NCT06641583Completed
Efficacy of LEGO Therapy for Adolescent With Level 1 Autism
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if LEGO therapy can enhance social skills in children aged 10-14 diagnosed with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does LEGO therapy improve social communication and interaction skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder? Do children show behavioral improvements in social skills after participating in LEGO therapy? Researchers will compare children receiving LEGO therapy to a control group (who will not receive LEGO therapy but continue their usual treatments) to see if LEGO therapy leads to greater improvements in social skills. Participants will: Complete behavioral tasks, including a LEGO construction test, at the beginning (T0) and after 3 months (T1). Attend weekly LEGO therapy sessions for 90 minutes, over the course of 3 months (12 sessions). Complete questionnaires about social behaviors, both parents and children, at T0 and T1.
