Mighty and Mini Muscles Boys Groups
These action packed groups are designed especially for boys and will focus on sensory motor development. Join us for lots of jumping, crashing, pushing, sliding, spinning and heavy body work activities that engage the sensory system. The boys will enjoy obstacle courses, use of a large play structure and games that promote upper body and core strengthening, endurance, motor planning and sequencing. Led by a licensed Occupational Therapist, emphasis will be on proximal stability, ability to move smoothly through transitional patterns, functional use of flexion and extension patterns. Sensory stimulation will be provided through activities that provide proprioception, tactile, and vestibular input. The groups will meet weekly for 90 minutes.
