LEGO® Therapy in Halifax | Thrive Therapy

Build Social Skills Through Play-Based Therapy

At Thrive Therapy, we offer LEGO® Therapy—a structured, evidence-based group program designed for children aged 5 to 12. This innovative approach uses collaborative LEGO® building to enhance social communication, emotional regulation, and teamwork in a fun and supportive environment

What is LEGO® Therapy: 

LEGO® Therapy is a play-based intervention for children that supports the development of:

  • Social interaction and communication skills

  • Fine motor coordination and creativity

  • Problem-solving and perseverance

  • Emotional regulation and teamwork

 

Each session involves small groups of 3–4 children working together to build a shared LEGO® project. Participants rotate through specific roles:

  • Engineer: Reads and describes the instructions

  • Supplier: Finds and delivers the necessary bricks

  • Builder: Assembles the model based on guidance

 

This collaborative model encourages turn-taking, active listening, negotiation, and conflict resolution, fostering essential social skills in a naturalistic setting.

​

Program Details:

  • Age Range: 5–12 years

  • Group Size: 3–4 children per group

  • Duration: 6-week sessions

  • Schedule: After school or Saturday mornings

  • Location: Thrive Therapy, Halifax, Nova Scotia

 

Children are grouped by age and developmental level to ensure a supportive and engaging experience.
