Holistic Helpers

Not all kids sail through childhood without a care in the world. Some need a little extra help along the way.

That's why Lotus Therapy makes so much sense. The brainchild of a trio of pediatric occupational and physical therapists, the new Fort Green-based studio offers a slew of fun and innovative services – including OT, PT, yoga and handwriting help – for children with and without special needs and their parents.

Lotus Therapy's yoga classes, for example, follow the Sonia Sumar Method of Yoga for the Special Child and have been shown to increase strength, flexibility and balance while improving concentration and body awareness. Handwriting Help makes use of the Handwriting without Tears techniques and tools to improve a child's posture, pencil grip and ultimately, legibility. All Lotus Therapy classes are designed to build confidence, coordination, concentration and self-esteem – which is something wee ones of all abilities can benefit from.
