AutPlay

AutPlay® Therapy was created by Dr. Robert Jason Grant. It is an integrative family play therapy framework. AutPlay is a paradigm designed to help address the mental health needs of neurodivergent children ages 3-18 (including autistic children, those with ADHD, social anxiety, sensory differences, learning differences, and developmental and physical disabilities). AutPlay Therapy is a neurodiversity informed and affirming collaborative process designed to value the individual child and highlight their strengths as well as guide areas of intervention, goals, and approaches for addressing the needs of the child and family. It combines the therapeutic powers of play and relationship development approaches together in a collaborative model to assist children and adolescents in gaining needed skills and abilities.
