Developmental Diversity Affirming Play
Whole child focused – My 1:1 sessions with autistic kids, ages 4-8, are centered in a contemporary perspective practiced and empirically formed over many years of care. I am capable of playing between public and private places and each way of play is adapted to the individual interests and disposition of the child and their unique differences and sensibility
- Experiential learning – Fun and restorative; adventures out in public or child-led play at home, realizing a sense of self through play and recreation
- Situational co-regulation – Interactions of worth; emotional intervention through boundaried connection fostering depth of character and resiliency
- Gestalt language communication – Spoken connections; mapping distinctive word/phrase usage through relational gestalt speech in context
