Helping Neurodivergent Kids Thrive in the Playroom: A Conversation with Dr. Robert Jason Grant

Every month inside Play Therapy Academy and the Play Therapy Elevation CIRCLE, I hear the same heart-wide-open question:

“What’s the best way to support neurodivergent kids in play therapy so they can truly thrive?”

And honestly? Same. 

It’s a big, beautiful question — and the kind of question that deserves wisdom from someone who’s both deeply trained and living the neurodivergent experience from the inside out.

So this week… we’re doing something special.

Like – holiday-season-surprise special 🤩

✨ I’m bringing on Dr. Robert Jason Grant — the creator of AutPlay® Therapy — for a live conversation you do not want to miss.

Dr. Grant is the real deal: a therapist, supervisor, consultant, and brilliant guide who blends his lived neurodivergent experience with years of specialized training to help children and families access support that’s affirming, grounded, and actually effective.

Together, we’re diving into:

🔹 What exactly is AutPlay?

A friendly, no-jargon intro to the model every play therapist should know.

🔹 How does AutPlay help neurodivergent kids heal + grow?

We’ll talk nervous system support, therapeutic play processes, and why “affirming” isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a necessity.

🔹 How do you include parents in a way that actually works?

Because when parents feel seen, supported, and equipped, everything in the playroom shifts.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to adapt your play therapy work for kids with neurodivergence — or you just want to expand your toolbox with a play therapy model rooted in compassion and neuroscience — pull up a chair. 

This one’s for you.

Come hang out with us live — bring your coffee, your curiosity, and that one question you’ve been low-key nervous to ask.

This convo is going to make your play therapy heart do a happy little wiggle. 💛
