Our Practice

Our Practice

Skills on the Hill (SOTH) is a pediatric therapy practice with locations in Washington, D.C., and Arlington, VA that specializes in supporting and empowering children and families to climb to their fullest potential.

Our occupational, speech, and physical therapists have advanced training and specialization to support the development of children from birth through high school as well as young adults across home, community, and school settings. Therapy at SOTH is fun and engaging while using your child’s interests and motivations as our guide. 

Kristen Masci, Owner, and CEO, brought Skills on the Hill to life in 2002 to serve the growing need for pediatric-based therapy services in the Capitol Hill area. The first office started out of the basement of Kristen’s former home in Capitol Hill, so her husband suggested the name for the company to be Skills on the Hill.

Over the years, Skills on the Hill has grown to offer not only outpatient therapy services but also school-based therapy at many local schools as well as early intervention therapy in residents’ homes.   

With a sharpened eye for meeting the ever-changing needs of families in our region, Skills on the Hill is proud to now serve a variety of children’s needs through inclusive and comprehensive services targeting overall childhood development.

With a menu of options including parent coaching and education, consultation and education with school teams, and early childhood and summer group offerings, Skills on the Hill is excited to work with your child to build self-esteem and confidence.

Message from Kristen

Welcome to Skills on the Hill! I am so glad you found us. As a sibling of a person with special needs, I know the value and difference that superior occupational, physical, and speech therapy can bring to a person’s life. My sister, Beth, now 48 years old, is a cancer survivor and a true miracle.  I have childhood memories of accompanying her to many medical appointments.  My family worked with countless professionals over the years and the saying absolutely rings true, it does take a village.  I want you to know that you have found your village at Skills on the Hill.  We promise to support you and your child on this journey to do hard things and to have fun while doing them. At Skills on the Hill, we can’t wait to celebrate all the wins along the way. Thanks for trusting us and giving us the opportunity to work with you!

Pediatric Therapy Can Benefit Your Child 

At Skills on the Hill, our goal is to help your child achieve their full potential! Because no two patients are alike, our treatment regimens are individually tailored to your child’s areas of need, parent and family goals, and geared to make a real difference in overall performance. 

You may be concerned about your child’s first therapy session or evaluation if you have never visited a therapy office before. There’s no need to be concerned though!  We disguise everything as play and our offices are designed to be such a fun place that most children do not want to leave! Our therapists are expert “playmates” and they keep activities motivating and interesting so your child does not even realize therapy is occurring.  Pretending to be a pirate, a princess, or a favorite movie character while pumping a swing, turn-taking while playing a game, or trying to eat new food happens all day long at Skills on the Hill. 

We are confident that every child who walks through our doors can be helped with our special care, individualized approach, and dedication. Our pediatric therapists are excited to see your child achieve their health, wellness, and developmental goals.
