Charlie is doing a great job expanding his language skills in speech therapy! Miss Amanda is using the Expanding Expression Tool (EET) to increase verbal description. This multi-sensory tool utilizes symbols to help children provide multiple details about a given picture. It can also be used to facilitate categorization, making associations, stating the function of objects, and describing similarities and differences.

Children’s Therapy Connection is now forming LEGO® Skill Builder Clubs!

1. Who is LEGO® Club for? Children with social anxiety conditions, Autism spectrum disorders, or communication difficulties. From Asperger’s Syndrome to speech delays ages 8-12.

2. How does it work? Children work together in specified roles to accomplish a build.

Three roles:
1. Engineer: Reads instructions and gives directions to others.
2. Parts Suppliers: Sorts through and finds right bricks for the builder
3. Builder: Puts the bricks together according to the directions.

3. What are the benefits to LEGO® Therapy?

Some of the skills worked on during LEGO® Club include:

*Collaboration – Children work as a group to achieve a common goal.
*Joint problem solving, sharing and turn-taking – Taking turns in different roles, dividing up the tasks, and working on the build together.
*Maintaining attention – Children need to remain focused on the task to build the models.
*Verbal and non-verbal communication – Using language and non-verbal skills (such as eye contact) to express ideas and feelings.
*Conflict resolution – Working through differences for a shared aim.
*Creativity – In coming up with a group name, building the models and free playtime.
*Fine motor skills – For manipulating the LEGO® blocks.
*Concepts – Children get to learn about colors, numbers, categories, describing and more.

July 22nd is National Fragile X Awareness Day! Fragile X is a genetic condition that can cause delays in the areas of learning, language, and social skills, as well as some physical feature differences. Children with Fragile X may have some level of intellectual disability, and many have a co-morbid diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Children with Fragile X can often benefit from speech, occupational, and physical therapies. We are proud to play a role in connecting all children with their potential!

Visit fragilex.org/ to learn more about this diagnosis.
