Helping Autistic Kids Learn, Play and Thrive with Meg Proctor

Many autistic kids have significantly delayed play skills, as well as they have difficulty learning new skills and expanding upon the skills they already have. More often than not therapists find themselves trying to teach autistic children how to play through imitation, but these children often have major difficulty with the imitation of others. Combine that with poor engagement and visual regard for others and learning to play for an autistic child can be daunting task. In this episode, we bring on Meg Proctor MS, OTR/L who is an expert in working with autistic children and who loves teaching therapists strategies to put in their tool belt. Meg and Sarah chat about all things autism and play.
