1-1 parent training: how to deliver play-based naturalistic social communication therapy

One-to-One Parent Training - 12 sessions with remote supervision of your activities with your child at home

Title: How to Deliver Play-Based Naturalistic Social Communication Therapy
- A step-by-step comprehensive programme for parents/professionals to become Social Communication therapists for a child with ASD or/and speech delay.

Why use this programme? 

1. Studies show that, with training, parents can use the same strategies as specialists and be as just the same, if not more, effective.
2. Parents interact with and teach their child during both play and meaningful daily routines, such as mealtime, bathtime, bedtime.
3. Parents know their children better than anyone else.
4. Parents form special bond with their children, thanks to which they can be successful intervention providers. 
5. Parents set higher expectations from their children to perform new skills and hence, the developmental outcomes may be better as more therapy hours means better results.
