PLAY Project Two-Day Intensive Workshop
Richard Solomon, MD, founder of The PLAY Project, believes every young child with autism should have access to life-changing early intervention, by empowering their parents or caregivers. The PLAY Project strives to create a world where all children with autism receive early intervention services and parents choose the best treatment options for their child.
This professional development opportunity will provide you with an overview of the PLAY Project methods and principles along with case studies to gain immediate skills in helping children with autism. The workshop consists of case studies, video analysis of parent and child interaction, and group activities that develop your skills in play-based, developmental and behavioral techniques for engaging children with autism and other developmental delays.
Who will benefit:
Our intensive workshop will be of interest to child development professionals including mental health professionals, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, social workers, family and pediatric nurse practitioners, clinical psychologists, and child psychiatrists. Our workshop is also open to administrators and policy makers involved with autism services and parents of children with autism. This workshop can serve as a first step in pursuing the Certified PLAY Project Consultant credential.
