Course Description: Describes the importance of play to a child's development and its identification as one of the core deficits in children diagnosed with autism, often described as lacking in symbolic qualities and flexibility. Explores the impact of evidence-based play interventions on future communication and language skills, cognitive functioning and social interactions for individuals with autism and other developmental delays. Describes the development of PlayTubs to increase appropriate independent and sociodramatic play skills in children with autism and other developmental or language delays by incorporating a play scheme with two complementary character roles and an effective research-based script-fading intervention to teach a child a sequence of seven play actions and corresponding vocalizations for two character roles. Also cover effective interventions including script fading, video modeling and in-vivo modeling, as well as teaching a nonvocal learner using a speech-generating device.
