PLAY Project can begin right away to affect emotional development and social interaction skills during critical windows of development.

Children gain important skills and can have the ability to do better in school and be more emotionally secure.

PLAY Project can positively change the trajectory for children with autism with benefits that last a lifetime.

PLAY is conducted in a child’s natural environment, which is proven to be where young children learn best – the place where they are most familiar, with the people they know and love, doing activities that are meaningful for them and their family.

The PLAY Project helps parents and children connect, strengthening their relationship.

When parents and children are connected and engaged, the PLAY interventions are fun! Designed to create bonds, families share joy and smiles.
I can give a clear example of my two children – one who got early intervention and one did not. There’s a clear distinction. I very firmly believe the PLAY Project helped my youngest get to where he is now.
