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!

Who this course is for:

  • Parents and professionals who want to learn more about play therapy for autism and related challenges
  • Parents and professionals who are new to a Natural Play Therapy Program
  • Family members of people with special needs who want to understand how to relate
  • People who want to connect more deeply with their loved one, in a more natural way
  • Those who wish to add more play to their lives, relationships, and therapeutic approaches
