Abstract:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Grade 1 involves significant challenges in social communication and pragmatics. Lego Therapy (LEGO®-based therapy) emerges as a naturalistic intervention that capitalizes on the capacity for systematization to promote cooperative interaction. This work evaluates the effectiveness of the Brick-by-Brick® program in a sample of eleven AsperCamp participants, distributed in 4 groups according to age. Using an ad-hoc observation scale, five social skills have been analyzed. The results indicate a statistically significant improvement, it is concluded that the effectiveness of the program is linked to the life cycle.
