Summary

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.

What this could lead to
If effective, this therapy could offer a fun, structured way to help children with autism build social and play skills, potentially improving their daily interactions and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small study, and results may not apply to all children with autism. The therapy's success depends on consistent participation and may not work for everyone.
