As an educator, you want to connect with every student—but children with autism often need a different approach. The good news? It starts with PLAY.

Join us on August 15 for our 1-Day Teaching PLAY Workshop, designed specifically for teachers, paraprofessionals, and school staff. This online training introduces a developmental, relationship-based approach that turns everyday classroom interactions into opportunities for connection and learning.

Watch this quick video to learn why Teaching PLAY is SO important!
In just one day, you’ll walk away with:
✔️ Easy-to-apply strategies you can use right away
✔️ A better understanding of the social-emotional needs of children with autism
✔️ Tools to support regulation, engagement, and communication
✔️ Confidence to foster meaningful progress in your students
