A note from Dr. Solomon
Hello and welcome to The P.L.A.Y. Project® website. My name is Rick Solomon and I am the Medical Director of The P.L.A.Y. Project and of the Ann Arbor Center for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. For more than 20 years, as a developmental and behavioral pediatrician, I have been working with parents, agencies and communities to help young children with autism reach their full potential.
I am very excited to announce that we have received a $1.85 million grant from the National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH) that will fund a randomized, controlled study of our model. We are now another step closer to our goal of addressing the national need for play-based intensive autism services. You can read more about this exciting news here.
The P.L.A.Y. Project believes that young children with autism and their parents should have a close and interactive relationship. It is heart breaking for me to see children with autism who cannot relate well to their parents. It is the most rewarding experience to help parents connect with their child and to see them have fun together.
So get on board, and enjoy your ride through The P.L.A.Y. Project website!
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Rick
