A little OT magic ✨

Our clients and graduate students teamed up for an epic Star Wars Lego group project, mixed with yoga, movement, problem solving, teamwork, and so much creativity. Watching everyone collaborate, communicate, regulate, and support one another was the best part of all.

Activities like these build so much more than just a Lego creation. They strengthen visual motor skills, motor planning, frustration tolerance, executive functioning, flexibility, social connection, and confidence, all while making therapy meaningful and FUN.

The laughter, teamwork, and pride in the room today was something special. So proud of this amazing group. 🤍🧘‍♀️⭐️🧱
