Meet The Founder: Laura
Pediatric Occupational Therapist
I’ve always felt that the ocean is the best and purest form of therapy. As a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, I’ve seen how traditional interventions change lives, but as a long-time surfer, I know that the water has a way of healing and empowering like nothing else. Salty Kids Surf Club was born from a desire to bring those two worlds together- offering Southern California families a place where occupational therapy meets the power of the sea.
Our Mission at Salty Kids Surf Club
As the Southern California hub for neurodiverse surfing, our mission is to bring the magic of the salt and sun to our local neurodivergent kids. We believe that with a great community and the right support, every child deserves the chance to catch waves and experience the transformative power of the ocean - together.
