Home Consulting Program
The P.L.A.Y. Project Home Consultant Program provides training and support for families of young children (18 months to 6 years) with autism right in their home. Trained consultants teach parents techniques that are effective, fun, and useful in day-to-day interactions with their child with autism. By providing training in the home, consultants see the family in an environment where the child feels comfortable, rather than in a setting unfamiliar and possibly intimidating to the child.
The program is operating successfully in agencies all over the country, including non-profit organizations such as Easter Seals, state government agencies, and private therapy institutions.
The consultants, who have degrees in child development fields, receive intensive training by Dr. Solomon and his supervisory staff, in the DIR®/P.L.A.Y. Project® model before working with families. They then make 3-hour visits every four to six weeks to families’ homes to teach parents how to provide intensive, one-on-one, play-based services to their young children with autism.
