2. Teaching PLAY

School Observations

We observe students within the school setting, make recommendations, and provide support to teachers.

Workshops

We offer workshops to educate others about autism and the characteristics of the disorder. We also provide workshops to educate others regarding best practices using evidence-based assessments and interventions.

Sound Therapy

Using the sounds of Gongs, Drums, Bells and Singing Bowls, sound therapy will help children with autism calm their minds and relax their body. Over time this therapy will increase social interaction and communication. The number of sessions needed will depend on the individual child.

Yoga Therapy

Using yoga postures, music and play to engage each child, yoga therapy is an individualized program that will improve concentration and body movement. It is a highly individualized program using fun terms known to children.
