"We have been going here for years and can't say enough great things about everyone here, from the director to the therapists to the admin staff. It feels like a family here. The therapists are fun, engaging, and knowledgeable and the gym has many fun activities that my son enjoys. Everyone really cares, here, and parents are involved in the process. We've seen OT, PT, and speech and have been happy with all of our providers over the years. Actually cried when we just said goodbye."

"We have been bringing our son to MoCo for his speech therapy and Occupational therapy. We are so proud of the progress he has made. His speech, social, and behavior has improved tremendously over the past 5 years. Each therapist made a tailored plan for son which was really great. His ability to work with different therapists who understand his plan is also a great way the therapists communicate with each other."

"My son goes for physical therapy and occupational therapy for his sensory and vestibular needs! His team of therapists are AMAZING and communicate, are consistent, and always on the same page with each other. They are so good at integrating activities that the kids are interested in and make it fun! They are inclusive towards all! Most of the time you have a therapist and an aide! Lastly, the team is all about giving home activities that are manageable to practice. Go to MoCo!"

"I am in the special education field, and when I was told that my little one needed pediatric OT, I knew exactly where I wanted him to go! MoCo Movement therapists have a great reputation and their facility is great! His therapist is very knowledgeable and has helped him improve his fine motor skills so much his teachers at school can see it too. He loves coming to OT and looks forward to it every week!"

"Been going here for a year or so for our daughter who has a mild OT related delay. We are Kaiser members, and both us parents are in healthcare. I think they do a really good job. They are attentive, are service oriented, have been able to accommodate our challenging schedule needs. Being in healthcare I have to say they are doing an amazing job. There are so many limitations and restrictions and things that get in the way of a patient and getting what they need. Kinda refreshing that this place does what it is supposed to do and they make it seem effortless."

"We have been going to MOCO for 2 1/2 years and absolutely love it. The staff are all amazing and kind. There is great communication and quick to answer questions. I am able to take what we do there and work with him at home. This summer both my boys did the Tumblin class and they had a great time and learned a lot."

Pediatric Occupational Therapy
"My son has been going to MoCo Movement center for the last 8 months. He has made tremendous progress with his gross motor skills, more so than any other PT/OT center we've used over the years. His therapist provides me with a face to face briefing at the end of each of his sessions. The other aspect about the program that I really like is that she challenges him constantly. Pushes him to try harder and do better! Sometimes the therapists will tag-team and he will have a PT and one or two assistants helping out during his session."

"I began taking my daughter to Moco for physical therapy this summer. The customer service is great from the moment you walk in the door because you feel seen and heard. My daughter was dealing with a medical issue and Eena and the staff at Moco has helped her improve tremendously with the home program given to me. All of the staff are wonderful and they truly care about the kids. They create personal experiences for your child's unique needs."

"We signed up for the intensive bike riding class! We had tried popular programs, such as Peddle Jumpers, with no success. We have even tried private lessons. My son was really motivated and truly wanted to learn biking. I can't think of a better program. The two teachers are so invested in your child's learning. Whatever their hiccups might be, they have tons of tricks and experience to get them going. And in just two sessions my son was riding. They are absolutely amazing. I can't say enough. Highly highly recommend and thank you for all of the work that you do for our kiddos! Your passion really shows."

"MOCO Movement's Bike Intensive class was such an amazing experience for my 2 children. I highly recommend it! The entire week was full of fun and meaningful games, one on one coaching, and positive energy. The best part was seeing the smiles on my kids' faces when they conquered riding 2 wheelers, a moment we will all never forget!"

"My son participated in the bike class. It was excellent. He loved every single day. The instructors were caring and invested. They really made an effort to keep him engaged because he was a little more advanced than I anticipated, but they brought cones and obstacles for him which I appreciated. He was excited every morning to go."

Learn to Bike / Bike Intensive
Families from Kensington, Rockville, Bethesda, Wheaton, and across Montgomery County have brought children to the MOCO Bike Intensive. Many start with kids who have tried other programs. Some have never been able to glide independently. Some are hesitant riders who just need the right environment. Here is what parents say about what changed.
"I have worked with the folks at MoCo both personally and professionally and adore them. As an advocate, Moco is one of my top recommendations for fun, strengths-based therapies. As a parent, my child absolutely adores the Tiny Tumblers classes and visiting with Callie and Barbara. I will continue to recommend Moco to families and my daughter and I will continue to enjoy classes in such a supportive, inclusive space!"

"We have cared for both of our children over four years. Their interventions have been vital to our children's development, and their family-centered approach has empowered everyone, children and parents, to play a role in our children's success. They have advocated tirelessly for us to ensure insurance coverage, and they have gone above and beyond to make sure our children receive the care they need. We really feel part of the MOCO family."

"We have been going here since my son was two years old and diagnosed with the genetic condition. He is now six and Moco is without a doubt his favorite place to go. As a mom of a kid with special needs it's hard to find recreational activities sometimes, and even though Moco is a place for therapeutic work, it's also a place for fun! The environment is inviting. Therapists are knowledgeable and dedicated! Administrative staff is welcoming and always makes you feel like a part of the Moco Family!"

"We've been going there since MOCO opened. Great place! Our kid loves MOCO. We love how MOCO blends play and movement with helping children build life skills. The place is laid out as a kids gym with a great terrain for play. We also love the location, quiet and beautiful."
