Show Notes

We've been hearing a lot more about play-based learning in the last few years. But, how does that work for our young autistic children who require structure in the classroom? In today's episode, we are going to explore combining structure and predictable routines with play-based learning for young autistic children!

Topics Discussed:

  • What the stages of play are

  • How to provide structure and still have play-based learning

  • Why it's important to observe the child's play

  • How to expand play

  • Using visual supports during play

  • Resources and recommendations for play
