Play Your Way

Communicate and Participate

Play Your Way is a group program offered by occupational therapy and speech-language pathology through the Division of Clinical Therapies at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

The program:

• Builds on your child’s strengths.
• Helps your child regulate emotions.
• Encourages social and play skills to build friendships.
• Makes sure they are ready for school.

This group is offered for children ages 3 through 6, with an autism diagnosis or with autism traits who are not yet diagnosed. Children need to be enrolled in occupational therapy and speech-language pathology for an individual course of care before being referred to the Play Your Way group.

Your child’s occupational therapist and speech-language pathologist may refer you to the Play Your Way group. The group will run for 10 weeks on a rolling basis, which allows your child an opportunity to connect with and engage with a variety of peers.

If you have any questions about the group at this time, please email Lana Dennison.
