The colourful building toy Lego has been used by therapists for nearly 20 years as a treatment tool for children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.
It started when neuropsychologist Daniel LeGoff noticed how normally introverted children with autism would interact and socialise with peers while playing with Lego.
