The PLAY Project's Two-Day Teaching PLAY Intensive Workshop

The PLAY Project, founded by Dr. Rick, envisions a world where all children with autism receive early intervention services and parents choose the best treatments for their child.

Teaching PLAY is an educator-training program that focuses on the core principles of PLAY Project’s evidence-based, developmentally-appropriate, relationship-oriented, child-centered approach.

Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are often hard to engage in the classroom setting, which can make learning difficult for them. Teaching PLAY introduces teachers and school staff to an innovative approach for helping students with ASD increase engagement and connection, leading to a love of learning for all students.

Our Teaching PLAY Workshop is both engaging and interactive. The workshop provides several videos to demonstrate the impact of Teaching PLAY and practical examples of how Teaching PLAY can be used throughout all activities within the classroom setting. Attendees will leave this training with strategies to implement right away.

• Explain how improving a child’s functional emotional development supports academic readiness
• Profile a student with ASD or developmental delay in the classroom according to their Comfort Zone, Sensory Motor Profile, and Functional Developmental Levels
• List examples of the the interactional process in both structured and unstructured settings
• List and describe the importance of the principles and methods of the PLAY Project
• List and briefly describe the 6 Functional Developmental Levels (FDL) of Greenspan and Weider’s DIR model

Certificates of attendance for the Two-Day Teaching PLAY Intensive Workshop will be issued to participants who attend the full 2 days of the workshop and complete all post course requirements.
