LEGO®-based interventions are an evidence-informed, innovative, safe, transformative, predictable, and low-cost therapeutic tool and approach that uses the beloved building blocks to facilitate communication, social interaction, and emotional expression. These approaches can be especially helpful when working with children and adolescents who have experienced adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), prenatal and early childhood trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, neurodevelopmental conditions, and attachment issues.
This 2-hour webinar introduces the core principles of LEGO®-based therapy and ways to combine this approach with trauma-informed care practices. Participants learn how this information can be used in a collaborative, individualized, and/or group format through building tasks that target communication, problem-solving, regulation, and peer interaction among children with histories of trauma. As they construct, children and adolescents impacted by trauma often reveal feelings and thoughts, making it easier for therapists, coaches, teachers, and other support providers to identify underlying issues and allow for targeted interventions that can promote long-term health and growth. Furthermore, the collaborative aspect of this approach fosters teamwork that teaches essential social skills, such as negotiation, communication, and empathy. Integrating LEGO® therapy with trauma-informed care offers a powerful, hands-on, and safe therapeutic tool for emotional regulation, expression, and healing.
