Lego club is therapy based intervention that involves building LEGO models in small groups of three where the children take on different roles and work together. Lego club benefits those who need support with turn taking, sharing, joint problem solving and general communication and social communication skills.

Lego-based therapy is the outcome of much research and study into finding

 ‘an effective social development intervention for children with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) and other conditions affecting social competence.’                                                                          (Daniel B. LeGoff et al)

We are pleased to be able to offer this intervention and will be of great benefit to those who need support with turn taking, sharing, joint problem solving and general communication and social communication skills.
