𧊠PLAY-BASED THERAPY: MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
Early intervention is key for autistic children, and play-based therapies are making waves.
â
JASPER (Joint Attention, Symbolic Play, Engagement, and Regulation) is a play-based therapy showing great promise in improving communication and social skills. It focuses on engaging children in activities they enjoy while targeting specific developmental goals.
đĄ Research shows that combining JASPER with speech therapies like PROMPT can lead to even better outcomes, especially for minimally verbal children.
đParent involvement is crucial! Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBIs) empower parents to support their child's development in everyday routines.
