‘The best kind of therapy is when it’s so much fun that the child doesn’t know it’s happening. LEGO^®-Based Therapy fits that bill. The authors have left no stone unturned in developing a systematic social intervention. They provide a comprehensive, step-by-step program with documented improvements in social competence.’

—     Lynn Koegel, PhD, Clinical Director, Koegel Autism Center, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA
