After attending an AutPlay® Therapy Training, AutPlay® quickly became a resourceful go to guide for my play therapy sessions with neurotypical and autism spectrum children and adults alike. It is practical and easy to learn. Ingeniously, it encourages immediate family involvement via parental guidebook of similar exercises done at home with children for greater developmental impact. The simplicity and practicality of the therapy cultivates growth and self-development of the clients involved.

Dr. Grant has done an extraordinary job of pulling together the effective brain based research to develop play based interventions. The dimension of teaching caregivers how to utilize AutPlay® creates a proactive approach and a whole family approach to improving the function and mastery of these wonderful clients.

Dr. Robert Grant has developed an amazing tool to help counselors work with children with Autism or any child who has difficulty expressing and coping with emotions, and socials skills. AutPlay® activities are easy to follow and use for any child or adolescents. The children I have used the activities with love them! They ask to do them again and again. The tools and resources are very helpful.

As parents, we’re always looking for new ideas and strategies to help our children have success. The Parent-Led Social Skills Groups is one of those ideas. Thank you Dr. Grant for putting this great tool into the hands of parents!

Dr. Grant’s Parent-Led Social Skills Groups book is easy to read and understand, families can implement the realistic suggestions and see wonderful results. Several of the directive social skills activities can be done with variations to keep the learning fun.
