The creator of P.L.A.Y. who is board certified in general pediatrics and developmental and behavioral pediatrics is coming to Tupelo Ms., on November 6-7, 2009 at 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. The registration fee is $175.00. So join us for this 2-day workshop by creator Dr. Richard Solomon as he presents the P.L.A.Y. Project, a unique community based autism training and early intervention program. The model is based on Dr. Stanley Greenspan's DIR ( Developmental, Individual differences, Relationship-based) Theory, also known as "Floortime". Part 1 of this workshop will help parents and professionals learn effective, low cost and efficient strategies for developmentally delayed young children ages 18 months-6 years in order to help them gain language, social and play skills. Part 2 of this workshop focuses on helping school age children on the autism spectrum (4-8 yrs) who are working on developing richer levels of interaction, two-way communication and social skills. The DIR theory, research and dozens of video case examples will be presented to help participants learn strategies, methods, and techniques. No prior knowledge is needed.

Space will be limited, so please inform her of your interest so she may put your group at the top of their list. A limited number of scholarships, provided by local cherities, will also be available for families in need on a regional and 1st come/1 st served basis. If there is a charitable group in your area who might be interested in providing scholarships, please contact Tricia. Additional information can be found by visiting PlayProject.

I've met Dr. Richard Solomon and heard a lecture/power point of his. G.T., the little boy that I have been doing respite care for the past two years, was a part of PLAY project. Unfortunately, his family couldn't afford to continue, but he was making great improvements while they were involved. The play workers (for want of a better name) came out to the house and the session was taped. Dr. Solomon narrated a cassette that was timed to play with the tape, giving suggestions and making comments on his development. It was all very interestesting. In my opinion definetley worth attending his seminar.
