This leads to difficulties with developing pretend play skills. This puts children with ASD at a disadvantage, considering that pretend play serves an important role in childhood development. Pretend play skills help teach children to problem solve, to understand emotions, how to interact with peers, as well as how to understand a variety of life events. This presentation will provide an overview of assessment tools that can be utilized to assess play skills. Furthermore, effective research-based interventions will be reviewed for teaching play skills the ABA way!
