We absolutely love hearing how our training supports facilitators to take what they learn and make it work within their own professional practice. 💙

This wonderful feedback comes from Janine, who completed our LEGO® Based Therapy Facilitator Certification:

“Guys – this is the most valuable training that I have done. The foundation is excellent and leaves room to expand using my creativity which is always fun!”

That balance is so important to us. Our training provides a strong foundation in the LEGO® Based Therapy approach, while giving facilitators the knowledge, understanding and flexibility to apply it creatively with the people they support.

Thank you, Janine, for sharing your experience - and for being part of our growing community of trained facilitators. 🧱✨

Happy Monday! 🧱✨

A new week brings a fresh opportunity to build, learn and grow.

At Progressive Play®, we believe meaningful progress is often built through the small things - a new skill, a different way of thinking, a great conversation, a creative idea or simply taking that next step.

🧱 Build skills - one brick at a time.

🤝 Work together - stronger connections,
better outcomes.

💡 Think bigger - creative solutions and
new possibilities.

💙 Stay positive - the way we approach
something can make a difference.

⭐ Take action - small steps today can
lead to big change tomorrow.

Whatever you’re building towards this week, keep going. Progress doesn’t have to happen all at once.

Here’s to an amazing week of learning, connection, creativity and growth. 💙🩵💜

Happy Monday from Progressive Play®!

💛 Today is R U OK? Day.

We cross paths with people every day without always knowing what they might be carrying behind the smile, the busy day, or the simple words, “I’m fine.”

Sometimes there are signs that someone isn’t quite themselves. Sometimes there aren’t.

That’s why checking in matters.

You don’t need the perfect words. You don’t need to have all the answers. And you don’t need to fix what someone is going through.

Sometimes, simply knowing that someone has noticed, someone cares and someone is willing to listen can mean more than we realise.

💛 Ask R U OK? Start the conversation. Be genuine. Let them know you’re thinking of them.

👂 Listen - Give them your full attention. Listen without judgement and without rushing to find a solution.

🤝 Encourage action - Ask what might help and support them to take the next step if they need it.

🔄 Check in - Reach out again. A message, a phone call or another conversation can remind someone that they haven’t been forgotten.

And if they’re not ready to talk today, let them know you’re still there.

Because sometimes a simple “R U OK?” can open the door to a conversation someone needed more than you knew.

💛 Ask today. Ask any day.

🧱 IMPORTANT NDIS CLARIFICATION: LEGO® Based Therapy can still be funded.

We’ve received lots of enquiries following the recent NDIS wording mentioning “Lego therapy”, so we want to clear up some of the confusion about what this actually means.

The new wording does NOT mean LEGO® Based Therapy can no longer be funded through the NDIS.

The important distinction is between a generic LEGO® social/community activity being described as “therapy” and an appropriately delivered, evidence-informed therapeutic intervention targeting an individual participant’s disability-related needs, NDIS goals and functional outcomes.

For a service to be delivered and claimed specifically as an NDIS therapy support, the professional delivering it must meet the relevant qualification, professional registration or accreditation requirements.

Depending on the profession, this may mean AHPRA registration or accreditation through the relevant professional/peak body.

And this is also why appropriate training in the LEGO® Based Therapy methodology matters.

Simply using LEGO® bricks in a session is not the same as understanding and appropriately implementing LEGO® Based Therapy.

Professionals need to understand the methodology, its evidence base, how to individualise the intervention, how to work towards meaningful functional outcomes, and how to practise within their own professional qualifications, competence and scope.

For professionals practising in Australia, training with an Australian training provider also provides important context around the Australian health, disability and education landscape — including the NDIS environment in which supports are delivered. 🇦🇺

So, to answer the question we’ve been receiving:

YES - LEGO® Based Therapy can still be NDIS funded when the intervention and provider meet the applicable NDIS therapy-support and funding requirements.

The bricks are the tool. 🧱

The methodology, professional competence, therapeutic purpose and meaningful outcomes are what matter.

Please share this post with families, colleagues and professionals who may be unsure about what the updated wording means. 💙

NDIS funding decisions are individualised and subject to the participant’s plan and applicable NDIS funding criteria.

Different minds build a brighter world. 💜

At Progressive Play®, inclusion isn’t simply something we talk about. It influences how we develop our training, how we support professionals, and how we think about creating meaningful and lasting change.

Neurodiversity-affirming practice begins with recognising that there is no single “right” way to think, communicate, connect, learn or participate.

That means moving beyond expecting people to adapt to environments that weren’t designed with them in mind, and instead building the skills, knowledge and confidence needed to create environments where differences are understood, respected and supported.

We believe real change happens when:

🌱 evidence and innovation become practical strategies.

💜 understanding leads to greater acceptance.

🌏 inclusive practice becomes part of everyday environments.

✨ knowledge is shared in ways that create sustainable change.

Our work is ultimately about building capability - empowering professionals with practical skills they can take back into their workplaces, services and communities.

Because when knowledge becomes practice, practice can change environments.

