Research:

We used the book Lego-Based Therapy (pictured left) as the foundation for creating our Building Bonds Lego Club.

Group Cohesion & Identity:

Through a shared focus on a common goal, the Building Bonds Lego Club naturally fosters communication and social connections. As children collaborate, they engage in meaningful opportunities to practice social skills, including communication, support, problem-solving, and conflict resolution. This all takes place within the context of a fun, hands-on activity that is enjoyed by both neurotypical and neurodivergent children alike, creating an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.

Targeted Social Communication Skills:

Self-Monitoring & Self-Control
Joint Attention
Listening to Directions
Expressing Interest in the Point of View & Interests of Peers
Resolving Conflicts with Mutual Benefit
Expressing Ideas to Peers
Providing Positive Feedback
Accepting Criticism & Feedback from Peers
