The PLAY Project

An evidence-based, parent training program for professionals to help children with autism

The PLAY Project was founded in 2001 by Richard Solomon, MD, a developmental and behavioral pediatrician headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Dr. Solomon developed this program in response to the need for evidenced-based intensive early intervention for children with autism plus the desire to support the development of joyous relationships between children and their caregivers. The PLAY Project is available in close to 30 states and 9 countries (and counting!)

The PLAY Project recently completed a three‐year multi‐site randomized controlled trial which showed improvements in both parent‐child interaction and autism diagnosis. This large scale study focused on the impact of our autism intervention: a parent-mediated play and relationship focused program
Significant improvements in:
caregiver/parent and child interaction
social interaction of children with autism
social-emotional development of children with autism
autism symptomology

Secondary outcomes:
Improved parent stress and depression; and
PLAY Project consultant fidelity. For more information, contact us at 734-585-5333 or info@playproject.org.
