Brick by Brick comes to Australia supported by Play Included and Learning Links

LEGO Foundation partner, Play Included, is bringing its internationally acclaimed Brick-by-Brick® program to Australia. 

Sydney-based not-for-profit organisation Learning Links is the official training partner of Play Included and will be the first to offer the Brick-by-Brick® program training to allied health professionals in Australia.

Learning Links has over 50 years of experience providing multidisciplinary support for children with learning difficulties and disabilities. Educational and Developmental Psychologist and Psychology Manager at Learning Links Michelle Button said the team was “so thrilled” to have the opportunity to share its knowledge and train other education and allied health providers to deliver the program so that many more children can benefit.

The Brick-by-Brick® program, endorsed by the LEGO Foundation, is a clinically devised, child-led approach that is based on the latest research in neurodiversity and learning through play. Designed in conjunction with autism consultants, Play Included’s Brick-by-Brick® program offers neurodivergent children positive, meaningful social experiences in a playful and accepting environment. 

Through collaborative LEGO play sessions, children have fun, make friends, and develop their communication skills, confidence, and social and emotional wellbeing.

“At Learning Links, we’ve seen the positive impact of the Brick-by-Brick® program on children’s social skill development and emotional wellbeing for many years now,” Ms Button said.
