LEGO® Therapy FAQs – NeuroKind London
What is LEGO® Therapy and how does it help children?
LEGO® Therapy is a structured social skills intervention where children work together to build LEGO® models while taking on specific communication roles. It helps children develop social communication skills, turn-taking, teamwork, emotional regulation, and problem-solving in a fun and supportive environment.
Is LEGO® Therapy good for autistic children?
Yes. LEGO® Therapy is widely used to support autistic children with social communication, collaboration, and friendship skills. It provides a predictable structure, clear roles, and guided interaction, which many autistic children find reassuring and motivating.
Does my child need an autism diagnosis to attend LEGO® Therapy?
No formal diagnosis is required. LEGO® Therapy can support children with autism, ADHD, social communication difficulties, anxiety, or children who find making and keeping friends challenging.
What happens in a LEGO® Therapy session?
In each session, children work in a small group and take on rotating roles such as Engineer, Builder, and Supplier. They must communicate clearly, listen carefully, and cooperate to complete the build successfully. A trained facilitator supports social interaction and emotional regulation throughout.

LEGO® Therapy is typically suitable for primary-aged children (around 5–11 years), although groups may be adapted depending on developmental stage and individual needs.

LEGO® Therapy improves social skills by creating structured opportunities for:
Turn-taking
Sharing and negotiation
Listening and following instructions
Managing frustration
Flexible thinking
Problem-solving
These skills transfer into school, home, and peer relationships.
