ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Cara Koscinski

Building PLAY Skills in Children with Autism
Children with autism often lack the ability to play with toys and games. Instead, they show restricted or repetitive play. Occupational therapists are experts in building skills for daily life through play-based activities. Play skills are important for building fine and gross motor, social, and thinking skills that last a lifetime. Learn why play is important and what you can do TODAY to help increase your play ability.
