Calling all Master Builders! Children’s Therapy Connection is now forming LEGO® Skill Builder™ Clubs for children with social anxiety conditions, Autism spectrum disorders, or communication difficulties. From Asperger’s Syndrome to speech delays, LEGO® building can be a valuable component to any therapy program. CTC takes it to the next level with our Skill Builder™ Clubs, providing school-aged peer groups a platform to share their individual strengths while addressing social skill-building strategies such as using greetings, turn-taking, making eye contact, nonverbal communication.

School-age clubs – Join a group based on your child’s age and social skill level

After school meetings – Build on your child’s individual strengths through the social context of regular weekly sessions

Evidence-based play – Skill-building approach to improve motivation for social interaction and establishing relationships

Great contrast to ABA therapy – Natural LEGO® play holds great inherent reward for children and provides excellent generalization of skills across settings

“Yoga at an early age encourages self-esteem and body awareness with a physical activity that’s noncompetitive. Physically, it enhances their flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. In addition, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves. Doing yoga, children exercise, play, connect more deeply with the inner self, and develop an intimate relationship with the natural world that surrounds them. Yoga brings that marvelous inner light that all children have to the surface.”

Recent global scientific research on yoga strongly suggests that yoga practices are beneficial for the mental, social-emotional, and physical health of young children. At CTC, our YOGA for Kids program weaves the fundamental principles of this ancient art, including postures (asanas), regulated breathing techniques (pranayamas), and hand poses (mudras), into traditional pediatric therapy, creating a fun, silly, and effective way for your child to achieve their therapeutic goals. Our therapists will incorporate games and story-based routines to engage your child in yoga without them even realizing it. Is your child a poor sleeper? Does he or she have low or fluctuating energy levels? Are you experiencing behavioral issues at school or daycare? Does your child struggle with high muscle tone or tightness? Try YOGA for Kids and see the difference it can make for your child!
All YOGA for Kids classes are led by a licensed physical or occupational therapist and include an individualized assessment and treatment plan established specifically for each child.