And when environments change, more people have genuine opportunities to participate, connect and belong.

Practical training. Real change. Brighter futures.

Being unregistered does not mean being unaccountable.

The NDIS Code of Conduct applies to both registered and unregistered providers delivering NDIS-funded supports and services.

There is one responsibility I have spoken about before that is worth reiterating:

Providers are responsible for ensuring that they and/or their workers have the necessary training, competence and qualifications to deliver the supports and services they provide.

This matters.

If you advertise and charge NDIS participants for a specialised service, have you ensured that the person delivering it is appropriately trained and competent to provide it?

LEGO® Based Therapy is one example.

Using LEGO® bricks in a session is not the same as being trained in the LEGO® Based Therapy methodology. Specialised practice requires an understanding of the methodology, its evidence base, appropriate implementation, facilitation principles and the boundaries of your own competence.

As professionals working with children, young people and people with disability, we should be setting the standard higher than simply asking:

“Can I offer this?”

We should be asking:

“Do I have the appropriate training and competence to offer this well?”

At Progressive Play®, we will continue to advocate for quality training, evidence-informed practice and professionals who understand the services they are delivering.

Because ultimately, this isn’t about ticking a compliance box.

It’s about the quality and safety of the support received by the participant.

Know the service.
Get appropriately trained.
Deliver it competently.

5 mistakes I see new LEGO® Based Therapy facilitators make 🧱

Becoming a facilitator is just the beginning. Once you start working with groups, it quickly becomes clear that LEGO® Based Therapy is about much more than simply building with bricks.

Here are five common mistakes to watch for:

1️⃣ Focusing too much on the final build

It’s not about creating the “best” model. The real value is often in the communication, collaboration, problem-solving and interaction happening along the way.

2️⃣ Not being intentional with group dynamics

Roles, routines, group composition and structure matter. Thoughtful facilitation helps create opportunities for everyone to participate meaningfully.

3️⃣ Overlooking neurodiversity

One size doesn’t fit all. Language, expectations, communication styles, sensory needs and the environment may all need to be adapted to the people in front of you.

4️⃣ Not planning beyond the session

Consider how the skills practised within the group can connect with everyday situations at home, school and in the community.

5️⃣ Talking too much

It can be tempting to explain, prompt, question or solve problems for participants. Sometimes good facilitation means stepping back, allowing silence and giving participants the time and space to communicate and problem-solve together.

💡 Great facilitation isn’t about controlling every moment.

It’s about creating an environment where participants have opportunities to build, communicate, problem-solve, connect and belong.

Which one do you think new facilitators find the hardest?

Forecast: 100% chance of BIG ideas. 🌈☀️

Sometimes, all it takes is a handful of bricks and permission to think differently.

Building through play can open up new ways to communicate, explore ideas, solve problems, connect with others and express things that can be difficult to put into words.

Whether it’s in therapy, education, the workplace or simply around the kitchen table - big ideas can start with something surprisingly small. 🧱

At Progressive Play®, we’re pretty big believers in the possibilities that happen when people are given the space to build, create and explore.

So, what’s in your forecast today? 💭

💡 FACILITATOR TIP FRIDAY | The Power of Truly Listening

Sometimes, one of the most powerful things we can offer another person isn’t advice, a solution or an answer - it’s our full attention.

As facilitators, educators, therapists and helping professionals, it can be easy to focus on what we’re going to say next. But meaningful connection often happens when we slow down, stay curious and genuinely listen to what the other person is communicating.

And listening goes beyond words. 💙

It can mean noticing body language, allowing time to process, becoming comfortable with silence, acknowledging what has been shared and resisting the urge to immediately “fix” things.

When people feel genuinely heard, they are more likely to feel safe enough to explore their thoughts, express what matters to them and make their own meaning.

Sometimes the most valuable thing we can do is simply create the space and listen.

At Progressive Play®, we believe great facilitation isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about creating the conditions for connection, reflection and discovery.

🧱 10 Benefits of LEGO® Based Therapy

LEGO® Based Therapy is about so much more than building with bricks.

At its core, it is a structured, strengths-based modality that creates meaningful opportunities for children and young people to communicate, collaborate, problem-solve, negotiate, connect and experience success.

And the benefits don’t exist in isolation. Communication supports collaboration. Collaboration encourages problem-solving. Problem-solving develops flexible thinking. Positive participation can support confidence, connection and emotional wellbeing.

Importantly, the bricks are the tool - not the therapy. It’s the methodology, skilled facilitation and purposeful interaction that bring the approach to life.

Progressive Play® is a long-established Australian provider in the LEGO® Based Therapy field, founded and led by a Registered Nurse and Clinical Nurse Educator with more than 20 years’ experience across mental health and wellbeing.

That clinical and educational experience underpins our commitment to an evidence-informed, contemporary and neuroaffirming approach to LEGO® Based Therapy.

We continually review the research and evolve our practice as evidence, professional knowledge and our understanding of neurodiversity develop.

Because good practice should never stand still.

🧱 Experience matters. Evidence matters. How we facilitate matters.
