Behaviour Support Through Stronger Connection with LEGO®
LEGO® is increasingly used as a therapeutic and developmental tool to support individuals in building emotional regulation, social skills, and positive behaviour. LEGO®-based therapy offers a structured, engaging, and hands-on approach that is particularly effective for individuals with neurodiverse needs.
This evidence-informed approach is designed to:
Embrace and support neurodiversity by celebrating each individual’s strengths through tailored, inclusive activities
Promote a person-centred and holistic focus on emotional, social, and cognitive growth
Address individualised social and communication goals, adapting to each participant’s unique needs
Foster collaboration and meaningful interaction through shared LEGO® building tasks that encourage teamwork and problem-solving
Enhance fine motor skills and coordination through practical, hands-on construction tasks
Provide a predictable and supportive environment that reduces anxiety and enhances comfort, learning, and personal development
By combining creativity, structure, and play, LEGO®-based therapy helps individuals build confidence, strengthen relationships, and develop essential life skills in a fun and engaging way.
Building Motivation
Children’s unique interests are a powerful catalyst for learning and personal growth. LEGO®-based activities tap into this intrinsic motivation by offering opportunities for mastery, skill development, and social connection. The engaging nature of LEGO® play fosters enjoyment while promoting meaningful progress, making it an ideal tool for encouraging both learning and positive change.
Emotional Regulation
Our approach fosters a safe and supportive space where learners are encouraged to express their emotions openly, promoting greater self-awareness and understanding of others. This emotional openness creates meaningful opportunities for reflection, helping individuals process their experiences, recognise personal strengths and challenges, and develop internal self-regulation. As coping skills improve, learners become better equipped to monitor their progress, learn from setbacks, and navigate emotional experiences with increased resilience.
Skill Building
LEGO® therapy places a strong emphasis on social communication and collaboration, fostering reciprocal relationships through joint attention, shared goals, and effective conflict resolution. Within this structured play environment, learners build critical skills such as problem-solving, self-regulation, and social adaptability, while also strengthening their ability to manage tasks, time, and priorities with confidence and efficiency. .
Social Communication Competenance
LEGO® Transformative Play encourages greater self-initiated social interaction and sustained engagement in social activities. By reducing stereotyped behaviours, this approach promotes adaptive socialisation and imaginative play, fostering deeper, more meaningful connections with others.
