So often our young autistic students come to us with what we think are “no play skills”. Does your student or child dump toys, throw toys and objects, or mouth everything? Well, guess what? That is a developmental stage of play called “exploratory play”. If your student or child is in this stage of play, there is plenty we can do to nudge them toward functional play. In today’s episode, I’ll be talking about how you can use “put in” and “take out” activities for children in this exploratory stage of play.
