Description:LEGO ® Club is a playful, collaborative, social skills intervention for children with autism and related conditions. The cooperative nature of this approach provides opportunities for children to develop and practice skills in turn-taking, listening, sharing ideas, communication, compromise, problem solving and shared attention. Children take on various roles within Lego Club with each role requiring a different set of social skills. Roles are rotated throughout the therapy block so that every child gets to try each role – this helps stimulate different aspects within the child.
The different roles in Lego Club are:• Engineer/Architect: Oversees the design and ensures the instructions are followed.• Builder: Puts the bricks together.• Supplier: Keeps track of which size, shape and colour bricks are needed and passes them to the builder.• Director (OT): ensures the team is working together and communicating well.
