Lego therapy builds social competence
Lego-based therapy is not new. LeGoff et al developed their innovative therapeutic approach in the mid-1990s and it arose from an observation of two boys in Dr LeGoff's practice in Honolulu, who discovered each other through their Lego play.
The book Lego-Based Therapy defines a particular therapeutic approach. It is a "social development programme" according to its authors, and its aim is to provide a social development intervention for children with autism spectrum conditions (ASCs). It is a collaborative therapy in which children work together to build Lego models, although can be used in either individual or group therapy modalities. The authors claim the therapy may also be utilised to assist other similar conditions that affect the social competency aspect of a child's development.
