Groups

Prana OT periodically offers group opportunities for preschool aged children through adolescence. Groups are typically offered in session blocks of 8-10 weeks and follow a seasonal schedule (e.g. fall, winter, spring, summer). Groups are kept to a small number of 3-6 participants in order to remain therapeutic in nature. Participants are approved on an individual basis and grouped together according to age, therapeutic needs, and overall group fit. Participation often comes at the recommendation of the child’s therapist, and much consideration is given to specific groupings.  Content and focus are tailored to meet specific needs of each group.

Potential areas of focus include:

  • Self-Regulation (of attention, arousal, and emotions)
  • Social-Emotional Skill Building and Education
  • Psychosocial Development and Education
  • Gross-Motor Development and Motor Planning
  • Fine-Motor Development, Visual Processing, and Visual-Motor Integration
  • Sensory Based Feeding
  • Sensory Modulation
  • Play Development (younger child) 

Common interventions and activities include:

  • Yoga and Mindfulness
  • Sensory Integration
  • Sensory Exploration and Sensory-Based Strategies
  • Therapeutic Games (all areas of focus)
  • Arts and Crafts
  • Social Smarts Concepts and Activities
