LEGO-Based Therapy is a social and communication intervention that uses LEGO activities to support the development of a wide range of social skills within a group setting. It can be used to target goals around social skills, language and motor skills. Furthermore it 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.
During a LEGO-Based Therapy session, three children work together to build a LEGO model following.
Each child takes on one of three specific roles to do this:
Using this format provides each child with an opportunity to practice and develop a wide range of skills, including language skills (in both giving and receiving instructions) turn-taking, negotiating, sharing and collaborative social problem-solving. It also encourages children to reflect on their own actions and skills as well as give constructive feedback to their peers.
