Autism and Play Therapy
Autism does not refer to one single experience; it covers a broad range of neurodevelopmental differences, affecting relationships, behaviors, emotional experience, and the client’s experience in the world. For this reason, being a Play Therapist with clients experiencing autism is not a “paint by numbers” or “one shoe fits all” approach, instead it is best done as a customized approach tailored to the client in front of you and their support systems.
In this training we explore both directive and non-directive play therapy approaches as evidence based, neuroaffirmative approaches to play therapy with clients experiencing autism. The aim of this training is not to tell you exactly what to do in your play room, but to instead help you find your authentic voice as a play therapist as you navigate through a neurodiverse play room and world.
