It’s proven! The hands-on (and relatively mess-free) activity of stacking LEGO bricks has therapeutic benefits that can range from reliving stress and improving emotional well-being to helping children develop social communication skills.
LEGO-based therapy has been adopted by neuropsychologists and health professionals to facilitate sessions with people – adults and children – who are on the autism spectrum. Researchers have found that building LEGO can be an exercise in problem solving, planning and social interaction, with transferrable benefits in real-life situations.
