LEGO Therapy in Adelaide
What it is, What it is Used for, and How it Can Help Your Child
LEGO therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses LEGO bricks as a tool to help children and adolescents with social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. It is an evidence-based intervention that has been shown to be effective in improving communication, social skills, and emotional regulation in children with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, and other mental health conditions.
At Connect Psychology in Adelaide, we offer LEGO therapy as part of our comprehensive range of services for children and families. Our LEGO therapy sessions are designed to provide a fun and engaging way for children to learn and practice social skills such as turn-taking, sharing, and collaboration, as well as problem-solving and emotional regulation.
During LEGO therapy sessions, children work together in small groups to build LEGO models based on specific instructions or their own designs. The therapist guides the children in the process, facilitating communication and interaction between them. The therapist also provides feedback and support to help the children learn from their experiences and develop their skills.
LEGO therapy is a valuable tool for children who may have difficulty expressing themselves verbally or who struggle with social interaction. It provides a safe and structured environment for them to practice their social skills and develop their confidence and self-esteem. It is also a fun and enjoyable activity that can help children build positive relationships with their peers and adults.
At Connect Psychology, our LEGO therapy sessions are tailored to the individual needs and goals of each child. We work closely with parents and caregivers to ensure that the therapy is integrated into the child’s broader treatment plan and that they receive the support they need to continue practicing their skills at home.
