Lego Therapy

Lego Therapy is a speech, language, communication and social intervention aimed at building the skills to allow children and young people to effectively interact and socially problem solve. It is a structured approach that provides participants with opportunities to build models in a collaborative manner whilst developing key social and emotional skills.

While initially targeted solely at students with Autism, the approach has been found to be effective with a range of participants including those with social communication needs, behavioural difficulties and social anxiety. It has been used with a range of ages from early years through to college-age students.

Training is offered through two complementary sessions. The Introduction to Lego Therapy offers attendees the chance to explore the fundamentals of the approach and provide them with the skills to start their own Lego Therapy groups. Once participants have had a chance to gain some experience with Lego groups, they can then attend the Advanced sessions that provide more of an insight into the adult role, effective facilitation of the group and troubleshooting opportunities to manage any difficulties they have experienced.

Sessions are delivered by an Educational Psychologist and a member of the Communication and Interaction Team to reflect the wide-ranging impact of the intervention.
