LEGO® Skill Builder™ Clubs

Calling all Master Builders! Children’s Therapy Connection is now forming LEGO® Skill Builder Clubs for children with social anxiety conditions, Autism spectrum disorders, or communication difficulties. From Asperger’s Syndrome to speech delays, LEGO® building can be a valuable component to any therapy program. CTC takes it to the next level with our Skill Builder™ Clubs, providing school-aged peer groups a platform to share their individual strengths while addressing social skill-building strategies such as using greetings, turn-taking, making eye contact, nonverbal communication, and following social rules. Our Skill Builder™ Clubs are based on evidence-based neuropsychological research involving analyzing patterns, predictability, and understanding how things work and utilizing those skills in a social context to make learning fun, playing to a child’s strengths, not their disabilities. For additional details please contact our office at (317) 288-7606.
