The Brick by Brick Programme (Brick Club) is facilitated by registered psychologist Sarah Buckland and is ideal for children who have been diagnosed with autism or children who may have social communication difficulties.

Through facilitated therapeutic play effective social communication skills are learnt, resulting in more social confidence and less overwhelm.


During each session cchildren work together in teams of 3 to build Lego models. The building tasks are divided into interdependent roles. Each person in the team will need to participate in interaction and verbal and non-verbal communication with their teammates to successfully complete their model.


Of course, it's not all work - at the end of each session, your child will have the opportunity to engage in free play and make their own creation.


Our numbers are kept small, but the programme needs at least 3 participants to proceed.  The length of the class will depend on how many children are registered,
