Educator Appraisal
“Lego Based Therapy provides theoretical and practical knowledge on how to run a lego club for pupils with Autism and ASC. I liked that it provides social interaction, encourages creativity and communication. I didn't like that it is resource intensive, that it requires training and the cost of the resources.

Evidence Rating
Lego-Based Therapy was developed by psychologist Dr LeGoff, and multiple studies across various designs suggest that Lego-based play has the potential to be an effective intervention. However, the studies were often conducted in small groups, with limited inclusion of girls, and components of the intervention varied across studies, which had an unknown effect on the outcome.
