Uniquely designed by Speech Pathologists AND Occupational Therapists, our Construction Club Groups use collaborative activities to support the development of critical skills. Using LEGO® based therapy, children are grouped into teams to work cooperatively to complete LEGO® and construction projects. Each child has the opportunity to work in different roles and practice skills, such as listening, turn-taking, negotiation, sharing, problem-solving and working together.
The group will target skills including:
- Using LEGO® and construction materials as a medium to communicate and build relationships
- Promote social interaction & cooperation
- Promote collaborative play in a supported environment
- Practice following and giving directions, negotiation and compromise
- Foster collaborative problem-solving
- Encourage teamwork, flexible thinking and working towards a shared goal
