What is Lego Therapy, how can this help and benefit my child?

Lego Therapy gives children and young people the opportunity to work within a group of 2-3 children to complete a planned task of Lego building.  This is then divided into different roles such that social intervention is necessary to participate.  By doing this, children practice key skills of collaboration, joint attention, fair division of labour, sharing, turn-taking, eye-contact, listening, conversation skills, shared attention, problem-solving, team work and confidence building

The Lego Therapy intervention we provide is beneficial for children who:-

• Can become easily frustrated or who want to give up on a task.
• May have difficulties in creating or sustaining friendships with their peers.
• Can at times find communication a little challenging. 
• Show anxiety or those who may be feeling nervous or worried in social situations.
