Why Lego is Good Therapy
03 September 2025
LEGO therapy is proving to be a powerful activity for people living with dementia, bringing both cognitive and emotional benefits. In a Manchester care home, residents became deeply engaged when building with LEGO, with carers describing it as a “reawakening of the senses.” The activity encouraged conversation, boosted creativity, and even triggered memories, while its uplifting effects lasted well beyond the session. By adapting instructions—using larger print or magnifiers—LEGO therapy is made accessible to more participants, helping them enjoy the process, build confidence, and look forward to future sessions
