LEGO therapy and the social use of language programme : an evaluation of two social skills interventions for children with high functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome . LEGO therapy and the Social Use of Language Programme ( SULP ) were evaluated as social skills interventions for 6-11 year olds with high functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome . Children were matched on CA , IQ , and autistic symptoms before being randomly assigned to LEGO or SULP . Therapy occurred for 1 h/week over 18 weeks . A no-intervention control group was also assessed . Results showed that the LEGO therapy group improved more than the other groups on autism-specific social interaction scores ( Gilliam Autism Rating Scale ) . Maladaptive behaviour decreased significantly more in the LEGO and SULP groups compared to the control group . There was a non-significant trend for SULP and LEGO groups to improve more than the no-intervention group in communication and socialisation skills .
