Support for Families, CTRP and therapists like Amy Klatzkin, Richard King and Karen Wolfe who are experts in child development– and who will help your child.
Hugely and highly recommended!

This is a great place for children & parents. My son attended twice weekly OT sessions for one year. If we hadn’t moved out of the city, he would still be a client. Diagnosed with Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder & a severe Speech delay, my 2 year old son needed lots of help. Our therapist (Kelly Hevenor) worked patiently and my son showed amazing results. The people here provide more than just clinical assistance. The waiting room has 2 huge binders of articles that you can take for free, a community bulletin board with helpful services, special group sessions for summer or getting ready for school and moral support. There is a lending library for therapeutic listening therapy. I can not speak highly enough of Kidspace. There are so many therapists offering a wide variety of services that there is sure to be a perfect fit for your family.
Update: Feb. 2013. We moved to Marin and still come to Kidspace as much as we can. There are no good OT situations in Marin Co.
