Brick STEM Programs

Building Connection, Confidence and Future Skills

At Solongo, we recognise that children have different strengths, interests, communication styles and individual learning perspectives. 

An interest in building and technology may provide a pathway into social connection, mainstream STEM learning or personalised strengths development. Our brick, stem and technology programs are designed around these different needs.

Child-centred programs combining professional support, hands-on learning and future-focused opportunities.

    Activities have clear goals while allowing individual adjustment.

  • Social and Future-Focused

    Programs support both human connection and future capability.

  • Clear Pathways

    Children can move between one-to-one learning, Brick-Based Therapy and group STEM programs as their readiness changes.

For families

What Will Parents Learn?

Parents receive meaningful, strengths-based information rather than a simple statement that their child "completed the activity".

  • Communication attempts
  • Peer participation
  • Planning and task-following
  • Regulation and recovery
  • Strengths and technology interests
"Today, your child participated in the Supplier role and responded to two requests from peers with visual support. When the motor did not move, they used a short break and then returned to help check the connection. They showed a strong interest in how the sensor and motor worked together."
Example format only — not a participant testimonial.
