AUTISM: Cultivating Healthy Relationships Through Play

Description

Parents are tired and overwhelmed, especially parents with children who have special needs, such as autism.

In this course we will help you let go of the push and pull to try to get your child to meet your goals and help you discover how to reach your goals through play, for young and old, more naturally.

Most therapeutic approaches don't model neurotypical play, therefore our kids don't have the opportunity to learn things like theory of mind, initiating interaction, and good 'ole Parallel Play or Cooperative Play skills!

This is a quick introductory guide to help you or your team members get started through our short and fun videos!

We recommend taking a couple days in between each section to practice what you learn.

Let's bring natural back to the therapy experience!
