This will complement our existing list of therapies for children and young people which include: art, drama, play, and talk therapy.
What is Lego Therapy?
Lego-based Therapy was developed in the mid-1990s by US pediatric neuropsychologist Daniel LeGoff. It is a small group based therapy and is particularly effective for children with Neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism & ADHD or children who may need support with their emotional and social well being for a wide range of reasons, (anxiety, attachment difficulties or adverse life experiences).
How does it work?
A Brick-by-Brick® Facilitator will be delivering individual, one to one sessions, which will run for 12 weeks at a time. Initially we will be working with 6 – 8 year olds but can open the age range up to older children upon request.
