Building Communication through Lego
Based Intervention
This project started off as an SQE Project which involved 6
SLT's working within Children's ASD service and their entire
SLT caseload of approximately 200 children and their parents/
carers.
Aim
To reduce waiting times for speech and language intervention within the Autism Service by 50%
within 12 months through the introduction of Lego Based group model of intervention.
The team agreed that individual therapy was not meeting the social communication
needs of our ASD caseload and therefore looked at evidence based practice and
brainstormed new intervention ideas. A new model of delivery was developed based on
group intervention, utilising Lego, a known high interest activity for children on the autism
spectrum.
The next step is to develop a Lego based Intervention using a remote platform
such as Zoom.
