This is a clinically proven effective treatment for from 4-12 to learn social skills, while enjoying a geration long love for building with LEGOs. This is a clinical and effective program to learn real skills, directed by a therapist to learn social skills and social interaction. LEGOs are the medium and vehicle to teach these skills, as this is NOT a play only program. This program is great for anyone that has poor social skills or that is socially isolated.
