The PLAY Project
The PLAY (Play and Language for Autistic Youngsters) Project is an evidenced-based, parent-mediated autism intervention model.
PLAY is an early intervention program for children ages 15 months to 6 years of age, that can improve social interaction, communication and functional development in children with autism.
Parents and their Certified PLAY Project Consultant become partners in their child’s progress. Parents receive individualized training, coaching and support based on their needs and the needs of their child with autism that empowers them to have a closer, more satisfying relationship.
