“Play is the work of childhood”
Jean Piaget
Louise is building a substantial LEGO collection and has been building models with children for over 30 years. Through free play and structured builds, children are encouraged to think critically, set goals, follow instructions, problem-solve and collaborate with the therapist (or in the case of group work, the whole team.)
If you feel your child would benefit from integrating LEGO based therapy into their counselling sessions please contact me to book a time.
