LEGO CLUB

A fun collaborative play therapy group whereby children work together to build LEGO models. Meeting every Wednesday or Thursday afternoon for ten weeks across the school term, your child will have opportunity to establish friendships with likeminded peers. LEGO club therapy has proven evidence to build social competence for children with autism and related conditions and benefits children through developing skills in:

  • Collaboration

  • Joint attention

  • Joint accomplishment

  • Division of labour

  • Sharing

  • Turn taking

  • Eye-contact

  • Gaze-following

  • Verbal communication

  • Non-verbal communication
