Daniel B. LeGoff, the inventor of LEGO®-Based Therapy, has provided
a colourful set of case studies to help teachers and clinicians get
a real feel for how to implement this playful and non-stigmatising
intervention with kids with autism. LEGO®-Based Therapy harnesses
their strong drive to systemise to help them learn how to
socialise. It is also intrinsically rewarding for such kids. As
such, it is a pleasurable experience for both the therapist and the
child.

It honestly didn't feel like I was reading an educational book,
it's written so beautifully that its almost like reading a novel. I
was enthralled with the case studies that give examples of children
taking part in the therapy. Daniel LeGoff has a wonderful way of
re-telling his sessions-that makes you feel like you're there in
his office with him from the moment the child starts their
therapy... I loved that this book was heavily supported by it's
large number of case studies; that form an integral part of the
book. It makes the book relatable and real.
