Description
This comprehensive guide provides everything you need to set up and run a LEGO-based therapy club for children with autism spectrum disorders or related social communication difficulties and anxiety conditions. By focusing on a shared interest in LEGO building, this approach can help develop social skills such as sharing, turn-taking, and following social rules.
The book outlines the theory and research behind the approach, as well as practical advice on setting up the club, including space and material considerations, managing behaviour, and assessing progress. Written by experts in the field, this evidence-based manual is a valuable resource for professionals working with autism who want to learn more about LEGO-based therapy.
