About The P.L.A.Y. Project
Created by Richard Solomon MD and based on the DIR® (Developmental, Individualized, Relationship-based) theory of Stanley Greenspan MD, our program emphasizes the importance of helping parents become their child’s best P.L.A.Y. partner.
The P.L.A.Y. Project has four key components:
The P.L.A.Y. Project follows The National Academy of Sciences recommendations for the education of young children with autistic spectrum disorders. Parents and professionals should:
- Begin interventions early (18 months to 5 years)
- Use intensive intervention 25 hours per week
- Have a teacher/play partner to child ratio of 1:1 or 1:2
- Use interventions that are engaging and
- Have a strategic direction (e.g. social skills, language, etc.)
