A little OT magic ✨ “Do or do not… there is A little OT magic ✨

“Do or do not… there is no try.” , Yoda definitely would have approved of this project. 💚

Over the course of the past few weeks, many of our clients and graduate students worked together to complete this epic Star Wars Lego creation through teamwork, creativity, problem solving, patience, and collaboration. The force was definitely strong in this room. ⭐️

Watching everyone communicate, support one another, and work together toward one shared goal was the best part of all. This project built so much more than a Lego creation, it strengthened visual motor skills, motor planning, executive functioning, frustration tolerance, flexibility, social connection, and confidence, all while making therapy meaningful and FUN.

“Much to learn, we still have…” but this group absolutely crushed it. So proud of everyone who helped bring this project to life. 🤍🧱✨
