Legos Spur Creative Thinking in Children with Autism, Study Shows


Legos may be an important learning tool for children with autism. University of Rochester Medical Center researchers discovered that the use of legos may be vital in helping children with autism tap into their ability to think creatively.
Children with autism often experience difficulty in formulating creative ideas, often hampering their ability to be successful. Frustration and uncomfortable feelings often accompany the inability to be creative. With this study, researchers took a step forward as all six children were effectively taught to play with legos more creatively.
