Lego Club will meet on Sat, May 13th
LEGOS® with Friends is a new program which encourages children ages 5-12 years an opportunity to interact with each other through collaborative play with construction toys; materials which are often highly motivating to children with autism and related conditions. Children are motivated to participate in the group intervention because they are interested in building, and therefore they are more willing to work together as a group. The shared focus on building enables children to learn and practice social skills within a social environment they feel comfortable in. Siblings are encouraged to attend. Space is limited. First come, first served. Cost is $5 per family.
AGES 9-12
