LEGO Program at Napanee Library.

Autism LEGO – Little Builder program hosted by Lennox & Addington Libraries, in partnership with Autism Ontario – Kingston Chapter was a success this past November 2019.

During our 4 – week program our friends learned to build:

  • Cars;
  • Dogs;
  • Airplanes. (Arguably the most difficult 😉)

Our friends shared three “jobs” working together and learning to be a good friend.

“JOBS:”

  1. The “Engineer” – This person in charge of the instructions or plans whom tells us which pieces we need.
  2. The “Collector” – This person searches for pieces the engineer asks for and hands these pieces to the builder.

3. The “Builder” – This person put these pieces together where the engineer tells them.

After masterpieces were created – Our friends put them to action!

Ending our sessions with imaginative play, creating something alone or with a new friend.

Lots of fun over the last 4-weeks.

It takes a village to raise a child. It takes a child with autism to raise the consciousness of the village.
