What is Play2Talk®?
Play2Talk® is a newly developed Naturalistic Developmental Behavioural Intervention (NDBI) based on a mix of key components from a number of well researched models, including Pivotal Response Therapy (PRT), Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) and DIR Floortime. It focuses on developing naturalistic play based activities and routines to support children with Autism and other developmental challenges to learn to communicate, engage and interact with others whilst learning new skills.
Play2Talk® differs from traditional treatments for children with ASD/ developmental challenges as it does not advocate an intensive programme of therapist delivered intervention. Instead, our model is focussed on a parent mediated approach where parents and family members are the key partners in their child’s therapy. Parent input has been widely recognised in a range of studies over the past decade as being critical to positive outcomes for children. Play2Talk has a strong focus on parent/ caregiver partnership and more information on our online training courses can be found here: www.play2talk.co.uk
