LEGO® Club:
LEGO® Based Therapy (Le Geoff et.al.) is a social intervention program for children with autism spectrum disorders. LEGO® based intervention helps engage young people with ASD in a social activity by adding structure, clear rules.
​
Each child has a specific role, and they work together as a team to build a model while practicing key social skills, such as sharing, turning taking, listening, joint attention, and problem solving. Lego club creates a space where children can explore their creativity and interests, while being supported to develop socially.
​
In LEGO Club we focus on developing collaboration, task participation, verbal and non-verbal communication, conflict resolution, fine motor skills, visual motor skills and self-regulation.

We run three groups across the weeks to carter for a variety of age groups including: Kindergarten kids, primary school kids and high school kids.
