playproject.org
The P.L.A.Y. Project Agency Training Program provides the tools for agencies to set up The P.L.A.Y. Project Home Consulting Model in a variety of community settings, including Early Intervention agencies, Community Mental Health agencies, and non-profits such as Easter Seals. We have trained 500 home consultants from nearly 100 agencies in 27 states and 7 coun-tries outside of the U.S. Professionals trained in our program are prepared to teach parents and other professionals play-based approaches that are effective in helping children with autistic spectrum disorders reach their potential.

The agency training was a wonderful education on the DIR levels and practical information on setting up and functioning
as a P.L.A.Y. Project agency. The information was well organized and I felt like I was ready to implement the program
when I returned to my community. —Betsy Furler, Texas
This was the most engaging and user-friendly training I
have ever attended! I left this training knowing that I have
an approach with tactics that I can actually use.

Who We Train
For any school or agency’s success, we’ve found that home
consultants do best when they have an in-depth familiarity
with children’s development, an easy ability to follow the
child’s lead and play, and an ability to work supportively
with families as a coach and ally. For this reason, we train
professionals affiliated with and supported by agencies
including: psychologists, social workers, speech and lan-
guage pathologists, teachers, occupational therapists, etc.
