Building friendships through collaborative LEGO® play
The Brick-by-Brick® programme represents the world’s leading, evidence-based resource in LEGO® based therapy, created by a team of child development experts at Play Included.
Working in partnership with The LEGO Foundation, the programme supports autistic and neurodivergent children with social and emotional development and communication.
With a strong focus on neurodiversity and learning through play, the Brick-by-Brick® programme focuses on building on a child’s strengths and supporting skill development in a playful and enjoyable way.
“Brick Club is an amazing programme that allows your child to develop skills in a small group and then take those skills with them into their everyday life.” Alison, parent
Brick Club
For children, the Brick-by-Brick® programme is known as ‘Brick Club’.
One of the best things about Brick Club is that children enjoy attending. It’s motivating and fun to build LEGO® models and freestyle creations as a team. Being in a relaxed, accepting and low-anxiety space means it’s easier to play together with others: collaborating, sharing ideas, communicating and problem-solving. Everybody is welcome in Brick Club.
“When you make friends at Brick Club you know them for the rest of your life.” Thomas, age 10, Brick Club Expert
