Building blocks for better social skills: LEGO therapy put to the test in autism

This study tests whether LEGO®-Based Play Therapy can help children with autism spectrum disorder improve their social and play skills. Children aged 6 to 12 will participate in weekly group sessions for 12 weeks, working together to build LEGO models while taking on roles like Engineer, Supplier, and Builder. The goal is to see if this structured play can encourage cooperation, communication, and problem-solving. Researchers will measure changes in social and play skills before and after the therapy to evaluate its potential as a supportive intervention.
