What is Lego Therapy?
Play is a child’s natural medium to learn, develop and communicate. Some children find it difficult to express themselves through talking. Play and LEGO® Based Therapy uses play to help children explore their experiences and express themselves.
LEGO® Based Therapy is a Social Skills Programme. It has proven to be an effective way to support children in developing their communication and social skills, increasing social interactions and social experiences as well as providing them skills to maintain friendships. The LEGO® Based Therapy programme uses children or young people’s interest in Lego® play and supports to develop their communication and social skills.
