Autism Signs

This video shows dozens of play sessions between parent or professional and child. Using a technique called 'Object Focused Play', the video teaches parents how to use toys to capture a child's attention and initiate learning. Very easy-to-follow, these scenes allow parents to replicate the same play activities at home, and begin to help their child interact with people and objects in their surrounding environment. To get started, first establish what toy or activity a child is most interested in. This 'entry point', such as pouring water or dropping a ball, sets the foundation for simple play routines and helps maintain a child's interest, which is crucial. Trying to establish a regular schedule of play sessions is another key to success, as often as 3 hours per day, 5 days a week if possible. Embracing Play opens up new avenues of interaction and learning for children with autism. The benefits of these play skills pave the way for communication and social development. Approximate running time: 47 minutes.
