Participants will analyze and create specific play therapy interventions to assist in goal setting and treatment planning for this community.

- Participants of this workshop will view, participate, and practice play therapy activities and approaches that promote social skills among those diagnosed with ASD and discuss interventions used with their particular clients to increase overall progress in the playroom.

- Participants of this workshop will develop and create sensory friendly stimuli to use within their play therapy practice.
- Participants of this workshop will analyze and list key concepts of identifying at-risk children who show early signs of ASD or sensory processing concerns through their play. Additionally, they will critique and discuss how this affects goal setting and treatment planning in their play therapy practice.
