Feb 18, 2022Ep. 52- When and how to model play skills for kids
Teaching play skills to children with Autism is typically included in many early intervention plans. However, there has been little explanation on how to select the targets. Some people use peers as comparisons, and some use specific assessments. These authors compare the two methods and make suggestions for clinical behavior in the future.
Note- Always ensure you follow the clients lead and preference when teach play skills. Teaching play skills should never be used as stem suppression, masking, or any other attempt to "normalize" an individual.
