A day of celebrating the how and why of playing joyously with young autistic children
About this Event

Neil Stuart has over 30 years experience playing with autistic children and supporting their parents and early years teachers. He is the author of Autism NZ’s Way to Play programme and the Let’s Play parent mediated approach.

Neil is in the UK to talk about why and more importantly how adults can create joyful interactions that promote connection, engagement and learning.

In this talk Neil will identify the barriers to connecting with young autistic children and how to overcome them. He will identify how the switch to a playful approach can lead to gains in many other areas of development. He will demonstrate through practical exercises, story, video examples and research evidence the how of playing joyously.
