The PLAY Project is an evidenced-based early intervention autism program created to help parents and caregivers develop a better connection with their child through play and help the child improve his or her language, development, behavior and social skills. ALL children learn best through play in the natural environment of the home. The secret is knowing how to engage the child in a playful way that promotes his or her development.

If your child has an autism diagnosis or if you have concerns that your child may have autism, a PLAY Project Consultant will help educate, guide and support families as they learn to nurture their child’s social and emotional development. Parents and caregivers will learn how to apply the evidence-based PLAY Project principles, methods and techniques during visits while having FUN with their child.

If your family is interested in PLAY Project, please contact your local County Board of Developmental Disabilities to determine if this service is offered in your county.
