This complete guide to LEGO® Therapy contains everything you need to know in order to set up and run a LEGO® Club for children with autism spectrum disorders or related social communication difficulties and anxiety conditions.
By providing a joint interest and goal; LEGO® building can become a medium for social development such as sharing; turn-taking; making eye-contact; and following social rules. This book outlines the theory and research base of the approach and gives advice on all practical considerations including space; the physical layout of the room and choosing and maintaining materials; as well as strategies for managing behaviour; further skill development; and how to assess progress.
Written by the pioneer of the approach alongside those who helped form it through their research and evaluation; this evidence-based manual is essential reading for professionals working with autism who are interested in running a LEGO® Club or learning more about the therapy.
