PLAY Project

What is the PLAY Project?

The PLAY Project is an evidenced-based, playful, practical, caregiver-implemented program that supports the development of social interactions, communication, play, and preschool-based skills for autistic children.

This program is available for children up to 48 months of age who are at any level of play and development. The PLAY project is developmentally appropriate and fun, with strategies that can be easily incorporated in a family’s daily activities.

Who is eligible?

• Your child is younger than 48 months (4 years) old at time of registration
•  Your family is registered with the Ontario Autism Program
•  You have received a letter of invitation to participate in “Caregiver-Mediated Early Years” (CMEY) programs through AccessOAP
• You have not already participated in, or started to receive, another CMEY program within the same fiscal year (April 1 – March 31) 

What does a session look like?

Your PLAY Consultant will interact with you and your child while modeling various techniques and strategies for you to implement in your everyday interactions. You will also spend time playing with your child so that the PLAY Consultant can provide in-the-moment coaching to support you. Short video clips will be taken during your visit, which will support you to continue to implement these strategies in your everyday routines with your child.
