Let's Build
Lego based therapy group
LEGO-Based Therapy supports social interaction and problem solving through the use of LEGO activities.
While initially developed for children with autism, LEGO-Based Therapy has since been found to benefit children with a variety of communication difficulties
What are the benefits of LEGO-Based Therapy?
Playing with LEGO in a therapy setting promotes social interaction, turn-taking skills, sharing, collaborative problem-solving and the learning of concepts. By using a commonly adored tool like LEGO it capitalises on its existing motivation and supports self-esteem by allowing the participants to demonstrate their skills in a social situation. It also sets up a positive opportunity for guided social problem-solving to help develop social skills that can then be used in other situations.
The group runs for 8 weeks with a maximum of 5 participants.
You will need to commit to the block as the skills build week on week so cannot be joined mid-way through. Please sign up to each week in the block e.g., block 1, individually.
