Broad pediatric practice
Experience across pediatric outpatient clinics, schools, developmental daycare programs and pediatric daycare settings provides perspective on how children function across different environments.
About Novel Heights
Care shaped by experience—and centered on the life your child is living.
Novel Heights brings together pediatric occupational therapy, family partnership, and purposeful outdoor experiences to help children participate with greater confidence.

Clinical depth with a warm, practical approach.
Dr. Kelsey Adcock earned her Doctorate of Occupational Therapy in 2019 and has worked in pediatric practice since then across outpatient, school-based, developmental daycare and pediatric daycare settings, including service as a lead therapist.

Experience that shapes the care
Training matters most when families can feel the difference.
Dr. Kelsey’s background supports a whole-child view of regulation, movement, vision, feeding, routines, and meaningful participation.
Specialized clinical study
Continuing education includes pediatric functional vision, feeding and mealtime challenges, sensory-motor development, NeuroTactile work, and reflex-integration approaches.
Nature and adaptive access
Her 2019 doctoral capstone developed adaptive camping and hiking programming, and she later developed and implemented a pediatric outdoor camp.
Teaching, leadership, and service
Her background includes lead-therapist experience, adjunct teaching, professional presentations, international service, and recognition with a Servant Leadership Award.
Where Novel Heights began
An outdoor idea became a long-term calling.
The name Novel Heights first appeared in Dr. Kelsey’s doctoral capstone, Novel Heights: Adaptive Camping and Hiking Programming, completed with the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture Research and Extension.
That early work connected occupational therapy, adaptive access, family education, and the outdoors. Today, the same foundation guides Novel Heights Therapy Services and the developing Novel Heights Foundation.
Our values
What guides the work.
Relationships first
Children need to feel safe, seen, and understood before meaningful growth can happen.
Families as partners
Parents are essential partners in understanding needs and carrying progress into daily life.
Confidence for real life
Progress matters most when it improves routines, relationships, participation, and joy.
We would be honored to meet your family.
