Introduction to Play Series (1/7) | Autism at Home

It is said 'play is the work of childhood'. Welcome to the Play Series, where we cover not just why play is important for child development, but how to teach the many different types of play to children with autism.

* Due to Covid-19 restrictions at time of filming, neurotypical children of our EAP team were filmed in their home.

Autism At Home is a non-profit initiative by The Hope Project, the non-profit arm of Early Autism Project (EAP) Malaysia. Autism At Home is an online resource platform aimed at providing simplified tips and strategies to help families of children with autism teach and support their children at home! This platform will provide you with online training videos on effective ABA teaching strategies for autism, featuring role plays, pop quizzes, and home assignments.

* This online resource platform is not intended to be a certified Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) course nor is anyone who has completed the training videos here equipped to become an ABA therapist or any other therapist. Viewers of the material on this resource platform are not equipped to train others nor supervise any ABA programmes. Furthermore, the strategies outlined on the website will not be sufficient for a complete ABA programme and we at Early Autism Project Malaysia strongly encourage families to seek qualified ABA treatment from supervised professionals.

This an excellent video/ resource! I love how you explain so effectively the importance of play and how it contributes to adult life. I am working with a child with ASD and we have moved from lining up toys and tipping out things from boxes. I am a play partner and follow his interests through interaction and considered use of toys/ resources that engage and hold his focus. It's very rewarding!
