Abstract

Play is the occupation of children, as they learn about the world around them. In the early formative years, the development of play is critical to skill acquisition across the domains: cognitive, physical, social-emotional, adaptive, and communicative. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often struggle to develop play skills or may engage in the same type of play without variety or advancement. Early childhood is an ideal time to encourage the development of play, but any time is the right time to address play with children with ASD. This presentation will provide an overview and brief description of an ASD, and then discuss how play can be incorporated into the everyday routines of children with ASD to foster the development of existing play and encourage novel play.
