It may be a few months old, but I've just read that Lego-therapy is being used in London to help children with autism and other learning difficulties.
BBC news have created a video showing how staff at Guy's and St Thomas' hospital have been using lego as therapy. The BBC reported that lego bricks have been used in therapy sessions to help with children who have communication difficulties, and how it helps to develop speech and listening skills.
They state that research shows that children with autism are naturally drawn to lego. It's great to hear that therapists are using different techniques to help those with autism and how simple things, like lego, can make such a difference to these children.
