AutPlay Therapy

Autplay Therapy is a play and behavioral therapeutic approach to working with children and parents affected by autism, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), dysregulation issues, other neurodevelopmental disorders, and developmental disabilities. It combines the therapeutic approaches of play therapy and behavioral therapy along with relationship development approaches together in a collaborative model to assist children and adolescents in gaining needed skills and abilities.

Goals may include increasing self-awareness, better understanding the diagnosis of ASD, improving relationships with peers and/or family members, increased self-esteem, decreased anxiety or depressive symptoms, increased self-regulation, and much more.
