Junior LEGO® Masters Group

Summit Pediatric Therapy is excited to introduce our newest summer group, called Junior LEGO® Masters Group. Our Junior LEGO® Masters Group will target fine motor and cognitive skills in a peer group setting with a focus on teamwork, competition, problem solving, and following directions

Our LEGO®-Based Therapy is a therapeutic tool used by a wide range of professionals to support with social interaction, play skills including turn taking, listening skills, problem solving and communication during group activities.

About Our LEGO®-Based Therapy Group

LEGO®-Based Therapy uses group rules, roles and collaboration in a supportive and rewarding environment thus allowing the development of a person’s social interaction skills that are required for everyday situations; such as, turn taking, collaborating, sharing, social problem solving, joint focus, following social rules and communication. LEGO®-based occupational therapy can be used as a platform for developing and building upon foundational occupational therapy skills; such as, fine motor, bilateral integration, visual and core stability.

Benefits of Our Junior LEGO® Masters Group

  • Fine Motor
    • Fine motor skills relate to the small intricate and detailed movements of the hands, fingers and wrists which are needed to manipulate, control, and use objects and tools.
  • Bilateral Integration
    • When building a LEGO® model step by step or incorporating free play, an individual will need to use their bilateral integration skills, which for some is not automatic. Our bodies are symmetrical and usually both sides are used together, for example, when dressing or eating. Bilateral Integration is the use of both sides of the body and the ability to coordinate the left and right hands to accomplish functional tasks. LEGO®-based occupational therapy allows for the development of bilateral integration skills to enable an individual to become successful when building, these skills can then be transferred over to other functional activities such as handwriting.
  • Sensory Skills
    • LEGO®-based occupational therapy can help with sensory processing by stimulating the senses. Object finding uses tactile perception and discrimination; LEGO® supports this by offering unique textures, shapes and sizes. When using bricks to build models, individuals need to apply the right amount of pressure to ensure they connect; this not only promotes strength in the wrist, hand and fingers but also develops a child’s proprioception.
  • Visual Performance
    • Visual perception is one’s ability to receive, process, organize, and interpret visual information. The skills of visual perception are important for academic tasks such as: handwriting, reading, spelling, and math. Using LEGO®-based occupational therapy can help support visual perception by matching LEGO® bricks the same size or color together, following and remembering the instructions to move on to the next step when building a model, finding a specific piece of LEGO® amongst all the other pieces, and being able to put the LEGO® blocks together to build the figure shown in the picture which helps to develop visual motor skills.
  • Play Skills
    • Learning to play is vital for any child. Through play children can learn about their environment, their bodies, the world around them, how to interact with others, and develop their social skills. LEGO®-based therapy allows children to play together with rules, roles and team work, building on communication skills (verbal and non-verbal), problem solving skills and much more.

Parent Testimonials
As a parent of a child with autism, I've always wanted him to be able to create meaningful friendships with kids his age. From the first time my son walked into Summit Pediatric Therapy, he was made to feel warm and welcome. His pediatric therapists worked tirelessly to help him develop the skills to start creating friendships. We are thankful for the life skills they helped him develop.
