Autplay focuses on addressing the mental health needs of neurodivergent children  from ages 3 y.o. to 18 y.0.   It is a neurodiversity informed and affirming collaborative process that deeply values the individual child. Parents and children are  co-change agents in the therapeutic process and work as partners with the therapist.  Play -based interventions are used to address emotional regulation struggles, social navigation needs, engagement/connection growth, anxiety and fear reduction, sensory challenges, executive functioning struggles, depression and self-esteem issues, trauma issues, advocacy, stigmatization, identity appreciation, the social model of disability, autonomy, inclusion needs, and parent/child relationship struggles.  Dr. Robert Jason Grant is the creator of Autplay.
