Lego therapy (Legoff, 2004) is a motivating way of developing children’s social communication skills. Adults watch quietly and give the children time to communicate, identify communication breakdowns and discover how to repair them themselves before providing any guidance. This system is also an effective way of developing children’s understanding of their own and other’s thoughts and feelings. It is effective for children with a range of communication difficulties, including those with:
- Social communication difficulties,
- ASD or Asperger’s syndrome
- Receptive and/or expressive language difficulties
- Speech intelligibility difficulties
Lego therapy requires 3 participants. Each child is allocated a specific role, which changes each session:
- Engineer – who looks at the instructions, describes the Lego pieces required and how to construct the model
- Supplier – who listens to the Engineer’s descriptions and finds the brick(s) in the tray
- Builder – who listens to the Engineer’s instructions and builds the model
